Beautiful dog - I take it that is his favourite chair :)
Thank you, she's a lovely dog. Her favourite chair generally tends to be the one I'm sitting in at that time!

Why do they insist on jamming themselves onto spaces that are too small for them?Quote:

yes, they like small spots like cardboard boxes etc. mine had a habit of sleeping on the upstairs windowsill. on occasion she fell off. you would hear the thud as she landed on coalbunker with a bemused look on her face;)

Tango in a box. :)
yep mine would do that on the inside ledge which is about an inch and a half wide, and he was massive. He dozed off and fell a couple of times and finally abandoned the practice.Quote:

Marco.
cats have a higher internal temp to keep up so like warm places:)
Yeah, defo... It's the furry ginger one Del's snuggled up beside now on the sofa:)
Thing is, they make HER hot in bed [even with next to nothing on], and also take up an inordinate amount of room for their size!:doh::D

We are not sure of her age, but she is slowing down a lot and we reckon around 11 or 12. So getting on a bit now.
Fussy as f*ck mind - just like a pussy should be! :)

We will miss him greatly, he was a wonderful gentle dog, who was just happy to be with us, and full of life.[emoji22]
As you can imagine I am devastated, but I know in my heart it was the right time for him, and let him pass with dignity and no pain. [emoji22]

Very sorry to hear that Adrian. He was a lovely smiley dog. Always a pleasure to see his picture. You did right thing even if it was painful for you both.
Thanks Grant, he was a lovely boy, full of love and fun, and just wanted to be with me or Sue. We are in shock a bit, we knew the day would come but you’re never ready for it.
He will remain my avatar, is a good memory of him.

Really sad news Adrian, he looked such a lovely old boy.
Doing right by your dog is very painful. Great memories, companionship and love are eternal reminders of the bond you had.

You have my greatest sympathy Adrian, bloody awful for your family.

She has an amazing knack for finding lost footballs, don't ask me how.
Sorry to hear about that. His coat was a lovely colour. The avatar will remind us all.Quote:

Of ALL the places the daft wee thing could go!:doh: Cats, eh?:D
Marco.
It's with a heavy heart that I came to the decision to rehome my little Mia. She's been living with a foster mum since I've been in hospital and then the nursing home and with the likelihood I'll be here for some time to come and also that Mia and her foster mum have clearly formed a very close bond I thought it for the best. I couldn't stand the thought of putting Mia through yet another house move, she absolutely hates the carrier box and all the stress of moving, and also it would break her foster mum's heart saying goodbye. So her foster mum is now her forever mum, I know they will be so happy together and that made the decision a little easier for me. Yes I will miss her and I'm feeling very sad but I know it is all for the best, after all my first priority is for Mia's care and happiness.
Really sorry to hear that Ian, that's got to be a tough gig.
Really tough :(
You've definitely done the right thing with minimising her (and your) stress, and you know she'll be cared for.
I for one will miss those great pics of what must be the prettiest cat on AoS :sofa: I wish her well for the future, sounds like she'll be fine. And hoping you get better soon Ian.
Hi Ian,
Firstly, I didn't know you were in hospital, and now a nursing home, so sorry to hear that. I wish you the best for a speedy recovery and return to home, presuming that is possible?
Being similarly a big cat lover, I also echo the sentiments from Steve and Jon about the terribly difficult decision you've made. People who aren't animal lovers simply don't understand what a wrench it is either coping with the death of beloved pet, or having to make the type of heartbreaking decision you've just made, which shows that you have Mia's best interests at heart.
As a cat owner myself (we have three), I know all too well the distress and trauma that they can go through in carrier boxes, when being taken to the vets, and worse, if they are left in kennels or taken to a strange home.
Obviously I'm unware of your particular circumstances, but was there no way of keeping Mia in her own home, with a neighbour, nearby friend or member of your family, popping in to feed her, etc, whilst looking after your house in your absence?
That's what we do with ours - our neighbour looks after our cats, when we're on holiday (for up to 3 weeks) and we return the favour by looking after theirs when they're away. This keeps the cat(s) in their own environment, where they're happiest, whilst also getting some regular human contact. It's not ideal of course, as the cat(s) would still miss their owner(s), but far better than putting them into kennels, as some folks do.
However, obviously that would only be sustainable for so long, therefore much depends on how long you'd be away for. Anyway, you've done a very brave, selfless and caring thing, so I commend you for that, and wish you all the best in your return to good health, or as close to that as is possible:cool:
Marco.
Firstly thankyou gents for your kind words, yes it was a very difficult thing to do but as Marco said it was the right thing for us all. Mia's new mum Lynn is a lovely lady and very experienced with the furry ones. Mia is so settled and content at Lynn's home and as she has been a house cat all her life loves the space, looking out of the windows and all the love and attention Lynn gives her and of course she has taken over the house, like cats do.
Regarding my situation my pancreas is failing, thankfully I don't have diabetes but an enzyme made in the pancreas that allows the body to process protein into muscle mass is not being made and as a consequence my muscles have atrophied and currently I can't stand or walk and I find most activities very tiring. There is a treatment using a synthetic enzyme that will help build muscle mass but the correct dosage is critical as too much can be fatal and too little will do nothing at all, it's a very fine line between the two. It will take three to six months of testing and observations to get the balance right. As I need quite a lot of help at the moment I will be staying here at the home for now and as i won't be able to return back to my flat because i won't be able to manage the layout, stairs etc, I'll be looking for a new , more suitable place to live. Lots of upheaval and changes but I just try to get on with things as best as I can.
sorry to hear of your trouble ian... i really do hope the best for you and you get your life back at least to an extent... keep popping inQuote:
