Rip Nicky

[khunsanuk]

After a little over a year Nicky finally lost the fight against old age and passed away quietly some time last night. He had stopped eating and drinking 3 days ago and I think he saw it coming, possibly even welcomed it. Stil, even knowing he is at peace now, My wife and I are pretty fucked up at the moment. He will be greatly missed.

 

RIP Nicky

Hi,

 

On a more practical note, what do I do with the body? Can I bring it to a vet or a temple?

Sorry for your loss KS. I am guessing it was your dog If you have a garden maybe that's a good place to bury.

I know here in Oz you can have the cremated and take the ashes home in a small urn.

Thanks. Yes, our dog. We saw it coming as he had a failing liver for a year already and was getting old (14 years, nearly 4 months).

 

Our son is burying somewhere close by with one of his friends.

Sorry to read about the loss of your family pet..

At least he is not hurting any more..

Hi,

 

Thanks. Good thing is that he never was in any pain as far as I could tell. Even last night he was sleeping fairly peacefully, had to help him go to the toilet at around 2am and he fell asleep again soon after.

Sad when a pet dies, as they are a real part of the family. I assume you had from a puppy, my condolenes on your loss.

From what I have been told, the Wat does not deal with animals.

 

I was always advise, bury it in your garden.

 

I have a $6M dog or at least it seems like it but is worth every penny.

 

RIP Nicky.

'Sorry to hear of the loss. I have a Bangkaew dog (well, about 90%, anyway) that just hit 10 years old this week. He is already starting to fade. I have always taken him out walking in our gated community late at night, usually around midnight - so that I could let him run around free without him bothering anyone. It never ceases to amaze me how enthusiastically excited he has gotten each and every night for ten years, as soon as I step out into the gated carport where he hangs out - he knows that he's going for a walk, and every time he acts like he hasn't been walked in five years - and just starts jumping and yipping ecstatically. So many nights I've returned home half pickled - and would just love to crash out and sleep - but I just couldn't deprive this mutt of his main joy of every day. Pouring rain - no matter. He just doesn't like close lightning/thunder.

 

KS - you should get a new dog - both for you, and for him/her. Dogs need their people, to be complete..
