Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 4, 2013 Moderators Posted July 4, 2013 Well this is fucking heartbreaking isn't it? Really sorry for your loss. Don't think you should feel in any rush to do anything with the ashes that you're not sure about. Quote
Paid Members Kookoocachu Posted July 4, 2013 Paid Members Posted July 4, 2013 Oh no not Horton I am so so sorry. looking over those pictures made me well up, that dog ruled. Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted July 4, 2013 Paid Members Posted July 4, 2013 Genuinely gutted for you mate, Not much worse than losing a dog. When I had my dog put down he was 17. it was weird little things that got to me, like how used I had got to the constant noise a dog makes (We had wooden floors in our house and I could tell exactly what room the dog was in, and it was also a constant reminder that the little shit needed his claws clipping, it was like having Lionel Blair in the house sometimes.) I held on to the ashes for a few weeks but eventually we just scattered them in the park we used to walk him in. There was a pond he used to swim in and annoy the swans until they ganged up on him and chased him out so we scattered them in there as a final Fuck You to the bastards. I still haven't got round to getting another dog, just doesn't seem right for some reason. Quote
windoesnot Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Very sorry to hear about your loss Philo, its heart-breaking when your dog, who is as much a member of the family as anyone else, dies. Our last dog's ashes are in an urn at my parents house, that way he's still with them. All the best! Quote
Loki Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Commiserations Philo, to be away as well is doubly gutting. I've buried a fair few cats in the garden in my time, and whilst it's obviously upsetting, it's also very cathartic and then you know where their grave is and they are nearby. I wouldn't leave it too long before getting another dog. They'll never replace Horton, but there are just so many dogs out there looking for a home and a family like yours. You'll love them as much as Horton, just in a completely different way. Quote
Paid Members quote the raven Posted July 4, 2013 Paid Members Posted July 4, 2013 Another one to add to the Commiserations. Quote

Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 5, 2013 Moderators Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Horton made me think about mine. Dog is 9 now, and she's still gorgeous. Cat wankers wouldn't understand as they're dicks. Dog is still gorgeous though. Next heat I'm going to allow a shag as well,if anyone wants a Jack Russell. Great dogs.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted July 31, 2013 Paid Members Posted July 31, 2013 I'd love to get another cat, but living just off a double carriageway, I'd just be worried all the time. My dog loves cats, so it's a shame really. Quote
jimufctna24 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) A bit late, but my condolences to Philio Vance, really tugged my heart strings that post. Though by Butch's definition I am a "cat wanker" Edited July 31, 2013 by jimufctna24 Quote
