Dogs

My Daughter rushed her old Staffie into the vets last night as he sort of collapsed, lphoned when she was at the vets sobbing her heart out. He had been going down hill for a few weeks but he has been under vet care ie pain killers for his arthritis etc and the vet recently found a lump that they were going to do some investigations into later this week. She had to leave him there and I had another call and she was distraught as she knew he would probably not make it. This morning she had a call from the vet that had seen him all his life and he advised that they Should go to the surgery to say goodby to him, hence another broken hearted phone call.
Covid precautions meant that Dave the vet carried Bisto to their truck, laid him on his blanket in his bed and allowed them, daughter, son in law and 13 year old grandson to say their goodbys, Dave administered the injection and Bisto passed with his family around him and the sun shining on him, it could have been worse but it is never pleasant or easy to say goodby to what is a member of the family, I’ll miss him as he was a character who we looked after whenever they went on holiday. what makes it worse for me is to hear my daughter so distressed and I could do nothing about it, I couldn’t even give her a dad hug, she may be I her late 30s but she’s still my little girl. RIP Bisto, I’ll miss you.
 
Is it possible, or likely that a dog (labrador) could / would eat magic mushrooms from a field? (Asking for a four legged friend)

Labradors are known for eating anything and everything, so I wouldn't rule it out.

Is he/she showing any signs of anything?

shes better now, she went out to do her usuals on friday night and didn't come back. Saturday lunch time (after us all searching and checking with the vets for any casualties) she turned up through the door as the postman dropped the letters in. she was cold, wet and shivering (understandable), but was also a bit shaky on her rear end, walking a bit like John Wayne. her heart was beating fast, and she had a glassed over look as she lay down staring at the ceiling. one of the lads that was helping look for her earlier said he'd seen a patch of mushrooms down by the wood, and her symptoms reminded him of the effect they have on him...

He's done absolutely bugger all with it , he's ruined it before it's even started , and his version of bonding with it is to stick it in a crate and leave it all day unless he sees a photo opportunity for the feckwits forum 🙄

The man is just a compulsive liar , I will never believe another word he says . And as for 2 faced , since I had my fight with the grinder he has not been anywhere near Carole to ask if she needs a hand , , no he'd rather let a woman with ms struggle up a slope with the wheelbarrows and all the other stuff that I usually do , yet this is the woman who did the Nightshift in the lambing shed so he could get some rest , he is just a first class selfish twatt 😡😡😡
