Thanks guys,

He is a bit happier as he's been cuddled all afternoon. Any excuse just to sit...had the music on of course:)

One very unhappy Orange.fr:(

he came in last night, had his dinner as normal and then settled in his usual place on the sofa. Suddenly noticed he was shaking. Bit of a shock to see half the flesh on his leg exposed, obviously a bit of delayed shock.

Straight to the vet and he was kept in overnight. Good thing I had just sold the REL as the bill used up most of the sale price:eek:

He is going to be a bit upset with the collar, watching him trying to back away from it is rather funny. Poor old lad, a couple of weeks at least until the stitches come out. He won't be going out either which will frustrate him hugely.


Sigh. Not a happy camper.

We had this gorgeous creature for all of 4 days.... last week...She is a greyhound cross.. and she had the most loving nature.. she just wanted kisses and cuddles all the time... a really lovely doggy..

When we got her home the original owner wanted her back as she missed her too much.... we consider that we have been blessed to have had her for the short time we did.. quite a remarkable dog indeed...

The owner was going to take a job in London which meant she would not have time for both the dog and her young children... she then decided that was not a good idea and didn't take the job and wanted Lola back so we had no choice but to return her... she made quite an impression on us !!

Northern Inuit.

The wiki temperament description is almost totally inaccurate , this other description in my case is 100% accurate although he doesn't dig much at all.

Some Pros and Cons of This Dog Breed
Pros

This dog breed is very friendly, affectionate and loyal.
They are good with kids.
They are docile.
They get along well with other pets, especially dogs.
They are intelligent and easily trained, particularly as pups.

Cons

These dogs are prone to extreme separation anxiety; they are a poor choice for those who spend long hours away from home.
Although docile, they tend to be highly rambunctious.
They are inveterate diggers, and are not a good choice for those with prized gardens or lawns.

Tiddles, a great friend of my late Mum, many friends, passers by, and me, unexpectedly died last Saturday. She was about 10 years old, I guess she had a coughing fit and could not breath. She very occasionally had these coughing fits, and I would massage her tummy/ chest and that would ease it.

I found her in Mum's bedroom, curled up on a chair. She was buried in the garden, quite a few friends were present. We celebrated her life with a bottle of Moet that I had been saving for Mum's 105th birthday. Mum got close to 103.

Tiddles will be sorely missed.

Thank you Grant, yes, I expected another few years, Mum's last cat got to 17. Sorry to hear that your cat suffered the same way.

Tiddles was cute, but a lot bigger than obvious in the photo. Sometime she would be sitting on Mum's lap and Mum would say:- " She's too heavy, take her off".

reminds me of a bloke I used to know who decided it was a waste of money buying meat in the shop so decided to go out into the countryside and rustle a cow.

The plan was simple. He had a van and a sledgehammer. Bash cow on head, drag dead cow into van, drive back to town.

So he waits for the middle of the night and then drives out to a field with some cows in it. He gets the sledgehammer, goes up to the nearest cow and bashes it on the forehead with all his force (and he was a big bloke). The cow just looked at him, went ' moooo!' and then wandered off. So he gave it up.

He may have been accompanied by an accomplice to aid with the dragging, I don't recall all the details now.

Same bloke once had a fight with Billy Idol. Sparked him out. Said he lost his job over it, but it was worth it.

Alfie hasn't been well lately. He's an old boy with hyperthyroidism which means he eats constantly and gets skinny so we've got him on daily meds. Not worth getting him operated on at that age but he's a character . A streetwise ex stray who charmed us and quickly became the boss of all the cats on this manor.

Long may he reign.

Best way to deal with it, mate. When we lose one of ours, the first thing we do is go along to the local Cat Protection League and get another wee moggie. Helps us deal with the loss, and most importantly, gives a much needed home to another stray kitten :)

Thanks fellas. I was just clearing some pics and stuff from my phone and found a bunch of him. Mrs B saw them and we're off again with the grief. I've had cats n dogs since I was a kid and this never gets any easier does it.

There's still Chester the ancient ginger tabby to love so after sharing his home for so long I'm going to let him enjoy being king of the hill for the rest of his days before we bring in another. However if one should happen to turn up...

Thanks Gaz. Yeah we adopted the other one when we bought our first flat. I was living at my mums for a while and a ginger stray tabby turned up. We moved in and installed a catflap and Alfie came in. We asked all the neighbours who he belonged to and whilst they had all been feeding him nobody knew. He'd been living in someone's shed and compost heap. Winter came and we neutered him so he stayed. He was charming and a real boss of the street. Fiercely territorial but a softy too.

