British Expats - Random stuff - the anything else thread

My thoughts are with you today. A month ago we had arrananged for the vet to come to the house as our little guy was obviously failing and we wanted him to pass at his home. He was 18 years old. However he beat the vet to it by going into his bed and quietly passing away. We miss him desperately.

Thanks again for your kind words. Henry fell asleep in my arms. He is no longer in pain, I take comfort from that. I'm gonna mis him so very much.

Madeley with his finger on the pulse again, this was reported on March 15th.

Or maybe he's simply been catching up on some TV recordings.

Have I Got News For You recently had the superb Andy Hamilton referring to someone speaking "Trumpish"; Ian Hislop - I think it was - interrupted asking what he meant by "Trumpish", and Hamilton replied "It's like English, but with all the meaning taken out". :lol:

Thank you all. I will be with him as he passes, it's the least I can do. He has been an amazing friend and I couldn't have had a better dog. Not looking forward to tomorrow at all.

:(

He had the best of people.

Sorry, badly put on my part. The interview may have been recent, but the original idiot comment was made March 15th, reported by the BBC.

My condolences. When the vet said there would be no point in taking Charlie home all I could think was that if I'd known I would have shampooed him. It was terrible to be holding a soon-to-be-euthanized dog who was a tangled mess.

One of the deciding factors was the fact that he couldn't stand for grooming, even me brushing him at home was painful for him. I brought his ashes home today. I've been a mess, it hit home that my fluff pups has gone last night, until then the Stiff Upper Lip was working quite well, failing miserably today.

I think I cried every day for about 2 years; I'd see dogshit in the road and burst into tears. I know what you're going through. It's a long time to be best friends.
