This is our new family member, Billie.
She’s a 4 month old Tibetan Terrier and enjoys being a WUM to the clawed furry ones.

Raising a bottle of cider to my darling girl Maddie who has just been put to sleep after a short illness. Both me and the wife are heartbroken. Rest easy waggy bum, and go chase that tennis ball with your brother.

So sorry to read this about Maddie. It must be a terrible time for your family.
She looks like she had fun and was truly loved.

Really sorry for your loss

All of us on this thread know exactly what you're going through. Post more if it helps.

So sorry for your loss.
Take comfort in knowing that you gave Maddie the best life, and in return she gave you happiness and love.

 

[timbha]

So sad. Remember the good times and all the fun you had.

[Ooh it’s a corner]

While we’re in sad mood I will share that we have similar heartbreak at our place currently - different animal but same principle. In June 2007, at my wife’s insistence and years of expense, we bought a horse for her and her youngest daughter to ride and care for. This then led to a second horse a couple of years later and to the purchase in 2009 of a house with a couple of acres of land. We are/were not rich and horses are ###### expensive to keep so led to many sacrifices

but they really are lovely animals. Anyway when we lost the first in 2017 I think that was bad but last week we lost Tango who was 29 and had been with us for 18 years. To say my wife is heartbroken is a massive understatement.

Whether dogs, horses or whatever, animals are so lovely and a privilege for us to care for. RIP Tango

RIP Tango.
My wife had horses for many years , so I understand how devastated your wife is feeling .
Even though she said goodbye to her last horse more than 18 months ago, my wife couldn't bring herself to sort through his tack until recently, and is giving it to a horse rescue centre.

Sorry for your loss @Madafwo many of us on here know the pain you are going through.

I love the picture of Maddie on the train, bet she said to her doggy pals “a car, I got to stick my head out of train, much cooler”

My dog decided to roll in dog shit whilst out hiking with his dog walker this morning, he's currently banished to the balcony until I finish work and take him to the pet store for a bath, little fucker.

I was thinking the same thing on the train pic.

And add my condolences to @Madafwo

Ha! Been there many times but it’s fox poo that’s the worst imo - scent lasts for ages and the dogs bloody well love it!!

Thanks Seagull on the Hill - I’ve dealt with all the tack, rugs etc and given it all away to others or to horse rescue. My wife can’t deal with anything at all and bar one or two items wanted it to go asap to a good home

So sorry @Ooh it’s a corner - I never owned a horse but worked closely with them all through my childhood and teens so understand the amazing connection one can have.

We’ve most of us been through the pain of losing a family pet (s) and so can imagine some of the sorrow you must be feeling.

@Madafwo too - sympathies to you too for losing Maddie - very sad indeed
