Oh Gail, I have only just seen this now. I am so sorry to hear this. As everyone else has said, you are a wonderful, wonderful person, please dont blame yourself. You give so much to all of your dogs, and I am sure Mohini knew that and would not want you to feel like this. If you need anything, you know where we all are, all you have to do is call. Mohini is up playing with Loki now, and they are watching down on us until we can meet them again. Please take care of yourself RIP sweet Mohini Em and Bosco xx

Kristy, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I glimpsed this thread the other day, but had no words for you, so I did not post. I still have no words for you, except that I know how much your heart is breaking right now, and my heart breaks for you and your family. I knew I should not have read it here at work, because now I am bawling! Please, do not blame yourself. It was an awful accident, and no one is to blame. You gave Barker all the love you had, and I am sure he knew that. And I know you will miss him. He is up there with my Loki girl now, and all the other DOL dogs who have passed, and I bet they are having the time of their lives just waiting for us when the time comes. Please take care of yourself, RIP Barker

I had to get a sample for Pippa when I had her. Thankfully, I took it in the morning, just after she woke up, so I didnt have to take her for walkies to get her to do her business I managed to just use the sample pot (although now I have plenty ideas if I ever need to do it again) but I had her on lead and followed her very closely just incase :D Cant imagine what the neighbours must have been thinking

Bosco is an escape artist, as many on here know I knew I had to do something when he and my girl got out one day, and only he came back. Then he went into panic mode, and I would not trust him not to escape again, so I had to watch him like a hawk. I even had to take him to work with me during the day as I had no where to put him,and he had already eaten through the laundry door and pulled up the carpet. I rent too, and I just told my landlord the situation, and they said it was fine to build a run. Luckily, I have a massive concrete slab in the backyard which I have just placed the run on top of, but it did mean that I had to have bolts screwed into the concrete to keep it secure (Bosco would dig out if it was on dirt) but then can just be cut off at the top when I have to move. And it is fully enclosed so he cant jump or climb out the top. There is a small gap at the front top, but he hasnt seemed interested in getting out of there, he actually seems to feel quite safe in his run :rolleyes: Im really sorry this happened :D But I think a good sturdy run is the only thing you can do, or like others have said running an electric wire along the top of the fenceline. Keep us updated

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Warley, Xcel and Luci. My baby girl will finally get to meet your Pyro over the bridge, to be friends forever until we can meet with them again. My heart goes out to you, I know how much you must be hurting right now. If you need anything, just PM me, and we can chat. RIP beautiful boy, look after my Loki Dog for me. 2 Sweet Angels over the bridge, may you run free and be happy always, Love Em and Bosco

Thank you everyone for your lovely thoughts. Loki is certainly very missed at home at the moment. The house is very quite, and sometimes I find myself looking for her to make sure she is not up to mischief because she is so quite. I guess it will just take time for me to get used to the fact that she is not around anymore. I miss the way she looked to me everytime she wanted something, or just to say hello. I have to concentrate on Bosco now - the poor thing is still not sure what is going on. He is on Clomicalm and also Xanax at the moment to try to ease the anxiety, but he has still managed to pull up my loungeroom carpet, and he has almost eaten through the laundry door! He will also be OK in time I hope, I just have to work hard with him to make him feel OK. I hope Loki is looking down on us both and watching out for us, as I am sure she will be. Thank you again for the kind wishes, it is just another one of those moments where I will have to take it a day at a time, but it is very comforting to know that I have the support of so many kind, wonderful people. Em and Bosco.

To my dearest Baby Girl, From the moment that I saw you, I know that I had to have you. You looked so sad and just wanting some love, and I knew then that you would be "my girl" My world became a better one on the afternoon of the 29th October 2005 - the day we went to pick you up and take you home to be mine forever. When we first got you home you were so afraid of everything, timid and shy. I loved you as best I could, and over time you became more trusting and your true personality shone through. You were the happiest, most loyal and loving dog I have ever met, and I will always love you. I am so sorry that I was not there for you in your time of need, the way you were for me so many times in the past, but I know now that you feel no more pain, and the awful memories of your past before I met you are hopefully gone, and I will remember you for the remarkable dog you were for the rest of my days. You were my companion, my best friend and my rock during some of the hardest times of my life, and the last few months of your life you gave me everything you had to help me through the pain, and help me to get better. I am a stronger person today because of you. And apart from a few little sibling scraps, you were a best friend and big sister to Bosco, who is missing you so much also. I will always love you my Loki Dog, and you are burnt into my memory and my heart until the day we meet again. Wait for me across the bridge, but run free and I know how happy you will be with all your new friends running in the fields. Thank you for everything. You were such a giving dog, and you never wanted for anything, except lots of cuddles from mum. We miss you so much sweetie. Love you forever and a day, Mum and Bosco RIP Loki - Until we meet again my little princess xxx

Aawww - I have to admit, I got a bit teary when reading this - specially to hear how well you little chappy is doing (yes, I am a woos!) Good on you for taking all the wonderful advice and really putting it to use, looks like it has worked a treat. Now all we need is some photo's to go with the story! :rolleyes: (Probably need to take them in secret )
