Tam's old Deutscher Schäferhund has died at the grand old age of 12. Bless him.



Poor Saxon. He had a tumour that ruptured, and so he was put to sleep. I got a text from Tam on Monday and I cried lots. I've known him since he was a tiny pupple, when he and my dogs Pippa and Macca used to play together. One less good dog in the world. Run free, dude.

Yesterday I pet-taxi'd a couple and their dog Muttley to the vet, and it turned out that he'd had a stroke. If he's shown no sign of improvement by tomorrow, he has to go back and be put to sleep... and I'll have to take him. I've only known him for fifteen minutes but it still breaks my heart. Damn dogs. They say 'a dog is for life', but 12-14 years is just not long enough.

It really isn't. 15 wasn't enough with my pup-sisters.

Awww your icon... :'(
It's too sad. The heartbreak doesn't quite stop me wanting to get to know dogs though, hehe. My nan wouldn't get another one after she lost her old mongrel, even now, I reckon it's at least 16 years later? :(

Awwww my Saxon DakDak boi. Still miss him sooo much. In fact I still cry when I miss his big ole bear face and his loving bites and his nice hairy smell and the way his big shoulders felt when you huggled up to him with your head on his back and the way he knew if you didn't like someone, all telepathic like and did everything to protect you from that particular tw*t. In fact, I has tears now....enough remembering the one and only best boy for now ;'(
