Time is about up.

For my border collie. Getting so he has lost ambition. He is about 15 now. Called my son-in-law. Hog farm manager. He will get me a bottle of Stresnil. Just in case he gets too bad and has t be put to sleep. Do not want to see him suffer. In the meantime he is now getting 10 drops of cannabis oil twice a day in a snack. Daughter makes it. Seems to help him. Well time off for me now. Fingers have done the walking!!

Some of the saddest times of my life when losing a faithful for legged friend, got by thinking of the good times helps but I never ever forget the times we shared.

Regards.

yes indeed always difficult saying goodbye to an old freind absolutely heartbreaking ...15 is a good age though ours is 11 hope she gets to 15 our spike was only 9 when he passed ....hope the oil makes the collie comfy hal atb

True etc Misty often sit out in the yard here talking to our old faithful dog Ebony as such, who in some ways now is happily buried under our lemon tree.

He is looking better and moving better. Oil is working! Arthritis seems less. What the oil is used for by my son-in-law anyway. Still cannot go down the back steps so he goes out of the front door. Not so steep.

Tugs at the old heart strings eh Hal.

Yes Boosey. Thought I was long past that. Nope! This heat is not doing him any good. He loves the snow. My other old dog, 16, Aussie heeler cross, looks like a coyote, thrives in this weather. Has warts and other stuff, old age. Mastiffs are OK with heat or cold. Within reason.
3 dogs talking. Rottweiler says " when God made me he said I was the biggest and strongest dog on the planet!"
German Shepherd said "When God made me he said I was the most noble and intelligent dog on earth!"
The Mastiff said "I do not remember saying those things..."
