Do 'Grand-pets' count?

Adding to the 4 grand-dogs and 5 grand-ducks owned by my kids, my son has just acquired this.

I believe it's called a horse and we don't eat them (knowingly) on this side of the English Channel. Conversely they do consume money at a high rate of knots.

A horse . My sister and her kids had several. My standard quote is “Gold goes in the front end and gArden fertilizer comes out the other end”.

About that, my Dad said you had to put it in a sack and soak it before you could sue it on roses.
All academic though as 'horse' will live 2 hours from us and thats a long journey with a car full of the stuff.

Barring an over night reversal tomorrow at 8:15 will be Waldo’s last vet business. He isn’t eating and looks like he might be in pain. This is an older picture but the only difference is the blanket isn’t there. He has also lost 26 pounds since September, down to 60.

Twelve years old Boxer, kidney failure, heart murmer leading to a stroke yesterday afternoon. He hadn’t eaten for about a day and a half.

fishlessman · May 13

first brittany went about the same. kidney failure then a hole in the cardial heart sack. the prescription food for kidney failure takes all the life out of them, i will never do that again. sorry for your loss

The first Boxer girl was on that ground up cardboard/food. I refused to subject Waldo to that. Both Waldo and the doodle were eating out of the same pan so separate foods wouldn’t have worked anyway.

DoubleEgger · May 13

Sorry for your loss @Gulfcoastguy. That’s tough.

dbCooper · May 14

@Gulfcoastguy - Condolences to you and family.

ColbyLang · May 14

Sorry for your loss @Gulfcoastguy. Hope you and the doodle are doing ok. The pup will be lost for a minute without his big brother around.

I took Waldo's collar off afterwards. When I got home Nemo smelled it then went to the door smelling and listening for Waldo on the other side. He knew what was happening though. A few hours before the stroke Nemo was licking Waldo a lot. After the stroke Nemo went to the other side of the room and just laid down. He knew Papa Waldo was on the way out. He is very smart which is why I opted for cremation rather than backyard burial, he would have been trying to dig him up.
