Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 How sad . I'll be thinking of you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have let her go I found her in the run and she was not looking at all good. I was making the dinner at the time, so called the vets to see if they had any emergency evening appointments. I could not let her suffer until morning. My neighbour popped in to supervise the children's dinner so that I could go (she is always saving my bacon). Thankfully I got to see the vet who keeps chickens. She found a lump, which was painful for poor Henrietta DD1 took it badly as I thought, am sure she will soon get over it esp as OH has said that we can get another. OH has just had a shower and is wearing his Omlet pants in memory of Henrietta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Sad news. Your OH has made you smile through tears. Good man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Sorry to hear that Paola.. do we get another picture of OH in his pants? Big hugs to you all, it doesn't get any easier, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hils78 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It sounds like you did the right thing - all too often at work we see people try & keep their animals going for far too long & the animal is suffering. Its really refreshing to hear of someone with a realistic outlook. Tell your DD1 that she's gone the henven! might make her laugh. What a lovely looking chicken too. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
