Today our dog would have been nine...

...which I decided to mention on the blog (along with a neat photo). So I thought I'd mention it here too. He's just been on my mind a bit.

He was v. cute. I still think of him often, and still miss him. :-(

:-( *hugs* Losing pets early = never ever fun. The second family dog in our life had to be put to sleep because at ten years old she just wasn't healthy any more, and we figured she wouldn't survive my parents' move to Carmel. As that was the dog I had inadvertantly picked -- I still remember being taken by her as a puppy when she wandered away from the rest of the little guys and was sniffing around on her own -- losing her that way was terribly hard.

You know you have my sympathy on that, Christine, as I've said before.

As far as you're concerned, Martin, I don't know anything. I don't believe a word you say. And I'm kind of upset you had bad taste enough to post this here -- it doesn't make *me* feel better. I'm angry as hell with you several times over, and that fact has already made me consider at length not posting here anymore.

*sigh*

Thanks, Ned. I appreciate the hugs a lot. I'm not feeling really upset, even though Fred's illness was long and at times ugly. I'm glad I can look at photos like the one I posted and smile and remember the good stuff. That's important. He was a great dog.

Sorry for the other stuff.

(Okay, I won't respond to you any more - I have no desire to drive you away from here. What I said was absolutely sincere, for what it's worth.)

Given the history, it means nothing. I assume your public face is your priority in most things. I hope it did make you feel better.

Sorry again.

Christine, *hugs*

My beta fish died last night. He's been sick for awhile but I was still sad. He's the first fish I've ever had. I rescued him.

Tomorrow will be the anniversary of my last doggy. He would have been 11. :( It is very sad. He had to get put to sleep since he suffered from Arthritis severely. The vet had to come to my house to do his job. But he was so unsympathetic, cold and heartless. Emotions in the house were high. Ok, I know it's his job but he could have been at least a little more compassionate. It makes me wonder. It's amazing how attached we can get to our animals. Of course, they are a member of the family. I've been lucky enough, and extremely grateful, that I've not lost anyone close to me but how I was with the dog makes me wonder how I would react if it was someone close to me. Ok, I'll shut up now. Sorry.

Christine, Your dog looked very silky and sweet.

Do you have a new pet now?

He was lovely. He was really intelligent (I mean sneaky kind of intelligent at times). He liked getting himself dirty a hell of a lot!

I hope we might get another dog sometime, but we're still trying to move out of this dirt-hole of a house. Can't think about stuff like that until this mess is settled.

I think about my family dog all the time. whenever I go out to my parents house I get all excited because I'm going to see him again, and then I remember he died five years ago.

You know, what sort of upsets me is I was really bonded with our dog. Then I went to live in Manchester for three months -- a disaster of titanic proportions -- and when I came back, it was never quite the same with him. I really regret that.
