Welcome to all Dog lovers & generally Canine minded Folk. I have started this to enable a Thread to be used-in the Pet section with a title 'I love Dogs' so there will be no problems with attracting the right Posters, and the 'wrong Posters' give it a swerverCool. I am mainly a working Dog Lover, I have had-J/Russells, Retrievers, Lurchers. Currently have 2 White Cockapoo's. Mum & Daughter. Not my kind of Dogs(at first) the OH fell in love with the Breed a year after losing the Retriever. Now I couldn't imagine life without them. You either love Dogs or don't, if you do then life without them really is empty. I feel for the none Dog Folk, not knowing the joys of owning Dogs. But I'm not stupid enough to believe just because I love em everyone should. So if you would like to talk Canine, please be my guestSmile

They are fun that’s for sure, every day a learning day🤣 Our pair of Airedale pups housetrained super easily, all sorted within a week. Great we thought. Two years later, not having had any mishaps, we took in MIL’s gorgeous but very elderly Labrador. Bessie was 17, and still full of fun, but time meant her bladder wasn’t functioning over long overnight periods. So she had the occasional mishap, on paper put down just for her. Along comes Lily the Airedale, not fond of rain, snow or the cold. Particularly being outed early morning. So, as Bessie is allowed, why shouldn’t she do the same, and stay warm🤣 Little blighter used to stroll into kitchen, look at me and then squat for a pee!😱 I am sure Canine Psychologists have a special “terrier” category🤣

This morning we had to make the worse decision to have our lovely Husky (Sula) put to sleep , the last few days she had been loosing weight, so took her to the vet where they diagnosed acute kidney failure, and the kindest thing to do was to end her life . Sometimes you have to put your pet first and not try to hang on them for your own sake 

life is going to be so different now , as we have decided not to have any more dogs , I have had various  dogs for over 50 years , and now it’s time for us

Thoughts are with you HD. It is so, so hard, and all you can do is the best for them, and it’s a horrible but brave decision to make. Treasure those memories. We are like you, had dogs most of our lives, and it doesn’t get any easier. Wishing you all the best.

Really sorry to read your news HD. It's a heart wrenching position we've been in several times and it never gets any easier. But it's the decision we know, when we take on our beloved companions, that we're likely to have to make one day. We have to steel ourselves to make that decision for their benefit rather than our own, which is what  you have bravely done.  Cherish the memories. Our thoughts will be with you.

Very sorry to read your news HD. It's always a very painful decision to make but unfortunately one that many of us have had to make in the past. All the best wishes to you at this sad time.

Oh HD, such a hard decision to make. Our hearts go out to you. We had to put our Labradoodle put to sleep at two and a half due to cancer, so we know exactly what you are going through

And the same from me too, HD. I am sure the memory of Sula will stay with you for a long time and you will remember all the pleasure she gave both you and your OH.
