Re: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
"Rambo" was a stray and probably the most lovable pet I've ever had. I think he was more appreciative of the care, love and companionship he received. He enjoyed camping or was it just being near anywhere we were? This "old fella" is now gone but certainly not forgotten.

Many of you might remember the mentioning of my beloved Rambo, who was a stray and found love and safety at our home almost 12 years ago. I took him on his last ride this morning. Besides getting on up in age, being a diabetic and losing his sight, sneezing blood from his nose a few times,he had developed several tumors inside and outside his body over the last year. One on the left rear leg joint had been getting bigger and bigger and finally erupted the other night when he jumped out of the car. The bandage shown is where the tumor was. While I don't think he yet felt any pain, the vet said he could eventually. I'll certainly miss his companionship and am sure Buffy, Fifi and Marbella will be waiting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge for him. Update - Mon., Nov. 19. I had Rambo cremated and picked up his ashes today. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -458Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pet Food Recall

She went down and her heart stopped. They had to do the same thing with our little dog Annie a couple of years later, only not such a hugh amount. Some farm animals are shot with a bullet in their brains. Depends on the animal and what they are going to do with it, and who the owner is and what the owner wants. Usually if the animal is to be food, it is shot in the brain. The Physical method is a sledge hammer to the top of there head bashing them to death. There is also a Mechanical hammer used in slautherhouse's. However, that is not consiteded euthanision. DeeDee As a pet lover I find the thought of using a sledge hammer barbaric. Most death row inmates are now treated better than that.418Views0likes0Comments
