Old Dogs Chat

I've been putting stuff in cans of wet food or in satin balls. We ran out of satin balls recently though so I gotta make more. I'll post the recipe and a picture of all his pills/supplements later but for now I'm almost late to walk my brother's puppy lol

I'm sorry your dog isn't doing well, it can be terrible to loose a fur baby. However, you could still have lots of good days before you have to say goodbye and it could be something fixable

We had a JRT named Bullet. Pretty sure he was certifiably crazy but he was our boy. He had terrible arthritis and had been on medication for a while, pain pills too. His mind was spry but his body couldn't keep moving so we put him to sleep in January. We cried a lot, but we knew it was coming.

My silky terrier was sad for quite a while, they'd been together 10 years, but we spent all of our time together, I work @ home, and she seemed to come through it ok. She came upon Bullys collar and muzzle in a box in my closet the other day and her little tail was wagging. I think she still misses him.

Hubs was ready for a new puppy after a few months, I was content with having one adult dog. We got the puppy. I do have to say I think about Bully an awful lot still, I can close my eyes and see his sweet smile, feel the silky hair behind his ear as I give him a scratch

The puppy is a good distraction though. He makes us laugh, keeps the old girl, 11 years now, moving and us as well.

I've been through the loss of pets too many times to count, but it never gets any easier.

My husband told me once that dogs are a blessing because they love us without boundaries and make us happy. They're also a curse because they don't live as long as we do and we suffer the loss. I think he's right, but they're a curse I can't live without

We saw the vet today for an annual, vaccinations, and a serious chat about my old friend's health. She has a tumor on her spleen. There are a few options, but none of them are particularly promising and our days are very limited. I just want her to be comfortable and enjoy the time we have left.

So sorry!

So sorry!

Thank you. I have told a few friends that I would be surprised if she makes it through summer. I knew in my heart she was not ok (even though most days she seems fine and no one believes me). Now that the vet has confirmed though my heart is breaking all over again. It's more official, not just a hunch.

Oh no. Well at least you know what's going on.

Aw so sorry. Well glad there is an official diagnosis even though it doesn't help at all. Sorry.

I'd try to enjoy the time you have left with her

Oh no, very sad news. I hope you have some really good times with her and that things are easy for her. I know they won't be for you, I'm so sorry.
