[Goodbye old pal.]

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,

And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then will you do what must be done,

For this, the last battle, can't be won.

 

You will be sad I understand,

But don't let grief then stay your hand,

For on this day, more than the rest,

Your love and friendship must stand the test.

 

We have had so many happy years,

You wouldn't want me to suffer so.

When the time comes, please, let me go.

 

Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

Only, stay with me till the end

 

And hold me firm and speak to me,

Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree,

It is a kindness you do to me.

 

Although my tail its last has waved,

From pain and suffering I have been saved.

 

Don't grieve that it must be you,

Who has to decide this thing to do;

We've been so close,we two, these years,

Don't let your heart hold any tears.

 

 

That is lovely and made me cry.

he was put on a heart monitor , but was told that was ok

24 hr later a second bloods was taken , it was normal even the potasium

could well be ferts it does border rape , peas, and barley at the moment

i think we'll stay clear of the area for a bit

Good better a one off incident than an underlying medical issue.

[Feeding flaked peas ?]

Always thought they were carnivores ( look at their teeth ) but yes they will eat fruit etc at times.

No they are classified as omnivores. Cats classified as carnivores but our old Tom used to like rich fruit cake and bananas!

[Feeding flaked peas ?]

Dogs are omnivores - they like plant matter - wild dogs eat lots of vegetation and berries.

Sometimes it is due to kidney function or lack of it - potassium levels are disrupted because toxins cannot be got rid of as quickly. Hopefully nothing as serious as that but can cause all sorts of problems if it continues - affecting the heart as well. I am surprised the vet did not want him to return for a re-test to see if levels sort themselves out.

It does not necessarily have to be something introduced into their system i.e. eating grass from a recently sprayed field. There are diseases which they can have which affect the potassium levels in their bodies.

I'm in Pinner, where do you shoot clays?

We go all over the place including Horne, Hornet, Westfield, Wyle, Weston Wood, Longridge, Valley View, Kegworth, Dartford, Southdown, Gunsite, The Shooting Club and more. when we go to Wales we like to go to South Wales 2000, Griffin Lloyd. when we want to go on a Saturday then we go up to AC Sporting which is local.

Thank you all for the welcome.
