Name the kangaroo....

Sounds like a brill dog DaveB.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said he was sociable with humans, but not other dogs.

My ginger cat is like that. He doesn't really get on with other cats, or dogs, or the umpteen other furry things that dwell in Bogey Towers. He thinks he's a human, and likes to engage with humans.

Is the dog still with you?

Sadly not, he died at the beggining of last month.

Oh God - now I want to cry..

Sorry to hear that Dave. That's the worst thing about having pets. It's good for the kids though. They come to understand that life and death and grieving is a natural cycle.

Did he have any last words?

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul goes unawakened.

When you say loved, I hope you don't mean in the biblical sense!

You anesthetise your fish then?

Always.

Indeed. MrsB took it particularly badly, mainly because we had to take the decision for him to be put to sleep. Turned out he had cancer of the liver / bowel but by the time he showed any visible symptoms it was too late for anything to be done and he became very ill very quickly.

He was her dog before we ever met and I had to work hard to get him on side to begin with. He was *very* protective of her in the early days.
