Hi Mypineapple,

I can understand that today was hard. I am going to read your message later. I went to your profile before and tried to send you a friend request but it didn't work. it used to be possible but maybe they have taken this feature away?

Love Mel

Hi Allison and everyone

Chilli is my golden Labrador, Rob's sole mate, Chilli hasn't been well of late, I am keeping him going. He is 13 1/2 and has arthritis, with 2 visits to the vets and 2 lots of steriods I do fear the worst.  love Donna x

Oh he’s Precious. 
I had a cat, called Precious actually! She found me! As cats seem to do but I fell in love with her. Lost her Oct 2019. Then when Dave moved in 21 months ago he brought his dog Lucy (hienz 57) she wad 16!! We had to have her put down Oct 2020! 

I’ve been wanting a cat or dog ever since but we were being sensible taking our time to decide, plus Dave wanted a dog and a medium to large one but as we live (or I now do) in a terrace cottage I’d rather a wee dog! On the day I went to get him from the hospital with the news of nothing can be done only palliative care, he said to my sister “get her something furry!” ...he always cheered me up when I was down with a trip to a petting zoo or sending me adorable kitten & puppy pics. 
I know I will get something but don’t feel I can yet. Need to prove I can look after myself first!! 

I hope Chilli (ace name) can he with you comfortably for a while yet. Losing a beloved pet is hard! 
Thank you for the picture, certainly brightened my evening.

Hi Allison, 

That's such a nice story!  My username was the nickname my wife called me,  no one else ever called me that and it was the first thing that came to mind when prompted.  I guess it just felt right to use it and I miss hearing it a lot. 

Anyway,  I'm Carl and it's lovely to meet everyone here and be part of it.   It's taken me almost six months to join,  but I guess we all do things in our own time and in different orders. 

Hi Carl 

Yes, we are all different and grief differently. That’s the beauty of this site, no pressure. 

I called myself Sausagedog because I have one! No surprises there! He’s 13 and has arthritis etc, been a regular visitor to the vets lately and he refuses to go on walks but he is good company. 
My name is Amanda, hello all xx

Hello Amanda! :) 

I was just sat in my car before looking at someone walking by with a sausage dog and thought how utterly gorgeous it was. I am definitely going to get a cat or dog again at some stage. I just need to be fit to look after myself first! x
