I had an early night last night (woodworm in the head I think) so I missed this thread.  It is so sad when we lose a much loved animal  :cry:

makes me wonder sometimes why I keep animals, it breaks my heart everytime one of them goes. :cry:  :cry:

Take comfort in the fact that keeping and loving animals and really caring for them is what makes us the good people we are.  If we are kind and thoughtful to animals [and plants] everything else follows

Slowef,

I am so sorry about your little chick and Sam. It can be so difficult when we lose our pets - they give us so much!
In my next live I would love to come back with  as one of your ducks -I would have a qwacking good  life! xx

[slowef]

[muntjac]

remember you laughed at the things they did ,, now laugh at those same memories

[Jellyhead]

I so agree with Munty on this. Memories to be cherished. Big hugs from me. XX

I am so sorry for you both and feel the pain that your daughter is going through, I have lost other dogs in the past a Dobie and a Visla, but when I lose my  Staffie,I can't bear to think of life without her,  absolutley wonderful dogs .  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Your right Sadgit, I can't imagine how boring life without my animals would be, I too am starting to worry, my German Shepherd "Beau" is 10 years old now, he still follows me around like a little puppy (and acts like one sometimes), but you can see age is catching up with him.I don't think it matter's how much you try and prepare yourself, it still breaks your heart. :cry:

i know a dad who won't let his kids have pets so they wont get up set when "the time comes" how awlful is that! you could have many years of love and fun with them of course its painful but worth all those years with them, (i think he has that out look with people aswell)  
time is a great healer

Lots of sympathy from me, Slowef.  Its never easy losing a pet, whether a new member or older member of the family.  You'll have lots of lovely memories of Sam.  And the poor little chick - there's nothing you can do really with these little critturs that get so poorly so quickly.  Sending some positive vibes to you.
