He's still a bit groggy but he's home Hopefully the insurers will contribute towards today's £1300 bill!

ThorntonRunner Jun 2023 10:33pm, 15 Jun 2023 6,776 posts	0 ThorntonRunner In among everything else today was this, both sad and beautiful. There used to be a couple in the village with a small elderly dog Lottie that we'd sometimes bump into. Our Shih Tzu cross Frankie and Lottie really got on. If they saw each other from a distance they'd strain their leads to greet each other. Last year they moved to the same retirement retirement village as my mum, so we still see them occasionally. Last week we saw them and it was clear that Lottie wasn't well. When I got home today there was an envelope addressed to Frankie and a small bag of dog treats on the doorstep. The envelope contained a card with a drawing of a small dog and inside it just said "Frankie, forget me not, Lottie xx". When I spoke to my mum this evening she confirmed that Lottie had died on Tuesday.

stilldreaming Jun 2023 9:54am, 16 Jun 2023 1,195 posts	0 stilldreaming My dog (golden retriever) is driving me mad today barking at helicopters and planes! She only does this when we're at home and is happy to bark at jets that are mere dots in the sky! We aren't too far from Birmingham and East Midlands airports, so there's plenty to keep her entertained. I have no idea why she has started doing this (protecting her patch?), but she could be up for rehoming if she doesn't pack it in soon (Not really, obvs ).
Derby Tup Jun 2023 9:59am, 16 Jun 2023 59,875 posts	0 Derby Tup Our Tuss has osteo arthritis and hip dysplasia. He'll be on meds for the rest of his life, will need to lose weight (he's not fat) and will be on restricted exercise, again for rest of his life. Hip replacement surgery is a possibility, but for the future. He's currently away at friends. I am gutted
