Nonsense

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

Hi Fernando,

you are a nice guy but this is a strange message to put here.
Is this dog stuff not exactly right in CTF forum instead ?
Or can it be that the dog could play chess ?

Regards,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

The last place he would want to share this information is on CTF...no one cares there!

I gather you've never had a dog or cat that has been with you for 10, 15 or 20 years?

Empathetic Regards,
Terry

It is still a strange place to put a message about a dog. I could understand if it were one's wife or cat, but even in those cases I do not think CCC appropriate. Just my tuppence.

A cat might be acceptable, but not Man's Best Friend? :shock:

If you had been here from the beginning you might understand why Frernando posted it here. It's like extended family.

Yes, you just saw it, but the same is old news.
BTW, negrita was founder of this group.

Dear Fernando:
This is a terrible loss, yes. I have known loss too.
I want to tell you that when I returned to this forum recently, after an absence of about 6 years, I was very happy to see your name here. I remember you, and I trust that the bright days will return soon.

Wednesday at 23:30 died my beloved Negrita, a 16 years old ordinary dog that was with my daughters along every step of her growth. Negrita was a nervous, animated dog, full of life that gave us many things, love first of all. She died peacefully after we were compelled to put her to sleep due to the fact she was beginning to suffer a lot.
Ok, nobody cares about this, but I felt the impulse to tell.

Good night
Fernando
Sorry for your lost Fernando. I know how it is to lose a good dog.
One of my dogs kept attacking his own pup. Its the only one he
would attack. The other two dogs he didn't bother. One had
to go and since he was the one doing the attacking i shot him.

Fernando,

In June of this year we euthanized our 16 y/o border collie mix. She was a wild and crazy dog in her youth. She became old and decrepit
and was in renal failure. Bonnie Barker was the sister of Clyde Mittens who had predeceased her back in 2004.

We have a new dog, Mimi, the puggle. Mimi hates SUVs and noisy
trucks and cars. She is 12 kilograms of dynamite. She loves her daddy.

RIP,

Tim
