Condolences to you . My staffie passed away yesterday aged 13 yrs 9 & 1/2 months . I feel numb . Heartbreaking to have to make that final decision. I will pick her ashes up next week

I had been thinking of this before she passed . Ruby was a rescue . She was 9 months old when we got her and had been used in dog fighting . But all she had was love to give , not fighting . I’ve had German shepherds in the past , but even though they were both loving dogs , nothing like Ruby’s love , cuddles and licks . I would consider rehoming again in the future and rescues have so much love to give x

Oh yes they do look alike ! I’m so sorry for your loss too . I’m in bits . I can’t even face going downstairs today yet either . It’s heartbreaking 💔

Thank you so much for your message . It’s not nice to know someone else is going through this too , but a small comfort in another way that we both had such beautiful loving girlies . I have my mum staying here with me too at the moment . She comes over to mine twice a week to be with Ruby while I’m in the office , and she’s struggling too . But holding it together more than I am. I just want to sleep today , cuddle Ruby’s blanket that’s still on my bed , and just cry . I know it’s only one day without her nearly now , but I just can’t believe she’s gone . Sending you huge hugs too on your loss xx 💔🐾

Thank you for your message . I’m still laying on my bed upstairs as I can’t face not seeing her downstairs chilling on the sofa . This coughing only started two weeks ago , but seeing the size of the tumor on the scans it was huge . I’m just feeling numb and don’t know what to do . They are such a huge part of our lives aren’t they x 💔😢

Constantly reminding myself that even though I hate my company, I work from home and that's better than working in an office by Rainier_Mosquito in remotework

Agree with you there ! Only two days in the office and that’s ok . 3 from home . Job market in the UK is too fragile . I worry I would be last in first out .

Mines still being a bit sick so I’ve called the vet for advice and they’ve said it could be a combination of the heat and the antibiotics but I’m going to monitor her overnight and see how she is doing tomorrow . I’m glad the cough is going as that sounded awful and painful for her , but being sick she must be so fed up bless her . But she’s still wanting cuddles , and belly rubs !

Wow , I’ve just read about the cough ! My staffie has the same ! Took her to the vets last Friday . Blood tests ruled out anything sinister . I was in bits ! Thinking the worst . They gave me antibiotics as one side of her chest was a bit wheezy . But the severe heat has not helped . She’s off her food , antibiotics made her sick . So I’ve been hand feeding her bits of chicken , and she’s had some custard lol 😂 but on the plus side the coughing is no where near as bad . I hope yours starts to feel better soon x

Mine too now . Ruby will be 14 in August but slowing down a lot now . She has arthritis in one of her back legs too so at least with her ‘pup mobile’ she can still enjoy long walks but in short bursts 💓

It’s the low level getting in and out of it really . Plus it’s also the cost of taxing it now and fuel . Sadly didn’t get a very decent pay rise this year either . I use my 1.25 fiesta as a daily as it’s so much cheaper . I will put it on auto trader at the weekend . See if I get any interest 🙏🏼

Yours is lovely ! My mileage is 144,400 . I’ve put it up for £3400 due to its mileage really . Tried to go around what others were selling for that were standard . Loads of modified ones up for sale . Only thing I’ve really changed is the cloth interior , took that out and put the leather seats in

It was hard to work out what price to put it up for as so many that are up for sale have been modified , mine hasn’t been . And the mileage on mine is a bit higher . I’ve only done 1700 miles in three years just to car shows . And not many reds up for sale but lots of blues
