My world has caved in

That's such great news goose, a very touching story

Hi Goose

You have now done all you can for Mystery.
Mystery will not want you sad and there are other dogs wanting homes.
I would try to repay Mystery for all his love by giving a new dog a home.
I can assure you he will be the best dog in the world within a few days.
He will never be better than Mystery but he will be soon equal.

Frank

That's lovely to hear Goose and I'm sure she'll be resting happily under her tree

Thank you Deedaa. I can't imagine Mystery resting...she'll be rounding up the stars....

Goose all so touching. I do hope the positives continue in your family. Mystery must have been a very special dog indeed.

I don't often agree with you Frank but this time I am 100% with you!

How wonderful Mystery brought you all together again Goose x

Hi Everybody

A vet at the surgery I go to lost his dog on Sunday evening ( a westie ).
I knew he was going to look for a new dog on Monday.
I have just heard he has found a cairn terrier. He will be collecting him on Saturday when he will be old enough to come.
I don't know the dog's name yet but I don't think it will be Andy or Andie as that is the vet's name.
I am sure the vet will now feel better knowing a dog is on the way even though he has not got him yet.
I am looking forward to meeting the new dog and I am sure Andie is as well.

Frank

Sel

Andie is a very special dog as well.

Frank

I suppose resting is a bit unlikely Goose our two collies were scattered on Maenporth Beach in Cornwall together with a third one who died several years before. I doubt if they've stopped chasing the seagulls yet

That's a very touching end to a sad story Goose. Lets hope it's not an end but a new beginning.

Also, to all those who have a dog they love and to all those who've lost much-loved dogs, we understand each other's feeling

Goose How heartwarming to hear how the love of your dog has brought you and your girls together.
I'm so glad it went well

Just to let you know I passed the vets receptionist this morning and she said the vet is going to Nottingham to collect his dog tomorrow.
She said knowing him he will be up there before 9am so the dog will be leaving early.
She said that he will be bringing the dog in at some point for the staff to see and she says that if I have not seen him before I will get an invite.
I think if that happens I will have to go without Andie as he may kick up a fuss.
I hope the new dog will be happy but I am unsure if he will be totally happy having a vet as an owner.
The vets do have photographs of their own pets on the notice board.
All of them own a dog with the exception of one who has a cat.
Oddly I did know a man who had a dog boarding kennel business and he had his own dog.

Frank

Oh Goose, so sorry to hear...

Dear Goose, never underestimate the loss of a pet.

I know just how hurt and lonely you are right now. In January this year I had to make the awful decision to have Chloe, my pet cat of 16 years put to sleep. That was hard enough but I was with her at the end, unlike you, which must be so hard to bear. Remember you are not alone we all understand and ((hug)) you.

Just to let everybody know the vet has got his cairn and has named him Peter.
I have seen a photograph on the wall of the surgery.
Some people may say the vet was a little quick to obtain another dog but I am sure his dog will have a happy life and it is 1 more dog in a good home.

Frank

I am so sorry for your loss. When my spaniel died I was inconsolable for months, I had lost my pal.I had him cremated and have his ashes in a casket with his name on. This was about 9years ago and I still seventeen ably to bury him' He's in the cupboard by my side where he always was and always will be.

Goose

Have you got another dog yet?.
I don't think I could live without a dog for over 5 weeks.
Andie is so much fun.

Frank

Just to let everybody I met the vet today and he is happy with his new dog and I think the dog is happy with his owner even though he is a vet.

Frank

One of my chickens died today

Oh dear! Did you...er...no, perhaps I won't go there....

No, I didn't. She just snuffed it for no reason I could see. And no, we didn't either 'cos we don't know the cause of death.

Aka

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your chicken.
Any animal can be a pet and I can see it can cause a lot of upset.

Frank
