Bit of a sad one.

[Pignut]

I know it is a bit morbid, and small in comparison to the tragedies some folk face... But I hope I am amongst "anonymous" friends who will understand.

I was in a bad position a few months ago. I thought I was going to have to re-home my beloved dogs.... however that panned out ok.

Now I am sat with my oldest dog on a vidgel as she is very tired... if she does not pass naturally tonight, tomorrow I will have to take her on her final journey. ..

Anyway...

She is a cracking, loyal, loving dog. Who is truely my best friend and has helped me through some dark times....

If you have a drink to hand raise it to her

Good luck on your onward journey Saffie!

It's a tragedy when you lose your companion. Think of the good times mate.

Glass raised and lump in my throat. The hardest of farewells.

You're in my thoughts chap.

 

[copper_head]

Feel bad for you mate, remember happier times together.

Glass raised.

I hope she sleeps away peacefully; whether you have to carry her to her last breath or it happens tonight.
We can only sympathise; wish you both the best we can, and quietly admit that all of us who've been in your situation feel the tears too.
Their lives are so much shorter than ours, we just try to make them as rich and healthily happy as we can while they're with us.
Strong to the end, and then remember the best times with her.

I could bear my wife dumping me for a Frenchman, my house being repossessed, my rifles rusting and my truck catching fire, more easily than the loss of my dog.

Three cheers for your dog and strength to you for what is to come. My advice is to do what must be done, the last duty of a friend, and then to begin drinking heavily.

Epitaph to a Dog (for Boatswain, by Lord Byron 1808)
Near this Spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferosity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.

This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
if inscribed over human Ashes,
is but a just tribute to the Memory of
BOATSWAIN, a DOG,
who was born in Newfoundland May 1803
and died at Newstead Nov. 18, 1808.

When some proud Son of Man returns to Earth,
Unknown to Glory, but upheld by Birth,
The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below.
When all is done, upon the Tomb is seen,
Not what he was, but what he should have been.
But the poor Dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his Master’s own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonoured falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the Soul he held on earth –
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.

Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power –
Who knows thee well must quit thee with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust!
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy tongue hypocrisy, thy heart deceit!
By nature vile, ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.
Ye, who behold perchance this simple urn,
Pass on – it honors none you wish to mourn.
To mark a friend’s remains these stones arise;
I never knew but one -- and here he lies.