I know what you mean, but for me the joy they give you for the duration of their lives, far outweighs the sadness you feel when they're gone. And you'll always have the happy memories, and hopefully some nice pictures to remind you of that :)

You can't go through life shielding yourself from grief, at the expense of experiencing affection and love, with animals or people, as that will ultimately lead to sadness and a sense of non-fulfilment.

Well said Marco.

I know its hard loosing any animal, I had a dog for about 8 years and was in bits when he couldn't go on any longer and we had to have him PTS. Id grown up with dogs as a kid but he was very much "my dog", id adopted him from a rescue and
he was my first real pet as an adult living initially on my own and then with my now wife.

As hard as his death was I know he had a great life with me and he was a joy to have around. I couldn't be without a dog around the house and after a bit of time we decided it was time to start a new adventure with a doggie mate :D

And so we now live with Bruce a slightly elderly STB. He was left tied to a rescue centre gate one night covered in bites. We've had him almost 4 years now, he's got a touch of arthritis and last year he had a crutiate operation which he's recovered from well thankfully. He's a lovely mutt.

Lost my Tiddles almost a year ago, she died in her sleep, still upset, but she provided joy to many people including passers by. Afer a few years here where she favoured the back garden, she then favoured the front garden and the attention and love of so many. On telling a couple of neighbours about her sad death, they cried.

Yes, a year later I'm still finding little bits of fur from Tiddles, she was buried in the back garden, my friend dug the grave. Several people at the funeral, after we enjoyed a bottle of Moet.

The previous Tiddles died in winter too, must have been something like 30 years ago. Frozen ground, I had a terrible job digging the grave

He's lovely, and such a great, characterful face. On a different note I had the 2M set up professionally as I just couldn't get it right, it is singing very sweetly now, I've changed the tonearm cable as well and that made a huge improvement.

12-07-2016, 17:27
I always have put a flee collar on, they usually have an elasticated bit so that they can escape!

I don't mind the look of a collar, usually get red or blue. When Tiddles died, I took it off to keep it. Neighbours around when she was buried in the garden, Moet afterwards. Think I've said this before.

The vet told me flea collars are rubbish - these days you get some little ampule that you push into the back of the neck. Doesn't hurt the cat although I used to do it when he was eating and distracted so not to upset him.

Also show people that the cat probably belongs to someone, and they are often reflective, can help.

Well, I think visiting time is over now, just beginning to rain, two visitors, the timid one and the big black monster. This time he didn't do the mic drop. But he looks funny with milk all over his (or her) black face.

You can get ultra sonic repellers for cats.. My one can be set for cats and has a long mains lead. You can set it up and if you see the one you dont want flick switch.. It goes away and you can leave it off for the good one. It will get the message and not come back. Some are quite sophisticated.
Mine is in loft for birds. Has reduced the problem although it would be more use if i could use all the other bits. Probably needing a new one. There is a setting for different animals you wish to target

My cat was not much smaller than him but he used to sleep on a window ledge three inches across. And then fall off. He would also sleep on my bed at night, back to back with me. That was disconcerting the first time in happened. I woke up in the middle of the night aware that someone was lying right up against me. Since I live alone this was a real WTF! moment. As I say, he was a big cat and it really felt like a person was next to me.

They do look embarrassed if they know you have seen them. They are quite complex creatures, more so than they are commonly given credit for.

Back in 1990 I was living in a house with 5 mates and one got a kitten. Little thing, perfectly marked with black and green tiger stripes, she looked like she was wearing a Vietnam era Special Forces camo suit. I used to play fight with her and we would chase each other around the house (which was large) and jump out from doorways and that. The cat would actually initiate this game by whacking me on the leg while I was watching telly or something and then running off. Used to go up the curtains too, that would have us in stitches.

Years later when I visited my friend she still remembered me and sat with me the whole time I was there.

Just found the USB lead for my cheap Fuji camera, been lost for about two years. Hiding on the internal memory which is only accessible using the lead were a few pictures taken before Tiddles died. I was putting together Rogers BBC LS3/6 from bits and pieces collected over about 10 years.

Terrible quality, but the content is OK.

Typical, you buy your furry mate a flashy exercise wheel because she doesn't go out and she can stretch her legs on it and what does she do with it.........

Old boy Chester. Properly ancient, completely deaf, arthritic and now diagnosed with kidney disease. He seems content enough though, spends most of his days in the box by the radiator. Won't eat the special diet from the vets so basically gets whatever he'll eat, usually fish and chicken. Spoilt rotten as we don't know how long he has left. As long as he seems comfortable we're letting him see out his days in warmth and comfort.

It would do you good.
