Completely agree that Biden is a shambles, but he is a better option than any of the divisive candidates the Republicans have to offer up. Also, this is a thread about Dogs.

Sounds terrible, but if the dog is that bad requiring anything major I just bite the bullet and get it put down. Had to do that with my last one, spent about a grand getting her tit removed due to cancer. It came back🥺 vet was wanting her to get chemo etc. broke out hearts getting it done.

The downside is the total heartbreak at the end. As you say, the emptiness and remorse is just awful. Had to have my lurcher girl Angel put to sleep 5 months ago - I still shed tears at the memory of it, which in turn brings more tears at the similar memory of my previous lurcher boy Sam being put to sleep in 2015. All you can do is focus all your love & attention on whichever dog is still with you. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 21 hours ago, henrysmithsgloves said: Now, tempting though it was,I wrote "boss" I'm not that daft🤕🤕 Many years ago, a pal of mine had a wee mongrel. As a result of a scuffle with a car (or maybe a motorbike), the dog walked with a noticeable limp. A few years later, the family got a red setter pup, a gorgeous creature - who promptly got into the habit of following the little mongrel around while walking with the exact same limp. The pair of them were like a weird comedy cartoon version of Mutt and Jeff. The setter stopped walking with the limp a few weeks after the older dog died, which was at the same time funny and kinda sad. 🐶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnrazor Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'm hopefully taking a bitch to a dog to get lied in a fortnight, I only ever breed a litter if I want a pup myself, fingers crossed that there's a nice dark yellow dog pup, if not I'll keep a bitch pup, both parents are fully health tested and great examples of the breed, Labrador, Archie if I keep a dog and Meg if it's a bitch.
