I Have an 11 year old Boxer who was born on valentines day, We were told that he wouldn't live past 7 because of the problems that he had when he was young, cost us £7000 in vet bills before he was 2, thankfully he was insured. So every day now is like a blessing as he has done 4 and half years over.
I used to have 3 cats, Tamsin, Misty and Fistra. Sadly they are no longer with us, Tamsin I lost to the road when she was 9 and Misty who was her son I lost when he was 15 again to the road. 2 Years ago I lost Fistra who was 17 but this time to cancer, he had it in his eye when he was 12 which we had removed but it ended up spreading and he had a massive tumour in his gut so I had to make the decision to let him go. He was just so thin at the end but purred and loved a fuss all the time still. Broke my heart.
Hubby wont let me have any more cats, but I miss them something chronic, Im a cat girl at heart always have been and always will be.
I also have 2 fish tanks with platties which I breed there is noting I like better that sitting down after a hard day and watch the tank, mch more intresting that the T.V.
