had to go and get the 13 year old springer put to sleep this morning.

He had his second stroke last night.

I didnt realise they went so quick. The injection had barely started and he was gone.

Foookin expensive mind.

Heart-breaking.

Sympathies to all

..we're on to about our 7th generation of these wonderful animals, and losing one never gets any easier. Try to remember the good times, and be thankful you were lucky enough to share their lives.

R.I.P.

Horrible thing to have to do but it is better than letting them suffer and it is pretty much instant. Sympathies for the loss of your dog and the bill.

aye cheers.

He was like a cat with 9 lives for the last few years.

Had more ailments than a hospital full of pensioners.

Gone now though.

Didn't The Bill get finished about 3 years ago?

Yes but if somebody accidentally catches a repeat they deserve our sympathy.

Sympathies Mr.Gloves....always sad when a Dog has to be put to sleep!!!! R.I.P.

This thread is not to be hijacked, or any piss taking is not allowed.

Stop it. I am feeling sad.

So no fooker better say:

andy dibbles gloves dogs dead

with the cheeky get.

Cheers Mate.

He had a good life mind.

Though I never did forgive him for the time he managed to open the kitchen door and run into the living room and nut my plate out of my hands that had my kebab on it. The kebab flew all over the floor, and I had share it with the cheeky get. I have killed for less.

...them's yer memories!

It's almost impossible to explain how it feels to people who haven't had dogs in their families. It's a bereavement like any other, but you will get over it in time, and hopefully get another to take its place.

ADG in "eats kebab meat off the floor" shocker!

13 years and it only got its 2nd stroke last night. use to stroke my dog every day..sorry sympathies mate. I've lost pets.

PS Sympathy about the dog mate, I've had to do it a couple of times and it a fecking awful thing to have to do.

or the time on the beach at Crimdon, when he ran away from us in the sand dunes.

We heard a woman shout get your dog away from me......screaming at the top of her voice.
umping.
I knew instantly who the culprit was.

Ran over the dunes to see the woman holding her dog in her arms whilst my nutter was hanging on to her leg.

"The woman angrily shouted at me for not having my dog on a lead, and saying to get him away from her dog"

I politely informed her that it wasnt her dog he was after humping.

He had his front legs wrapped around her, and she didnt realise.

Oh, Dibble, that's very sad.

It looks as though we'll have the same ordeal with our cat soon. He's 16 and seemed to be programmed to go on for ever, but we had bad news from the vet last month that his days seem to be numbered. So, I kind of known how you must feel.

aye. Not nice Grabec.

To be honest I have been putting today off for months.

Huge sympathies from me, too.

We had to put our 16 year old dog down two years ago. It was no less a bereavement than if it had been human. I was failing to hold back the tears regularly in the few days after.

One of our other dogs (who is now 11) snapped her cruciate last week. She's in for the operation to replace it tomorrow. It's been heart-breaking watching her hop around on 3 legs for the last week.

You fancy taking Howard with you Grabec, you might get a good deal and it'll put a few off here out of their misery

Sorry to hear that Darren, it can be as bad as losing a child in terms of grief. You could always eat it.

Darren?

Is ADG Darren Rickerby?

thats not nice.

it needed seasoning.

No, that's me.

But I could be you.

This is possible. You're probably Waldo, trying to throw us off the scent.

Oh, I see.

I thought it was strange as ADG's reputation suggests gluttony and your photo does not marry up with such a trait.

welcome to the board with the reputation for gluttony.

I am skinnier than that Proclaimer.

Not a chance!!!

Just to back up Mr Dibble; he is indeed a fat horrible bastard.

You have my sympathies Dibble.

When I was 15 I did my work experience at the vets on Stockton Road. Part of it was observing operations and treatments etc. One of them was a dog that an old dear had brought in for an injection. Unbeknown to me it was to be his last one. It remains the most uncomfortable moment of my life.

Our last cat Jasper was 14 when the good lord took him from us..i can still see him now basking in the sun on next door's shed roof....god bless his little paws..

Sorry that you now have no pussy Sussex but I have to break the news that even in the most fervently lunatic christian sects nobody thinks 'the good lord' collects dead cats. Either the council took him or he is currently balanced on George Reynold's head.

As a fellow Springer owner you have my sympathies ADG...not sure i could do it

I remember walking back from the vets when my cairn was put down with the lead and collar in my hand, storming upstairs having a good sob ....... I didn't even do that for people....!

Had to do it on Christmas Eve three years ago to our lovely lady rottie..What a sad day

I know how you feel ADG, lost my hamster 2 weeks ago.

Not good to lose a mate.

Nearly lost both of my dogs - well, I say dogs but maybe I mean rabbits, they're King Charles Cavaliers - today when they escaped from the back yard....I was running up hill and down dale looking for the buggers, must've looked a right tit....

Saved me walking them in the rain though as they'd had their exercise by the time I found them. Every cloud

Cheers everyone.

Had to drive to Southampton a couple of hours after leaving the vets, and got back at 11 last night.

And it suddenly dawned on me that there was no dog waiting to go out.

You need to get a new dog fairly soon Mr Dibble. Doesn't replace the old one but it gets life back to normal.

If you want to collect him I can offer you an insane 9 month old Lab/big hairy French hunting dog cross called Big Steve. For some reason nobody wanted a massive, deranged puppy that looked like Gnasher on crack. I should mention that he does chew stuff, including cars and farm vehicles, and runs away after a shag or to flush wild boar out of the woods fairly regularly.

Mrs Dibble wants a small dog.

Youngest dibble wants a husky

Older Dibble wants a beagle

Me? I want two alsations, and two huskies

Have you considered one of those part-wolf dogs? I know a bloke who has got one and it looks exactly like a wolf. It also howls like a wolf which is very impressive and makes all nearby dogs shit themselves.

I think we will end up with a small dog.

But would love that wolf thing.

Something like this would be good-

That isnt a dog. Its an alien

'kinell!

If I were you Daz, I would see how you feel in a few weeks, then get another Spring-pot.
We've lost six over the years, and for all we said Never Again, you just miss them so much you have no choice. Mind, they don't come cheap now. Have a look at NESSRs page. Staggeringly, there are loads of these wonderful dogs in need of rescue and a loving home. Give it time though.

Got bulldogs and Shin Tzu's for a little dog the Tzu's have big attitude for a small dog ..but make sure you get two!

The words presented may not be the ones inputted ..Thanks Tapatalk

When the time is right definitely look on there ADG...

Springers are the way forward

Big Steve in his camouflage. A very classy dog indeed.
