I wish I could be a bit more detached. We’ve spent squilions and cried buckets over the cats.
Actually I was pretty heartbroken in 2000 when we had to have our 17 yr old dog put down. She was the shaggiest mongrel thing but she had a great personality. We’d had her since she was 4 weeks old and she was quite a fixture at the shop. She used to lie in front of the shop doorway and customers had to climb over her to come in, not that it phased anyone….once she was having a snooze in the gutter outside the shop and one of my customers came into the shop all distressed cause she thought she had to tell me that peaches had died….I went out gave her a gentle shove with my foot and she jumped up with a look on her face as if to say “Who me? Whaddya want?”
