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.

Molly, the now ex-dog, had a fantastic life. And was a real lap dog, the moment anyone sat down she was in their lap getting stroked and sleeping. I think it is one of nature's cruellest strokes, that a dog does not live as long as its master.

Always sad to lose a companion but good to know they had a good life and were loved and cared for. :rose:

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

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.

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

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.)
