[shaneystar2]

Have a lovely holiday Jno ..don't forget to send us a postcard !
Safe journey.

No snow today Robinia but still jolly cold.What we had yesterday has all gone.
Sorry to about poor Willum Gessoo I hope he will be O.K.
You are very welcome to this diet sheet ! My total of food so far today equals one bowl of porridge and a banana.Quite honestly I could eat a scabby eyed monkey at the moment.But..I am really looking forward to my dinner which consists of sardines and salad.This is grim folks!!

I see they have cleared the road of beer now Vinny ..I just spotted you disappearing into the distance with a loaded donkey cart !
At least I look a bit more respectable now after a good haircut.!
My Mothers last words to me were "For goodness sake do something with that hair,you look as if you've had a fright"
Bless her ..I got all the way home to London and as I walked in the door the phone rang and my brother told me she had passed away.
Well I am off to have a cup of black coffee to try and stave off the hunger pangs !
Please don't mention bread ,buns or booze !

Hi Jude - sorry about the mess in here I'm having a clumsy day

d'ough

[gessoo]

We had to have pussy cat William put to sleep an hour ago. He had kidney failure and it was the kindest thing to do. He was born virtually blind and had neurological problems all his life, but nevertheless enjoyed his life and wanted for nothing. He was 13 and we never expected he would live more than a couple of years. He was such a character.

He was put to sleep whilst being cuddled by MrG who was William's favourite person in the world. I was also there to talk to him and stroke him. The vet gave us a room and said we could have as much time as we liked with him. Poor little Willie RIP.

[gessoo]

jno - I hope I have caught you before your holiday.

Have a really wonderful time. We will miss you:

Happy Holiday!

[Robinia]

Oh gesso that's so sad, I'm so sorry you've lost him but you gave a long and happy life. Night night William. x

[netibiza]

Oh gessoo my favorite cat Cfer had kidney trouble and finally we had to put her down - she looked dreadfully dirty and skinny as she wouldn't eat her special food, but it took 3 injections before she gave up. I was cuddling her all the time and crying my eyes out, We buried her with my slippers as she'd loved sleeping on them, but much as we loved her, we had to let her go,

Good luck.

For Gessoo

[Jude123]

Gessoo I know just how you are feeling I had to leave my pet dog because he was so ill. He was 16 and he was born in this house. It was so sad. x

[Jude123]

Hi Robinia Don't worry about the mess in here. I'm off 'til Weds. and you know how like cleaing up. :o)

[Jude123]

Even cleaning !

[gessoo]

Thank you all so much. We do still have two dogs and two cats, but every one of them is very special. William was the Grandad of the bunch, bless him. He loved to sleep in a funny position with his head tucked under and also did forward rolls, just like a human, tucking his head in. I have been looking at photos. Here he is asleep.

Can't work this evening as my work involves the telephone and I just can't bring myself to talk to anybody. Am I being silly, some people would say that it's only a cat, but he was a member of our little family?

[Jude123]

Gessoo Don't worry what other people might say. I missed my Shep very much and used to come downstairs in the morning and find myself opening the door to let him out...and he wasn't there. I just consoled myself by saying he wasn't suffering anymore.

[gessoo]

Thanks Jude xxxx

Have a nice weekend Biddies. See you Monday. Am drinking a Southern Comfort - medicinal purposes you understand!!

[Robinia]

Oh bless, that's a lovely pic gessoo. Of course you're not being silly, you'd have to be made of stone not to be upset by the loss of a much loved pet. I still miss my previous dog and he's been gone for 8 yrs & I have another one as you know. I was even upset when a special blackbird who had come to the window sill for over 3 yrs for currants met his demise last year. (However, I now have four of them - they must be his offspring, he was one for the ladies, the little devil!!)

[VINNY100_2]

gessoo Im so sorry you lost william.give all your other pet's a big hug from me..xx

If it should be that I grow weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done,
for this last battle cannot be won.

You will be sad, I understand.
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so.
The time has come, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
and please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see,
the kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
from pain and suffering I've been saved.

Please do not grieve it must be you
who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years.
Don't let your heart hold back its tears:RIP William.

[gessoo]

Bless you Vinny. That's so lovely xxxxxx
