Just give it a rest...

I'm sure that's what she's thinking.

This is carli, our 12 year old. We're told she won't be with us much longer.

Very sorry to hear that. The time that we are lucky enough to have with them, never seems long enough.

Give her an extra hug from all of us. Nice pic.

Some dogs don't wanna 'go' and live longer and longer.

Our dog was so old and doddery, we knew we'd see him killed on the road sooner or later because he was a traffic hazard. Well, the decision was made to put him to sleep at the local dog pound. You say goodbye... you get your receipt and you walk away. Sad time. "He'll be done in the morning when the vet comes..."

About 2 weeks later you hear scratching at the back door. "Who's dog's outside at this time of night?" You open the door --- and there's your old diggedy dawg again, looking like he's been having a great old time for 2 weeks running the streets. Filthy and deadbeat, and more than a bit hungry!

We worked out it was about 15 miles as the crow flies, all suburbia, yet he was too past it to properly see cars or hear 'em!

Now if the pound had rung us when the dog escaped - good effort for a half dead dog I reckon - we could have looked for him. But no-one had said anything. Can you imagine how we all felt?

And thats the story of how we got a refund at the pound. (King George Cocker Spaniel)

Very sorry to hear it. She does look old in the picture, and 12 years is a long time for a large dog like her to live. Cherish every day you get to have with her!
