After a god awful week, we had to take both spaniels to the vets, thankfully they are ok, but even worse had to say goodbye to two of our old boy horses, who’ve been with us forever. Just like bigger hairier dogs and just as heart breaking. It has ended with the addition of clemmie and lulu. They are sisters and only 8 weeks old. They are already as big as our smallest spaniel. Dad is a Pyrenean mountain dog, mum is a German shepherd. The other 4 dogs are ok with them, esp the bull mastiff as she’s the matriarch, the cats were originally a little pissy but have all settled down. flic.kr/p/2kYWaHSflic.kr/p/2kYND8R |

Spanners hurt themselves on separate days, first one nearly sliced the carpal pad off the following day her sister jumped a stream landed badly or caught her leg so two separate visits resulting in meds and staples, the horses we had tried to bring them on but one had cushings which is severe diabetes the others suspensory ligaments had gone both meant we had to put them to sleep. I blubbed like a baby watching them go, it was absolutely the right decision and vets don’t just do it. I also absolutely refused to have them shot, I wanted to give them a sense of peace and tranquillity.
Both are being cremated and will be buried in our garden.
The pups are going to be fairly large, and are so bloody cute, this is their first night away from their mum so we are expecting a disturbed night. Joys of being a dog owner.

Aww mate, so sorry to hear you lost two horses. That is so sad. But glad you got some pups. I say 'pups', they look like big dogs already!

Those situations are helped when you are married to a vet. My families horse was in her 30s, heartbreaking but done painlessly with family around her. We too use an animal crem... non of our family members will ever be treated as clinical waste... Young dogs look ace!! 8 weeks old? Jeeezus! hope they eat you out of house and home!  Glad they are settled...tis always a worry at first.  |
