Your Beagles are lovely will visit when I've more time! Hello to all my sympathetic friends on DS., I thought I'd try to write and tell you all how I feel with all these kind thoughts, poems, prayers and messages arriving. When I realise it is only a week ago today Floss did the Houdini trick and went off with Tallulah on the hunting trip in the disused quarry behind our house, it seems incredible she is now dead. We are no wiser as to what the infection was, but it must have been very severe as she was given steroids and the highest dose of antibiotics possible. She went downhill so fast we could see her dying before our eyes: we were incapable to do anything more other than keep her warm and keep her company. It was not a hard decicision to put her down, she would have been dead, I'm sure, within 24 hours. Mark, my vet. came to the house and told me we could put her on a drip but he thought it would only prolong the inevitable, I thought she had been quite distressed and I said 'Enough is enough'. I held her paw and she just drifted off, it was a matter of seconds. She is buried [digger ruined ANOTHER bit of the front lawn!] in the field at the side of the house alongside Bernard the Staghound? but that's another long story for another day. I read on DS statistics that someone has 43 dogs in their kennel, I started counting and realised that our running total including the dear departed is.......... 28! One day I will start scanning photographs and post all our other friends, until then I'll stop at 9. One other thought though......... our maximum no of dogs is 10.. that's the theory anyway....... for all you mathematicians that means we have 2 vacancies !!!!! I don't go looking for dogs they just turn up at our gate, are found wandering the streets, or the Dog Warden 'phones me......................... Again, thankyou for your concern it is much appreciated, Kind regards to you all, Lynda and the family
