Pippin




Pippin is 13 years old with a heart condition and murmers and such like. He was diagnosed at the age of 7 and has been expected to pop his clogs at any time since then. I am terrified he does so this week as I am looking after him. He's a huge, scruffy old thing who purrs constantly, even while chomping down on my fingers when trying to pill him He may be getting on in years but he has all his bloody teeth, my thumb has all the marks to prove it
He's absolutely gorgous though.

Re: Pippin


Hi Pippin. My B-I-L had a border terrier that was supposed to die very young, she did die.... when she was very old.

And a friend looked after a puppy with a condition called "ectopic ureter" however she aslo had kidney problems & wouldn't make it to her first birthday, my friend wanted to give her the best year possible & kept her ............... until she died .... aged 15!

Re: Pippin


I am going to take a brush with me tomorrow and see if he'll allow me to groom him for a bit as he is quite matted.
I think he's a smasher even if he did chomp down on my thumb
