I'm not saying it's small but @AFKABartram can fit in thatT_C_E said:Bought what was described as a “Extra Large dog bath”
and I’ve spotted a problem! 😂
Seriously I didn’t buy it for that purpose but it did make me laugh at how many people bought one without checking the sizes 😂😂 which incidentally are 30” x 18”

Absolutely heartbroken to have lost our boy Sidney today! Was fine til yesterday even breaking into a little jog, as lately his legs sometimes seemed to have a mind of their own. But was unable to get himself up this morning and despite help could not stand. The vet tried a variety of meds but to no avail as seemed to be a neurological issue and were left with no option but to let him go 😢
after 14 years of being the best dog anyone could possibly wish for our lives will be very much poorer without him.RIP Sidney 🐾🐾💔

So sorry for your loss.
Run Free Sidney x6 -
I have every sympathy for your loss. He looks like a proper dog too, just the sort I'd go for. But 14 years is good going, and I'm sure you gave him a great life. At least it doesn't sound as though he suffered, but he will leave a massive void. Bless you, Sidney, RIP.3

Necropost, I know - but I regularly leave my cats for a few days. Automatic feeder takes care of their grub, and a neighbour pops in once a day to give them a wet feed. They come and go as they please and barely even notice I'm not there - which pretty much sums up what they do most of the time when I AM there 😏Rizzo said:
That's the good thing about cats. You can leave them all day and they don't give a fcuk, although they put on an Oscar-winning performance of "I nearly died of starvation" when you get back home.T_C_E said:
Ours are never left more than two, even then I can see them on camera and obviously they have company.KBslittlesis said:As someone who is new to dogs (only been around them properly the last 10yrs) I wouldn’t leave a new dog (be it a puppy or a rescue) alone for 3-4hrs.
There are just too many negatives to it.
I know many do but I couldn’t live with myself and I’d never tell someone it was ok.Yes, it knackers our social life but if we wanted one of them we wouldn’t have dogs.
When I do get back I get a bit of a mardy response from one of them for a couple of hours, but it never lasts - and (as soon as I've fed them, of course) they're back to being the same amazing little companions they are. Fascinating animals - they could survive on their own perfectly well without me for weeks at a time, which is what makes the affection they do give feel so different. I love dogs as well - but I'm too selfish to consider owning one, cats suit me perfectly 😁3 - Sponsored links:

When I lived in The Cronx, I had a white cat who was absolutely petrified of everybody except me and the ex wife (with us he was the most affectionate animal I think I've ever known). With wildlife though, he was absolutely lethal. Rats, mice, birds, voles, moles, squirrels - I even came home one day to find a baby heron stuck halfway through the catflap. F*** knows how he managed that one. Once saw him chase a fox down the garden path and over the fence, clawing at it and yowling the whole way. Idiot - if the fox had been cornered, it would have torn him apart.Carter said:
One of ours did exactly that (the dragging of a seagul the size of a Cessna) im sure this seagul must have been hit by traffic first but when it finally got it towards the back doors I noticed it didn't have a beak on! It was in a true state of disrepair and had to be put out of its miseryRizzo said:Some of our past cats have brought in some unusual items, including live birds, frogs, a dead squirrel and a bag of frozen chicken drumsticks. Best one was when I saw one of them dragging a live seagull up the garden path by its wing. I think the bird was only going along with it from sheer surprise and eventually it flapped its wing, the cat went about 10 feet in the air and then the bird flew off.4 -
RIP Sydney. We can only give them the best care we can and our love and it should be a comfort to know that Sydney will have known this and gave it back, with interest, through his life with you.4

Our little Border Terrier has just been voted Pet of The Year by the staff at our local veterinary practice. She has had a few procedures this year including having her gall bladder removed but she’s been so good and so relaxed about it all and never causes a moments trouble, she’s a right little trooper.18

Unfortunately, I have had to put down our beautiful red English Staffy who was called Ruby. She has been battling cancer and the time came to say goodbye. She'll be sorely missed and was a fantastic chum accompanying me to the pub and always snuggling up on the sofa to watch Charlton at stupid o'clock.

Losing a pet is like losing a family member and best friend all rolled into one. My condolences to those that have. We did in July and it was simply awful.15
