What made you sad today?

[think positive]

Gees, that's awful, Stui and Luvdids, commiserations, far too young.

And skids, I'd be visiting the breeder, far too many dodgey unscrupulous breeders out there. I'd want compensation, as the mum of a dog with congenital heart failure, the tests and ongoing medication ain't cheap.

If the dog was sold for breeding, then they should have been vet certified. Poor dog.

Standing in my friend's driveway Friday night with the police waiting for the coroner to come & take his body

My brother found him after going to check on him after hadn't been responding to texts or answering phone.

Was an alcoholic. 53 years old. Died sitting up in bed with tv still on sometime during the week before. He's from Switzerland so no family here, was on holidays from work so the poor guy was just lying there dead waiting to be found.

Phuk.

It's a recessive gene. Both parents were checked, I saw the certificates.

Sorry to hear this, LD.

My dog was being a bit weird on Thursday and throwing up. Took him to the vet who said at very least he's dehydrated and needed to stay in on a fluid drip over night. He didn't really improve over the next few days so they did some tests yesterday. Diagnosis - inoperable stomach cancer.

So we brought him home yesterday to spend one last night with him. Today we decided we couldn't bare to take him back to the vet so arranged for them to come to the house this afternoon so he could go to sleep on his favourite spot.

This is honestly almost the hardest day of my life. I know we made the right decision for him, but it's so damn heartbreaking! He was only 4, still a baby. My baby. It's so unfair.

**** cancer.

^ so sorry Mandy how absolutely horrible.

It's the hardest decision - even though your head knows it's the right one your heart just aches

RIP puppy.

That's awful news, Mandy. Condolences.

Hugs honey, it's never easy, just a baby, too, so sad for you. Xxxxx

[luvdids]

So sorry Mandy
Such a nice thing though, to let him go to sleep in his favourite spot instead of a sterile vet surgery.

Friend of mine passed away, we were talking she was feeling sick, she said goodnight and then I found out she'd died. She has been through a lot, she had a stroke that had her stuck in a wheelchair, she had other health stuff. She put on a brave face though, she was doing water therapy heading into Christmas and was going to get back to it soon.

she had asked me to marry her last year, but she got back with her ex that weekend, it seemed she always wanted to be with him but he didn't her but I was always the friend for her.

She was a year younger than I am, still cannot quite believe it.
