That's the only problem with having a pet, you get so attached to them that when they do go it's heartbreaking. I think it's even harder when you have to make the decision to let them go cos of ill health. I've been through it twice in 4 years and it still hurts now

I totally understand that Na, I am sooo attached to my babies, they are young and I hope I will have many happy years with them.

I'm dreading the day when Jas goes but hopefully that won't be for a few years yet

People at work dont understand how attached I am - some of the girls say "it's only a cat" !!!!!

If I ever have to take them to the vet I have to tell a white lie and say that I am ill myself - they would never understand why I have to take time off work!

Same here. Paul understands how I feel and when we had to have Tam pts he cried aswell.

Normally Paul will say 'Oh for goodness sake it's only a dog'but losing Tam really hurt him

I broke my heart when Sam was PTS. It took ages to get over and for months after I kept expecting him to come through the cat flap.

Unless you are a pet lover no-one can understand how much it hurts to lose them.

I often feel that taking them to the vet is almost as bad as having to go to the doctor yourself!

It's so nice to actually chat to people who feel as passionate about their animals as i do - my OH likes them but not like me! my mum is the same as me, but I think you lot are as nuts as me about your babies!!!

Too right we are! 'Other' people don't know what they are missing do they!

Mags · 13-01-2005, 08:26 PM

My OH has often said I think more of Cassie than I do of him

And sometimes he's right!!

Oh my god Mags that is exactly what Simon says!!!!
