    Chriso, many of us know how you feel to loose your ole mate Mac
    , hopefully with these posts we can try and lesson the grief for even a small time. 

    Like many others, my wife and I have no billy lids, so Rueben our Australian Kelpie is treated like royalty, I dread the day we lose him.

    Sorry for your loss mate, I too am a mad keen animal lover and nothing will replace them ever.  
    I believe in the Rainbow Bridge, have a read.

    It is a bit surprising that no one has written an "International Bestseller" about dogs.
    Got a few hilarious stories about em myself and am sure everyone else does too.

    f it should be, that I grow frail and weak,
    And pain should keep me from my sleep,
    Then, you must do what must be done
    For this, the last battle can't be won.
     
    You will be sad, I understand
    Don't let your grief then stay your hand,
    For this day, more than the rest,
    Your love and friendship stand the test.
     
    We've had so many happy years,
    What is to come can hold no fears,
    You'd not want me to suffer, so,
    When the time comes, please let me go.
     
    Take me where my need they'll tend,
    Only, stay with me to the end,
    And hold me firm and speak to me,
    Until my eyes no longer see.
     
    I know, in time you will see,
    It is a kindness you do to me
    Although my tail its last has waved,
    From pain and suffering I've been saved.
     
    Don't grieve it should be you,
    Who decides this thing to do,
    We've been so close, we two, these years,
    Don't let your heart hold any tears.
    Smile, for we walked together,
    for a little while

    Sorry to hear chriso, Mac looked like a beauty.

    They're our best mates and the loss is always hard to take.

    These 2 are out the back on the property with a nice plant/tree atop of them, will always be remembered.

    This is Mason, my work buddy he's 15 and an old fart for sure.  This is him last winter not looking impressed but at least warm.  Dogs are awesome..

    This was our old girl Gi Gi, who lived to a rip old age of 13 years. That is 3 years older than French Bulldogs are supposed to live for.

    Well done B. They are a great little pocket dog. Love to get held and will happily mooch around the house without too much exercise. Post some pics of him. Cheers

    Geez Chriso. I'm sorry to hear about Mac. 
    Why am I not surprised that the rest of you blokes are just as soft as I am over our little (and big) furry family members.

    Sadly our little friends don't live long enough.

    Oh yeah, and I have four little rescue and reject girls now. They want for nothing and I give up things for them.

    You blokes crack me up!

    Here's me thinkin'everyone here would have pig dogs & pit bulls, the type of dogs that need a studded collar and chest protector, muzzled in public.

    But nah, everyones got pretty little lap dogs instead....... seriously?
