Yesterday we decided that Penny's time had come. She wasn't happy any more, her legs could barely carry her, and she was incontinent and unhappy about it. So, today, we took her to the vet, and then to the crematorium. It wasn't actually unhappy, not really.

Surrounding this I have a water leak in my bathroom. The ball valve was badly installed in the toilet tank and it finally let go, drip by drip. And that seeped through the floor and we now have soggy kitchen walls. So I started to dismantle it. Why do they supply new ball valves with plastic threaded pipe and expect you to join brass screw threads onto them?

So, I have had to cap the pipe. No bathroom loo, and no more dogs. Odd juxtaposition

You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me
HUGS for you Timmy...  [message #17837 is a reply to message #17834] Sat, 22 November 2003 22:26 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Odd days can be really...odd, yeah. I know what it can be like. I haven't lost any pets I've had for ten years or more though, so my odd days don't compare to yours, but *hugs* anyway!

Take care, my friend... Don't let worldly matters bog you down too much if you can. Smile

I still look over at the gate when I get home and half expect our little Nira to be there whinning and wanting to play although it's been several months since I took her to the pound. It's tough when you lose a friend.

Sorry to hear about that Timmy.

I am deathly afraid of that day with Gehngis. She has loved me unconditionally for 11 years. The thought of losing her is incomprehensible to me. I fear I will not be as strong about it as you have been.

Many hugs to you Timmy, and I hope your week away goes well.

Love to you and yours,

Kevin
