Sad Dad
-
I just had my father on the phone, he sounded a bit upset. Took one of his dogs to the vet, and returned alone. It was 16 years old, and had been frail for a while so it was not unexpected, but still very sad. It is the other dog I feel sorry for, he has lost his pal.

It took me a year to want a new dog after Bailey (13-year-old Golden retriever) passed away from congestive heart failure.

Odd that they get to you like that. I think of myself as cynical and hard bitten, but ended up on medication for a few months.

Sad indeed. Condolences to your father and other dog. :rose:

Think of all the money he will save on dog food, vets bills, kennels... Thats a few grand a year I reckon!

Wrong answer - get him a dog from the pound. There are too many dogs that get euthenized because nobody wants them.

Then not wrong. Merely incomplete.

Go back to your cubical. You obviously have never had a pet you cared about. They become part of the family and the loss is felt very keenly. The money is not thought of in the manner you suggest. I would not spend thousands to save a pet (I do not have that kind of money) but I have spend hundreds to save one. To illustrate peoples attachment to their pets notice the pet cemeteries around the USA. (Again I do not spend that kind of money on a pet.)

Obviously, you are not married and have no children at all, because that saves you a lot of money. What an odd way to see life...
I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

A few weeks back, in the space of a day, we had two rabbits die and my father. I also lost a hard disk and telephone and internet. :) Dont tell me about grief, I lost two days contracting money with the internet being down! :mad:

Just the English sense of humour. I dont expect most people to understand it.

Well, they were such meager things, and the look on my daughters face really precluded any kind of gastronomic finale! :)
