<t>I'm sorry for your loss Hope, and such a young age he was.. It's nice to read you still think of him as such a great man! It was my grandad's birthday on the 31st of march.. he would have been 87.. he died aged 80. I still think of him every day.. I dream about m...

<t>Thank you Oscar.. I think it all depends on who how and what. I have a feeling the vet, with his medical knowledge knew what was coming and that was that. On the other hand I have know someone (ex- co worker) who was told he would die (at about 18 or something) of...

Yeah it is better it went quick.. The other vet said that he was in a lot of pain and on lots of meds..

I just hope he didn't suffer too much..

<t>How sad and how quick .. About 12 days ago I posted something about; doesn't it just always happen to the good ones? I was talking about my vet, who was diagnosed with cancer in the chest (I suspect the lungs). He was taken in to hospital on the 3rd of march, and ...

I hope so JJ..

Ohhhh! what's it about JJ?

balls.. I had just written a reply and it just vanished on me..

anywho.. in short; i agree.. that that situation needs to be sorted.

<t>Well I posted from personal experience as you know.. the male side of my family, yes give them meds and psych help. 3 out of 4 are not with us anymore. So yes hopefully the 4th will be "saved". it's just very easy giving out meds sometimes instead of addressing the problem.. which does...

<t>mmm we never really played board games. Bits were always missing. My mum never liked board games, because when she was little and her dad lost at playing a board game, he used to chuck the whole game though the room.. Bad case of sore loser syndrome. We played cards instead....

How cool.. I didn't know they had 2 stomachs!

frustrating isn't it? :-5

<t>Like you said, It is difficult. my brother knows he is the way he is. he took meds and psych help on board for a few weeks, but as he has a choice of taking the meds, he just one day stopped taking them. it's frustrating sometimes, like the other day he suddenly p...

Okay, i've calmed down now and off to bed. But what a reality check huh?

I can understand why you didn't press charges. Everybody has a silly moment every now and then in their life (the road rage guy i mean)..

I don't see what's wrong in having a discussion about these topics?

I'm glad JJ posted this. In so many cases doctors just give out medication instead of addressing (if there is) the (real) problem.
