Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@PeppyPatti I don't think I have seen Good Will Hunting and The Fisher King. 

 

I have added them to my movie playlist, so will watch them when the mood strikes. Thanks for sharing 😊

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 while fireworks are illegal without a permit people still manage to get their hands on them and set them off at ridiculous hours. 

 

I have a Labrador, his name is Casper 😊

 

Awww Russell is gorgeous 😍. I'm sorry for your loss, I've lost 4 of my babies within a 5 year period and it took a piece of me each time. Sending you hugs sweet ❤️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Dreamy how can they get their hands on fireworks without a permanent? People that let them off like that, have no consideration for anyone else or any pets that it will upset. They just want to stupid and have their fun.

 

Every time you lose a pet, a piece of your heart goes with them. I lost all 3 of my dogs within a short period of time.

 

The worse one was the cat as we had to get her put down, as she had cancer on the side of her mouth and she was struggling to eat, and lost so much weight. I was in there with her when they did it and i bawled my eyes out. And even now I am tearing up just thinking about it, and that was over 6 years ago.

 

I am so sorry for your loss ❤️. That is a lot of loss to go through. Your heart must have been continually breaking. That is so sad 😭

 

The name Casper caught my eye as I was reading, as that is the name my partner has given his private parts. Lol

 

Labradors are such beautiful dogs. What colour is he? I love bigger dogs, as they are easier to give a proper hug too. 

 

How is your day going today? Are you feeling a bit better than the other day?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@AuntGlow thank you for sharing the links to Rebekah Ballagh's sites ❤️ I have already had a quick look and saved the coping statements and the It’s Not You and It’s Not True: Taming your inner critic article. I am going to print out the coping statements and putting them on my fridge, so it is easily accessible. And I have followed her on Facebook and Instagram. I need this sort of stuff popping up in my face.

 

I hope you are having an enjoyable Sunday.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 yeah I don't know how they do, it frustrates me so much. I volunteer for a lost pet service and we are the ones that help get the pets spooked by them safely home but sadly it's not always a happy ending and those phone calls to the owners are so hard to make. 

 

Yes that's so true when we lose our pets, all mine have had to be put to sleep but my girl that I lost last year was the hardest cos she was only 3 years old and she was my assistance dog 💔.

 

Awww I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Sending you gentle hugs sweet ❤️.

 

Lol I'm not even going to question that one 😂.

 

Here is a pic of Casper, you'll see him pop up in the forums occasionally 😊.

I'm doing ok for the moment, about to get up to make lunch and then head to the shops. I will chat to you a little later 😊

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Former-Member I love the quotes that you posted on 18th Oct. Especially the "You Get To Decide" quote. I have learnt all the reasons why I am like I am, and I have now started learning what I should have been taught at childhood and I need to unlearn a few things as well.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Love these, thankyou my sweet @Cuddlebear. How are you going? 

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Casper is absolutely adorable. I have often thought about getting an assistance dog, as one of our friend's has one and she is beautiful. The last time I saw her was at a little function at my partner's work and the friend was busy packing stuff up and he wanted me to look after her. By the time he got back she was in my arms with her head resting on my shoulder, it was so cute.

 

We are not allowed to have pets in the caravan park, and I know that assistance dogs should be allowed, but i don't get on well with one of the managers of the park, so not sure if she would make things difficult for us or not. The last thing I want to happen is to get kicked out. As we would have nowhere else to go, and the rents are so high at the moment. I don't want to be couch surfing like i did for 8 months.

 

When I was with my ex with the two dogs you have seen, we also go a little jack russell x shih tzu. She was so adorable. We took her in to get desexed and the ex had her in the garage with him during the day. And then all of a sudden 3 days later she died. I went off at the vet and demanded an autopsy to be done, which they did. It said that she was poisoned. The only thing that we could think of that might have poisoned her is that she was chewing on the wooden legs of the bench in there. The bench is very very old, and we were told that back in the day, they use to treat wood with arsenic. So unfortunately, is was just a horrible accident. We buried her in our garden at the time and had a nice plaque done on square paver, as a little memorial to her,

 

After we had dealt with the loss of Maya, we ended up getting a shih tzu x called Toggy. Unfortunately, he was hit by a car when my niece was looking after the dogs while I was in Cairns. He ran out under the roller door when she went to put her car away. She drove around trying to find him but couldn't. I think the day after I returned home, I received a phone call informing me he was hit by a car and was deceased and asked if I wanted his body or not. All of our deceased pets (except Maya) are buried at my parent's place, so I met the lady and took Toggy home. When they go to redevelop her block, they will find a lot of bones.
