Loungers' Pets

[KilroyCD]

Sadly, my beloved English Springer Spaniel "Shawnee" passed suddenly on Sunday evening. Without having a necropsy performed I'll never know the cause, but my vet seems to think it was either a blood clot or stroke. She was almost 13 1/2 years old, and was my "Christmas Girl", having been born on Christmas day. I'll miss the "happy dance" she would do when I would get home from work, the way she would jump up on the bed and snuggle with me at night and that smiling, happy face she had. She was a total love bug. Here are a couple of photos I took of her last November when I brought home my newest adoption, "Hunter". Hunter is confused, looking for his friend and not able to find her. It's so sad...

They are such loyal, true friends. Sorry for your loss & Hunter's. All the best...

I echo Tom's sentiments, she is gone but obviously will not be forgotten.

Kilroy, it's heartbreaking, I know, I really do share your pain. But the grief, for me at least, is worth it for the joy and happiness that our pets bring to our lives. Shawnee waits for you at Rainbow Bridge.

I echo the sentiments of everyone else Kilroy.
Very sorry to hear about your loss.

 

[KilroyCD]

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts. It was especially hard losing her because I still wasn't over losing another of my beloved Springers less than eight months prior. Thankfully I still have my big buddy "Hunter", who did his best to impersonate Shawnee's "Happy Dance" when I got home from work this evening. It really put a smile on my face.

So sorry Kilroy. Sleep in peace, Shawnee.

 

[DesertDan]

My condolences also Kilroy.

My sincere sympathies. I have had and lost 4 collies over the years and my 5th one is pushing 12 so I know it won't long. I'm getting too old for a puppy so the next one will likely be a rescue. Again so sorry.

My heartfelt sympathy to you, Kilroy. She obviously loved being with you as much as you loved her.

If you had 2 cats, you wouldn't have a sandwich.
My 2 dogs have learned (years ago) to work together to achieve a goal, by creating a distraction while the other one does the work.
One works to get into the trash (for leftovers), and the other works to get paper towels.
To each her own...

H*ll yes it does!! There must be $5 worth of meat on that thing. If you didn't share, I'd be sleeping with one eye open if I were you.

I'm waiting for part 2 of this photo Harv......

 

[1mach1]

LOL. Part 2 was him making off with a bite. When I was trying to snap another photo, he made his move. Sometimes I forget that he is a cat.

Last week big limb fell on the old cabin on the place. So one of my tom's (this one goes by the moniker "Ol'Puss") decided to scout things out!

 

[1mach1]

Nice pic! Ol' Puss is a big boy!

Our Bedlington in one of her favorite positions, doing one of her favorite activities...SLEEPING!

Another one with her sister, and this time she's actually awake.

I make jokes about her, but the Bedlie will go from a deep sleep to action mode in a second, literally.
Whether it's a noise in the house/outside, or her "mama" gets up to leave the room, she can go from the position in the first pic, to being at the door almost immediately. The Heeler on the other hand is a light sleeper, most often checking on everyone else in the room from time to time, sort of like "making rounds." That's her job, and we let her do it. Her other job is herding the Bedlie to us, so we don't have to go all over the house looking for her. Once the flock is complete, we put up a child gate to prevent any further escapes.
