Title: R.I.P. Max
Post by: Marley's Ghost (Imbiber of Spirits) on May 09, 2013, 07:09:15 AM
Had to make the heart breaking decision to let my little dachshund Max go yesterday afternoon.

He was only eleven - way too early but he had liver failure and had gone from 4.6 kg to just 3.6 - just skin and bone.

Life will not be the same without his little face around . . . . . .

Thanks one and all for the kind comments - Max may have been "just a dog" but that doesn't mean he isn't missed (BM understands) and it will be a while before certain things don't cause a spike of grief.

John Galsworthy puts it quite well:


Not the least hard thing to bear
when they go from us, these quiet friends,
is that they carry away with them
so many years of our own lives.

Poodles don't moult. You'd look good with one of these  whistle:  Just make sure you hold your arm out at 90 degrees with the lead dangling like they do at Crufts etc

Agreed. But a poodle without those bob/lion cuts etc is a great looking dog

Met an exceedingly frenly Labradoodle for the very first time today.

He was dark brown, and came bounding up to me, jumped up and licked me face. cloud9:
Very obedient, and had a luvlee smiley face.
Thouroughghly gorjus, and will be looking into this as a possibilty.

He followed me around whilst I did me job. lol:

The garage owner sed he obviously luvved me. cloud9:

I offered to do the job in p/x, but he said NO CHANCE. sad32:
