"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Tess was helped to the RB this evening. Lots of tears. You know what? Some people says that cats are superior to dogs. I don't agree. Dogs are fine animals, too, loving, caring individuals. They act in another way than cats, that's true, but are they less worth to people than cats, rabbits or horses? Absolutely not. The loss of a dog companion is hard to take, and I wish Tess all the best on her way to RB. I wish the best for you all, and so do my cats... Hans |

How sad, Tweed. Purrs and virtual hugs on the way for you and your
neighbours. Sam "Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Tess was helped to the RB this evening. Lots of tears. Tweed "Steve Touchstone" wrote in message ...

They are expected to share the same bed, which isn't really big enough. It's okay if the pointer gets in first, the others arrange themselves around her. *But* if the springer and border get in ahead of the pointer, she can't get in. The first thing she does is to grab a toy and play with it in front of them. This will sometimes have the effect of luring the springer out to play with the toy and then Tess the pointer will then rush into the bed and lie down. If this fails, she will go to the back door and pretend she can see a cat. This works always. Both the others will rush to the back door and ask to be let out. Tess then settles herself in the bed. She needs purrs, actually. She's had a cough for a while and started to lose weight. TED says she has a growth in her chest, pressing on her heart. Her hoomins are considering what to do. She is 13 and they adore her. They know what they need to do, but have to come to terms with it soon. Purrs needed that they can face this decision.
