Sadly my beloved cat Timmy was put to sleep yesterday (Christmas eve) he seemed like he was shutting down body wise and it was his time. He was 16 years old, my sister found him as a tiny kitten that had been dumped. He had the most wonderful temperament, he loved our dogs and would walk with us, when I had my horse he would be in the stable with me and get up on the roof whilst I was cleaning the yard. He didn't like being held really but would sleep as close to you as he could get. When he did meow it was the softest sound.He never scratched or bit the most he ever did if you annoyed him was grab your hand in his mouth but only held it gently.
Amy and Tansy my two shelties are still looking for him.
I buried him in his spot outside. It has been hot here where I am (Australia) mid thirties Celsius and hotter each day at least until next week 36 tomorrow 39 Sunday. I'm glad Timmy doesn't have to go through that, even though my animals are inside with me and the fans and air conditioner.
We miss our dear Timmy.

My husband fell in love with a Siberian Husky while looking for a dog at the shelter a year ago Oct. He named him Bear. After a few months, hubby got sick and was gone for 2 mths in the hospital. Poor Bear kept going in to the room to see if he had come back every day. Then hubby came home for only 2 days under Hospice and died. Bear is now stuck with me. I'm in a wheel chair and can't give him the exercise he really needs. I chase him round the house in my wheel chair sometimes--throw the ball around, but he needs to get out and walk and run. I just can't take him back to the shelter, he is now 10 years old.
He is super friendly--so very sweet. I can't stand the thought of not having him, but I am also very sad that he can't run around more, and I can't afford another dog to keep him company and

chase each other. He seems happy and has no destructive tendencies, except once on a while he digs holes around the rose bushes! And he loves to bury all his toys in the back yard! There's a fortune in stuffed toys back there but we can't see where they could be buried, there is no sign of them. He buried 2 Christmas socks that I never got to wear!

- mmksparbud, Bear sounds gorgeous and I think that so long as our animals can be with us they are happy. I know they do need exercise to be healthy and though I have to walk with a stick, I am not in a wheelchair so you are in a different position. At ten years of age he wouldn't need what a younger dog needs, does he have a run around your yard with his toys (before burying them!)? That would be sufficient for him. If he plays ball, then those sticks with the ball attachment may be alright for you because you don't have to throw hard or bend.That would be more than enough exercise for a ten year old.
- He sounds like he is a lovely companion , I wouldn't worry too much about his exercise, it sounds like you are exactly the sort of owner all dogs would love

Thank you! He does have a big enough yard that sometimes, he is more like a cat-- I think he may have grown up with them!--he all of a sudden will just burst out running and he will run around the yard and in and out of the house like a cat with his tail on fire till he wears out! I totally encourage it!

You are good for each other! Keep him and love him as long as possible.We rescued a miniature beagle in July. We named him "Takoda" -- that is a Sioux word that translates as "friend of everyone". The name says it all.

I have two cats. One striped cat, Malz (short for Malzahar from League of Legends, a play on "Meowz"), and Kibbles - a large cat who is half spotted and half striped. Used to have a house bunny, Kirby, but he sadly passed away after 8 years with me last year.

Actually---if you recollect correctly---they've outrun your stubby little legs many times!! Not to mention scratched the heck out of your adorable little nose! Remember? My brother's Akita preferred them with a side of vanilla ice cream.

I have a mostly white cat named Daisy. She is approaching 3 years old and more loveable than my mom.
