Steve (sdh2903) Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Sadly we had to say goodbye to our Labrador Oscar today. We've had him since he turned 8 weeks old and he finally succumbed to the usual Labrador arthritic hips and elbows at the ripe old age of 13. It's amazing just how much your pets become one of the family. We are all gutted, the kids especially as they have never known the house without him in it. Feel like I've lost my right-hand man Rest easy buddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olliebeak Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Sorry to hear about your pet, I know how you feel I have had German Shepherds in the past which have succumbed to similar problems. I now have Ollie the Yorky who came from an old lady who had to go into a residential home. He is fourteen but still full of beans, not keen on the Westie hunkers down in the passenger seat out of the wind, he was worse when I had the aeroscreen.

TAFKARM Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Really sorry to hear this. I lost my best mate in September and it's awful, but hopefully gets better with time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Understand your loss which none dog owners will not get. We had to have our Springer Spaniel (Spax) put down two years ago on Christmas eve after a good innings, but the hurt did ruin Christmas. As others have said remember the good times.

Murraymint Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 sorry to hear your news, we lost out husky last year...big part of the family indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 So sorry to read this. Pets do become such a big part of the family that it does really feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself when they pass away. Time helps soften the blow a little.

RIP oscar I'd echo that completely Steve, my Bearded Collie is approaching 9 now and I cant think what I/we would do without him, although he obviously drives us all mad, even the cat. Sad day, all our best thoughts for you and the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve (sdh2903) Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Cheers chaps for all the kind words. @Thrustyjust those 2 look poised for trouble on that sofa! Especially the young un. @Olliebeak a yorkie somehow "suits" a Westfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Sorry for your loss and pain, which we all know is part of the package but doesn’t dampen the traumatic blow. Hope you’re able to give another dog a happy and loving home very soon while remembering all the happy times you had with Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
