Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

My prayers for your little one. They give us unconditional love.
We lost our 8 year old puppy dog in March. I took him to the Vet 4 times telling them he was lethargic and not feeling well. After blood test & xrays they gave him a clean bill of health. Then three days after the last visit, he struggled to his kitchen rug to say goodbye to us while we waited to take him to the Vet for the 5th time.
I don’t know what is going on with medicine or the medicine. We gave him the best food recommended by the breeder which was raw meats and dehydrated fruit and vegetables. Our other puppy dogs reached 14 and 16 years old before they said goodbye to us.
We buried him under the mango trees. It was his job to protect the fruit from the squirrels and other critters. Our hearts our broken but feel blessed he lived his short life with us.
