Some people don't need to put on a tough act. People should do what they want and answer to nobody. That's fair enough mate i can accept that..........but why video it ?

shepp 2,285 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 What a load of ol bollocks ....fair enough deal with death in whatever way you like go on a last walk,sit around in a circle crying if you like......but why video it !Post Diana thing again Gnash. As a country we just get more pathetic, imagine if we had this modern mentality during the the two world wars, we would have folded after a fortnight. Well don't all wipe our arse with sandpaper or eat our weatabix without milk. Some people don't need to put on a tough act. People should do what they want and answer to nobody. People never put on a tough act in the past, quite the opposite. They just quietly and stoically got on with it. People can do what they want, but if you want to make it public don't be surprised if you get some criticism, if some think you are being a bit of an attention seeker. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 20,724 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 All my dogs at the end have gone on a one way walk and received a OBE at there destination... To me it's the ultimate show of respect for the animal and the best way for me to deal with the loss... No hanging round vets or body's to deal with.. Say your goodbyes a bit of food on the floor bury them where they fall it's all over.. its the last thing I can do for them....each to their own but dragging it out ain't for me.

I suppose the question should be why not ? I might be wrong but ive never heard of people doing videos of funerals and putting them on the internet....and thats for people ! Is there not a part of you that thinks the whole thing was all a bit melodramatic " Hollywood " rather than the genuine personal grief it should of been ?....fair enough if not we all see things different.

We done a very similar thing years back with my mates old dog Jet, we took him over Altcar for a last hare. He was about 14 and well past his coursing days. My mate figured the run will either kill him or he would ensure he went after doing what he loved. Well old Jet was slipped and caught the bloody hare on the straight...! We were so gobsmacked, my mate never had the heart to do anymore than take him back home for a good feed... Funny as feck looking back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,977 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 watched last super vet, he had to put down a staff x , it had cancer , ok it not private moment with a tv camera there recording it , but it still hits you hard just seeing other people upset, i know it good tv but it still chokes you up, and ive been told many a time by my wife that i am not proper dog lover, compared suppose to most dog owners which is true, as i treated them like a tool to do a job. but ive mellowed as ive got older , and dont work my dogs like i did when i 1st started 30 years ago, there are pets as well, and ive always said lurchers make great pets being healthy, clever, and cheap to my comp to a ped dog 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,455 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I wont say who as he might not want to be associated with me but im in the middle of an interesting conversation through pm with a chap on here about exactly what your on about Bird how the older we get we tend not to see dogs in the same ways we did when we was younger ive started questioning myself lately about some of the things i put dogs through as a younger man and whether it was all really necessary and i thought maybe it was just me thinking like that but it seems a number of us tend to reach a certain stage of life where we view things differently.....not necessarily the rights and wrongs of it but i guess as we mellow we start to see that a dog is more than just as you say " a tool ".....i still think the whole video thing on this topic was a lot of bollocks but it does cause you to question where your own mind is at which cant be a bad thing.

A man that had always favoured hard terriers & a man that was very hard with his decisions concerning working dogs. When I caught up with him he'd not long quit terriers & now just had a pet westie with his mrs. Even though that westie was an annoying twat he was fawing over it like a kid ffs haha. I thought WTF!! He was talking differently about dogs & I think he'd sickened himself a little bit, but I'm not sure. He'd never been a cruel man, but I know he'd done things he would now deem unnecessary. I've got softer as well, but not to that extent yet......thank fcuk! Haha... Edited November 17, 2016 by Accip74 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
