theavonlady 2 Posted January 1, 2004 The new year is one day, 45 mins old here.I couldn't have the big night I had planned. Had to look after man's best freind for 12 and a half years. She probably barked her last bark at fireworks last night. Poor thing has days or weeks to live, so we took her back from the vet to spend some real quality time with her at home, pampering her like she has never been pampered before ( Well, she never has, she was a working dog). Before she was flat, but since coming home she has livened up remarkably. Happy times, but sadening at the same time, but probably the most memorable new years eve I've ever and will ever have. Here's to you Jessie. Next year I'll be drinking to you and the memories we share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted January 1, 2004 That is sad, ozanzac. I feel for you. A dog sure is man's best friend. I've had 3 Newfs over the last 15 years. I know how you are feeling and you have my fullest sympathy. They are 100% family-members too. Make the most out of what time you have left with your dog. Nomatter how much you spoil him/her it will never make up for the years of faithfullness though but do your best. They always deserve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skul 0 Posted January 1, 2004 HAPPY NEW YEAR, YOU UGLY LOT! 2004 over here started with friggin' heavy rain! Honestly! It rained for the last few hours of 2003 and 2004 got the remainder... the Earth must have been heavy drinking and was relieving itself! Well at least it's stopped now, though I was soaked when I got home (was at my uncle's for the New Year and had to walk it back! Argh! ) Anyhoo, have a freakin' Happy New Year!

Yeah I know how you feel as well, not sure how to cheer you up though, 12 years is not a terrible age, you would feel much worse if she was 3 or something, at least that's good right. Happy New Year boys.... and I drank in moderation, suckers.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted January 1, 2004 Why don't they let the pope just retire already and live out his remaining few days somewhere comfortable, warm and quiet, it just seems cruel to me that they drag him around to all these places, meeting all these people, when he's clearly barely there anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
