Lost my beautiful boy (bull mastiff ) to a crocodile. Haven't had the heart to replace him yet. He wasn't even near the creek. The croc was in a drain next to the sugar cane lying in the mud right near the house. Have my beautiful cats though.
I am SO sorry to hear of the loss of your dog to a croc, @kitkatb - that's horrible! My neighbour lost his cat to a bloody fox in the bushland behind our house - suburbia's answer to NT crocs!
Our neighbours on both sides have dogs, so we are pet owners by proxy! We've even got 'Beware of the Dog' sign on our gates, for that reason!
Thanks @arpie. Its a dilemma whether or not to get another one. Hubby works away a lot of the year so unsure at this stage what to do as we have always had one. When are you away on your Otis holiday.
@kitkatb My buddy down the south coast lost both her schnausers in the last 2 years, one to snake bite & just last month, the other to bloody cancer. She wasn't going to get another puppy, but has found a gorgeous one & is about to pick it up in a matter of weeks, once weaned & had it's shots etc. A dog gives a love & companionship that cats just don't 'get'! Nothing wrong with cats - but they think you deserve them. Dogs give you unconditional love & idolatry! Always good for security too! Like @Brenda5, I reckon you could need one for your own sake. xx
We head to Thredbo at the end of April for 5 days (it will be bloody cold, as it is already snowing there!!) I am hoping both my brothers and their partners will join us there. It should be fun.
Hi @Shellshocked2018, we have 1 Mini Schnauzer, our other one died in Jan at 14 years which was a huge loss. Next Wednesday we are collecting 2 more, a Mum & one of her pups from the same breeder. It sounds crazy but we are all so looking forward to it. I hope our old girl loves the new additions too!
