      Every council is slightly different in their rules and enforcement. Check as to what applies in your case.

      Rent it the house to pay the mortgage, and go travelling with the wife. I did this back in the 90's visited both USA and Canada, loved every minute and glad we done it.

      Wouldn't mind that idea, do you think a tenant would mind the wife being here?

  5. Feeling rather relieved, local council OK with my new workshop under permitted development, so much for our busybody neighbour!

      Definitely, she's over 20 keeps losing her sight, but it comes back(?) and permanent diarrhea, yuk!

      I'm almost in a similar position with my cat and she is only 16. She is loing weight rapidly and drinking loads of water so the kidneys are obviously failing. She is getting more in need of a litter tray but ssems to have the strength to keep going. I don't want her to suffer but it is knowing the right time which can be difficult. I do sympathisse with you though and have had plenty of cats to tell the tale about. The good thing is that they are all very different so you never really...

      Sorry to hear. Had my dog put down last year and it's very hard - have to remember that it is the right thing for them.

       

      BrushVeteran, when my vet was discussing my dog's final visit he said to me to look at their "good" days and "bad" days. If you start getting more bad days than good then it's time.
