Naggie you are right. If anything it gets harder; I've sat, today, and reminisced about them all, dogs, cats, a mouse called Jemiima, even two gold fish To and Fro; all different characters, even thegoldfish. Your heartbreak,Filthy, has remindered of the good times with them all. Often an animal know when It is 'time to die'. which reminds me of a friend of ours elderly border terrier, which suddenly, and very unusually went missing. Another neighbours dog, a german pointer, Henry by name daft by nature, was called in to find her. He did very quickly barking at a large pile of leaves. She'd gone there to die. We retrieveed still alive and seemingly in reasonable health. Her owner found her dead on the door mat the following morning. After a few weeks we got him a spaniador, Rex, a spaniel/ lab cross, the best ratter I've known which we inherited who died about 10 years. Your heartbreak Fifthy has brought make many wonderful, albeit tearful memories to me. Thank you, thank you, if it any consolation, thank you.
