Man's best friend

Poor bugger really wants to kip on her comfy, fluffy bed but she's on it for a minute or two and then bolts back to the hallway floor which can't be comfy but will be cold. She'll be back on the kitchen floor next and then back at the bed looking for comfort and a sleep in about 20 minutes based on the last hour lol
 
The eldest of our 3 spaniels had to be put to sleep today. Been in my wife's family for 15 years and moved in with us when we bought our house 6 years ago.

Didn't consider myself a dog person till I met my wife and now I don't know how I went so long without one around.

Gutted and my wife's in bits as she's had her half her life.

Sorry JW. Gutting.
My pooch was 9 at the weekend and it goes through my mind alot now how time has flown.

Was gonna post in here actually. Not spoken to him yet but I think my neighbour lost his pooch over the weekend who had been struggling for a while mobility wise. Saturday he put a little display on his drive, some potted sunflowers, framed pic of his pooch. His way of telling us all she had gone i presume. :cry:

Sorry too hear that mate. We are a Spaniel family. Absolutely love them.
Fabulous dogs.
I couldn't believe when the last one died how cracked up I was.
They weedle their way into your affections, and you don't even realize you've been taken over.
One has just basically chucked her dish at me. Hilarious.
Sincere condolences.
 
Ours is 13 and 4 months now and has cancer, but she is fighting to stay with us; her tail still wags and she can still walk about and, with help, gets up and down the stairs to bed. Hard as nails, aren't they, animals? I moan about a dodgy hip. I can't bear the thought of having to take her to the vet; I just hope she goes to sleep one night and doesn't wake up. Amazing old girl

Lol.
I saw the owner, my neighbour, yesterday. After seeing him with said , evidently not dead pooch!, the day before. After I apologised for thinking his pooch had passed on he explained that it was a little display for the village sunflower competition. I don't do Facebook so wouldn't know it was happening. Turns out he was confident of winning and because the judge loves his pooch he thought placing a picture of her next to the sunflowers might get him extra points. Pmsl.

I've just had sausage and black pudding with fried bread and beans, sat down at the table on the decking, and within 2 seconds, there's a big brown Labrador's head on the table. She can't see much out of her good eye now, but the nose and the tail still work. I had one bit of each item and gave her the plate; it's breaking my heart watching her die.

How we all should mate, a full belly and a smile on our faces!

Just remember that, she's happy and loved and she knows it and she knows you are wrapped around her little paw! lol

You are making the most of things. All you can do.
Did it recently with mine down in Cornwall. Rinsed every moment being on the beach and in the sea with her as time with them is short in the grand scheme I guess.

Two weeks ago pup who isn't five yet was diagnosed with cancer.
Lump removed Monday and vet just rung to say histology report back.
Cancer , thankfully is grade 1, unlikely to have spread and prognosis is very good.
Throughout all of this pup has remained as barmy as ever, just pissed off because she can't go out walking yet.
Best fifteen hundred quid I've ever spent.
