A sad moment of life :(

[Wilmslow]

Mum called me last night – her 12 and a half year old rickety lovely gentleman of a flatcoat had to be put down at the vets.

While I am sad, I am happy that there was no suffering for the dog, and great dealt with at the vets, but very worried about my mum – cannot be nice living alone (widowed) having to clear away his things like bowl and bed.

Amazing how a pet really is part of the family.

Think I may pop round with some flowers tonight.

Why not get her a puppy or does she not wish to have another dog ?

Forget the flowers. Buy her a puppy, a labradoodle and call it Biscuit.

Forget the puppy, buy her a biscuit and call it flowers.

HTH

If you are buying a puppy, what are the chances it will out live your mum? Do you think she has up to 15 years left in her?

Ouch!

Too soon.

Let her make the decision.

Flowers - A good idea. What are you going to do when they die...

No no no - forget the dog, and the flowers - buy her a cruise!!!! For the first time in years she's free to travel - get her booked up on a OAP's trecking adventure or something - ideally one where a lot of people are single.

It'll give her a new lease of life!!

And also, stop posting on here and actualy get yourself over to her house to help her with the dog's stuff!

lets review the evidence here.

does she like flowers ? -unproven
does she like biscuits ? -unknown
does she like cruises ? - unknown
does she like Wilmslow ? - who does


ergo, ipso facto - buy her a puppy
