Retired terriers

[blackpack 70]

Blind and deaf, still be a lot happier than some of us.

A bit respect i think, after all those years you should of built up a great friendship with the dog as well, would you not want and try to stay a part of that dogs life, one that would do its all for you, BEST FRIENDS.

Theres always ways around things, saying no room or make space, load of shit.

MORE LIKE NOT BOTHERED.

Never once said i was gona pts.He is just very awkward to keep around me at the minute.With him being almost blind if another dog comes within striking distance he is into them.Not nice when out walking him.I have loads of room to keep him and i never put a terrier down unless needs be.He aint suffering and eats all he gets no prob just could not leave him run loose will see how it goes.

I would just stick with him mate, unless he becomes a liability.

have a 11 year old patt bitch round yard never let me down comes in house every night now could never pts and couldnt think for the life of me why anyone would

[alan626 305]

as the old saying goes last in first out; so i would not put an old dog out that served me well to make room for a young one; would just have to make more room

why on earth would anyone pts an old warrior that has spent his life risking his life for you each and every season,they deserve to retire and spend their last years knocking about the yard.

Verry well said

Put him in a kennel away from everything then!!! your making excuses. Ive an old dog here,14 he is and not a tooth in his head,only dog i retired to the house and its only because he got sick and i put him in a crate in the kitchen for a week,that was 3yr ago! To be honest he is a fe*kin pest,he hasnt the patience for pups running round him,he farts,stinks,barks for no reason in the night,when he drinks he floods the place,still raids the bin if he gets chance and has started to have the odd shit or piss in the kitchen....i put up with him...why? because from his second season to his last id open that kennel door twice a week at 5am and no matter how tired or sore he was i hunted him,he never said he couldnt be botherd or had an off day,he went and he worked,and if he wants to have the odd piss on my kitchen floor because he cant hold it......il mop it up with pleasure. He dots about the house and the yard like he's 90,but he smells a bitch on use he seems to forget about the cateracts,the bad leg,his breathing trouble and the kitchen bin the old fu*ker,as we found out last year when he caught my sons bitch at christmas when we picked me up heading out one morning for a dig,she ran in the kitchen and bang ,my wife said you better come see this,expecting another pool of piss and there he was stuck,tongue hanging out and eyes rolling round like marbles!....and now has pups out of him,fair play to him he had a hard hard life with me with little mercy,he has earnt the right to be as contrary as he wants its his retirement,by fu*k HE EARNT IT!!!!!!!!!! Never mind your excuses make allowences if he was such an honest dog.

Smicker, straight to the point.

If a dog has done his/her share over the years, then you should do your share and look after them whilst they're in retirement. If you can find a new home for them where they can see out the rest of their years taking it easy then that's fair enough, but I couldn't put the dog to sleep knowing it had gave it's all for me over the years.

By reading that post you must be a very patient man,first off anyway the dog wouldnt be in the house for a start,secondly he wouldnt be shittin and pissin on the floor,and he wouldnt be barking at night for a fact.retierment or no retierment i wouldnt be puttin up with him for long.dogs come and go at the end of the day no point being too sentimental.
