HI guys

Hi there, hope you're OK x

Don't go in NL very much, but just to say, what a decision to have to make :(
TBH in your situation I would probably be considering the same, there are lots worse things that can happen to an animal.
Thank God my mum had no horses but she did have a very difficult dog, who for a variety of reasons, especially once my dad left, had to be given sleep so I do know ust a wee tiny bit what you are going through.

Keep together, you'll get through it missus. Wish I was closer but I will give you hugs and bum-kickings (only when you need them, of course) from here :)
 
Oh I do feel for you, it is devastating isn't it. Bad enough dealing with the emotional stuff without everything else as well. Tough as it is I do think you are right about your horses, I have always said ours will be pts rather than sold on, they are either old ,quirky or both, but if it comes to the harsh reality of doing this I hope I am brave enough.
When my ex left a lot of people suggested I should get rid of my dogs but they were my lifeline, so totally with you there.
I wish I could do more to help, do you have family who could help you either financially or with somewhere to stay?
Sending you hugs.x
 
I so, so feel for you Vizslak - at least when my ex left me I was earning enough to get a place of my own, even though it has left me in a **** place financially some years later! I'm racking my brains to think of solutions for you - might be worth trawling around local livery yards etc, they are likely places to have mobile homes to rent or similar?

I've read your NL post, and I think you are right and I would go for the PTS option for the horses, but then that is very easy for me to say :(:(:(:(

Loads of (((hugs))) for you, and I also agree you MUST keep the dogs - rehoming two of ours when me and my ex split was a huge mistake, even though I know they both went to lovely homes and are both very happy still :o
 
Thanks guys for your lovely replies, I wanted to post sooner but just was not in a place emotionally to do so. Thanks for being lovely x
 
Hope it works out for you. I too would pts the old horses if it comes to it. But I think you will pick yourself up and survive this. I have always considered that if I couldnt afford to keep them, my oldies would be PTS. My Sec B will go to the stud which stood her father and my other mare will be offered back to her breeder for free.

There are lots of ways to tweak the budget too. I think back to my student days and whilst it was not easy, we survived. Extra jumpers to cut down on heating, shoppping in secondhand clothes shops, soya added to mince to make it go further...Loads of rice and pasta...and of course the obligatory bicycle!

Carboots are a good way to raise a bit of cash too.
 
V I have replied on your NL thread :(- I meant what I said - PM me for anything anytime as problem solving is what I do best and will try and help. I aslo have a good line in money saving ideas etc I am too far away to offer practical help with neds etc and feel for you - stinky spangle and looney lab hugs for you!:cool::D:D
 
You've had some great advise/ideas on the NL thread that will hopefully take some of the pressure off for you.

The homeworkinguk.com have lots of oppotunities with no tight deadlines which you may be able to work around? May be worth a look.

Really hope you can find a solution for your horses but don't beat yourself up if not - whatever you decide, will be right for you and them.

Take care, and when in doubt - kiss a snout! :D (a Flora shaped one preferably)
 
Try The Lady http://www.lady.co.uk/?q=lady_classifieds#Jobs if you think you could go down that route.

You are into showing Vizslas? Have you contacted the breeder / s of your dogs, or your breed club. A reputable breeder should help their puppy buyers down the line if they need help, and often good breed clubs may have a network through their rescue of people who would foster your dogs while you get yourself sorted out.
