A Bad Week For Pets :-(

It's been a bad week for pets.

I just had my mother - more or less in tears - on the phone. Her crazy spaniel suddenly died today. Not entirely sure what kind of dog he was - about beagle dimensions, fluffy and orange. Here we go - he was a brown English Cocker Spaniel, just like the one to the top right of the article. He was only six years old, and still acting a lot like a puppy.

Apparently he had a bit of a cough yesterday, and this evening he just rolled over, made some odd noises and was no more! Just like that. Sounded like a heart attack or something. If he was a farm dog I might have suspected eating fox bait, but there's not much of that around suburban Geelong.

Other pet incidents this week: [livejournal.com profile] stillbeing's budgie has been very sick, although he's apparently on the mend. He's a cool bird, likes my keys for some reason.

[livejournal.com profile] evildoom_bunny's Fighting Fish died last week.

And Hazel's cat Ginger still needs a home...

Hope those of you with pets are having better luck with them!

Oh how awful :( Your poor mother! I can well imagine the pain she's going through. And for it to happen so unexpectedly too...it's just heartbreaking. I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of her. And I really hope she's doing as...well...as okay as she can be, under the circumstances.
