Hamish Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) These would lick you to death and they certainly don’t know the difference between 1/2” and 13mm Edited March 1, 2019 by Hamish Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Cinders was my constant shadow for almost 18 years. All that time she earned her keep by always having a bottle opener on her collar. She was always popular when the beer light was lit at the end of a days skydiving. I still miss the sound of her opener tanging against her metal drink bowl by the back door.

Hamish Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 It is so sad to loose a loyal non judging friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 But is a dog's place in the workshop? A favourite simile of mine is "As blind as a welders dog", with the pathetic picture of the poor pooch staring loyally at his master's vocation, until the UV inevitably gives it cataracts.

Rod1883 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Had to make the sad decision on one of our old cats today. RIP Cassie cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod1883 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yes, they become part of the family. Our two rescue cats arrived with us about 16 years ago - one aged 18 months the other 9 months. I'm still at least a little upset at losing the little grey cat - mainly because it involved the distress to her of going to the vet for the final deed. I know it is wrong to anthropomorphise how we would feel onto animals, but she didn't like visiting the vet at the best of times If only she could have died peacefully at home. We still have the younger one, Fidget: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) See my post pic above grey and black dogs. The little grey one damaged his back at the weekend. Trips to vets then a rush drive to a top animal hospital near castle Donnington scans revealed a vertebrae trauma thus he had surgery yesterday. Poor little mite was a rescue dog who had suffered god knows what for the first 8 months!! i just hope the insurance can help us out as we are already in for £6k but what price fixing your little mate who is always there for you and brightens your day with just a wag of his tail. The other dog is depressed too. Hopefully home in a week or so. they don’t half put you through the wringer !!!

Rod1883 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Sorry to read this Hamish. As you say they are our friends, and part of the family. Dogs, probably, give you unconditional love, cats are a little more aloof. Our two cats were rescue and like your dogs we don't know what they went through before we got them. The tortoiseshell - Fidget - remains pretty subdued two weeks plus after losing her companion, although in life it often appeared that they barely tolerated each other. We are all a bunch of softies when it comes to our pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Which is the joy of cats. A yes-man, yap-man is less fun than one that occasionally bestows their favour on you. We have two rescues, one is completely soppy, yet goes in and out, is well known in the neighbourhood for friendliness, and hunts and kills rats. The other is a house cat, mostly, a moody psycopath who will lash out for no reason. And we have an outside cat, a true stray who is grateful for anything we give her - and then slinks off! Their interactions are fascinating. The psycopath becomes a raging terror if confronted by the outside cat, the rat killer the opposite, he'd rather creep away, but will then show off by climbing trees and pretend hunting when further from the outside cat.
