patterdalejoel 669 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 i was 6 an within weeks every canary we had had died, an his big lurcher lay down an never stood up again, lay there for 2 weeks pissin an shittin itself an pineing ended up took to the vet an they pts, said it was dying slowly of a broken heart, i was young, but do remember, our whole family was fooked up for years, my ole granny has still never recovered burying her 1st born.. but anyways back to the thread, my wife is under strict instructions to have all our dogs/ferrets pts, id want her to put her all into me kids, than fook about way dogs that wouldnt be here if it wasnt for me Why did all the canaries die? i can understand the dog, but surely canaries dont hold attachment like that...... fook knows mate, in fairness my mothers head was up her arse an she knew fook all about em, couldnae find a less petty person if ye tried, she was never bad to anything we had as pets, but it was always a battle to get a pet, she didnae even like plants lol, could have been a disease or wrong feeding or owt, i often wondered what happend to the other stock that wasnt kept at ours, an pigeons an such, but i was a kid then an never asked, an its actually still a sore point to this dayin family an dont get spoke about too often guess i have to agree, if all my animals was left up to my dad i wouldnt hold out much hope..... but if everything was left to my mum they would be ok, id just have obsese chickens she would have to put a few shotgun shells through the ferret hutch before she opened that as well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'd like me dogs to go to people that will give them the work they were bred for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 If im still with my current women when i die .... And i hope i am ... Id die knowing she would look after my dogs better than any other person i can think of. Ive just got in from a quick shine and my bull cross has a couple of little scrapes. While i was sorting out the others she has fed him cleaned his cuts dried him off with an old towel and rugged him up .... The ferrets/birds are a different story though she would be giving them to a friend lol. All the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 My family have a history of dieing young, infact i am living on borrowed time by know, even my kids call me a coffin dodger anyhow back to the dogs, if any of these 3 are still alive when my toes curl for that final time, a very good mate knows what to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaraCroft 863 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 It's sensible to plan ahead. None of my family have the slightest interest in animals, and I wouldn't ask or expect them to deal with them when I die - whenever that may be. I have agreements with one friend to sort the dogs, and another to sort the horses, and I will do the same for them in a similar situation. It's written into my will, so they don't end up at a rescue place. What they choose to do with them is up to them - but I trust them both totally, to do the right thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,766 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 My missus would be glad to get rid of my stock I reckon, 2 of the dogs won't go to anybody though so they'd have a job on their hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He'd gradually scaled back on the birds over the last few years of his life, didn't replace his canaries, finches, lovebirds and cockatiels as they died, etc and when he went all that was left was his budgies. He used to spend a few hours a day in the flights with them, it was nothing to see him sweeping the floor with a few budgies on his shoulders and one right on top of his head, they were so used to him! My uncle used to go round there to feed them and have a quick sweep, but he's the type of bloke who has always got a million things to do - his own family and his chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, etc, and he couldn't dedicate himself to them properly. My nan wasn't up for letting them go, guess she felt if she looked out the window and seen the birds flying about it was like he was still there. He dropped stone dead at 77 while pottering about in the garden tidying a few things up, a shock for us but the way I think I'd like to go rather than waste away gradually or after a long, drawn out illness. Over the next 6 months all the budgies had died.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
