Fifty Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Last year I lost my beloved Old English Sheepdog; now today his old pal Duma has gone. Came home from work to find he couldnt walk so rushed to vet. Had to put him down. It appears a blood clot had got him and no cure possible. Gutted; the kids have gone away; the dog has gone, and now him. I miss them. RIP Rafiki and Duma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sorry to hear this Rich. It's always a hard time when you lose a close family pet. It's also hard for others who don't have pets to understand how close and attached you become to them. Take care buddy and sorry once again.

Class One Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Rich, perhaps it was for the best. If you were planning on taking him to Costa Rica, the trip might have been too much. Much better for them to stay at home, where they belong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks all I know this community loves animals. I hope my future plans will allow me to care for other animals. I cant get another dog or cat right now because of this but one day I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant get another dog or cat right now because of this but one day I will. We got another dog about 6-7 months after ours died, hit by a car. Trust me mate, the house feels so empty you just need to have another pet to keep you sane sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That's very sad Rich, I know how you must feel It's very sad when you loose pets, they really become part of your family, you get very attached to them, but they have such a short life compared to us. I still miss by old black labrador Boss, I had him since he was the size of a bag of sugar in my hand, he was my best mate and would go everywhere with me. You can never replace pets, but they all have their own personality which we all remember so well with happy memories. Rafiki and Duma are living the good life somewhere else now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sorry to hear about your cat Rich, as my misses would say they leave paw prints on your hart, we have a few, and we will be devastated if we lose any, even though some are now getting old and frail.

robin Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 It's always horrible to lose a beloved pet. At least you got to say your goodbyes. We have had 6 cats, 3 still going and the eldest of which was nearly 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Rafiki and Duma Feck me I had to do exactly the same on Thursday night, same reason too, only my outcome so far is better...Sophie is still alive...her blood clot was has moved more into her left hind leg and she's on medication. It's hoped that with time she can either break it down or lodge it somewhere safe that she can bypass. Anyway I know how we felt on Thursday night as we thought we would lose her too... RIP Duma. Fingers crossed for Sophie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
