Soory Claire
Having a bad day - emotions n all that.
Just written a long life history of my boys ( horses) to the owenr of the yard where they have gone into retirement locally to you.
It's made me all sad - my contract with them was for life and I feel i'm letting them down :(
I know its not right to expect them to travel around the world at their grand old ages but still its' made me very sad to have to leave them behind.
Arggghhh !!!!

hi Lin,

so sorry u `ve had a low day. i can imagine how hard it is.(our cat is nearly 18yrs. ,and we feel the same, especially at her age too. the yourney would kill her, so she`s off to my mums) people say that doing what we are doing is very stressful, even to the fact that leaving those loved ones is like a berreavement?
i`m sure they will have a lovely long life retirement:thumbup:
and if/when u return to visit, u could go see them??
