Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 22, 2018 So way back when I got married and like the Brady Bunch we each brought a dog into the relationship. Mine died 2004. So 13+ years ago my then wife's dog died, and I laid down the law 'no new dogs' for a while cuz we can't travel etc. Which meant two days later we had a lab-shepherd mix named Ruby. Ex-wife posted that Ruby died yesterday, 13+ years. She was a good girl -- dog wasn't bad either. Anyway, Ruby the Thug as I called her had a good run. RIP.

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted June 21, 2018 Here’s something a happy thing for this thread for a change: My grandparents (the ones that I stay at on my vacation) owned a dog for six years. Neither of them really want him, so our family is now getting him. His name is Scamp, and he’s a very lovely dog. Here’s a picture of him (and yes, that is my hand petting him). 10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted July 14, 2018 Catsitting today. I'm a dog person and know nothing about cats. This purrty cat looks like it's planning my 'accidental death', but the fact we're in the same room makes me feel like I've done something right... right? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted August 21, 2018 One my family’s cats was found dead today. Not really surprising as he has been pretty frail as of late and he was pretty old, but still a sad loss nonetheless. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While he never was the greatest listener, I now have to go up close in order for him to listen to me, which was even unusual for. Besides that and being a little frail, he's doing okay at the moment And now he’s gone. Lived a good long life though... 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,977 Posted October 2, 2019 Said goodbye to my old guinea pig tonight. He had a wonderful 7 and a half years but his health was declining in recent weeks, and he took a drastic downturn today. I knew it was going to happen in the near future - 7 and a half is very old for a guinea pig - but they go down so quickly that it hits real hard when it actually happens. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 734 Posted October 12, 2021 Our cat passed away this morning, 17 years old. First couple of years we barely saw her since she was always off on adventures and catching all sorts of animals. As she grew older she began to appreciate the luxuries of life indoors more and more, often allowed to stay inside during the evenings. Last month she had her 17th birthday and although she had some problems such as weight loss, I could still see her reach 18, let alone 2022. The last couple of days she went downhill quickly, not running anymore, eating less and often failing at jumping. Mom found her this morning, laying peacefully in her blanket. Only "good" I can think of is that she didn't suffer needlessly and we didn't have to let the vet put her down. She will be deeply missed, RIP Lisa 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,141 Posted October 12, 2021 Sad for you, but lovely that she chose when to go, and spared you that horrible decision. That doesn't seem to happen very often. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
