The DOG thread

Best photo of why we do what we do. This dog, Radar, with his huge ears, came out of a kill shelter, a captured stray with bite wounds, and running out of time before being PTS. Look at him now in his loving home.

Life is good...

Well, it has been a bit over 24 hours and I have the ability to share that my Daisy passed peacefully last night, Friday December 28. Her tumor ruptured and she was gone in less than a hour. She was the best dog I ever knew. There is a big hole in our house, it is a bit too quiet.

I'm so sorry, Dan. She was a great companion and such a beautiful girl. She had a great life and knew she was loved.

{{{Hugs}}}

My heart breaks for you. Just her kind face says what a wonderful girl she was. Hang in there the best you can as time will help. And if anyone says, And life moves on, I will personally be happy to come over and kick them in the nuts.

Damn it. RIP daisy.

(That face!)

Thanks Guys. We knew she was on borrowed time. She went very quickly and peacefully. Here is one more photo that really captures who she is, from day one to her last breath.

Heartbreaking loss. Why do we all go through it time and again? Because the time we have with them makes the heartbreak, worth it.

Alfie now at 5 months. Like having a cartoon character living in our house.

Just after we picked him up - a year ago today in fact. He’s a bit bigger now.

Alan, that is a great picture. I love his attitude, and his eyes are bright. I bet he's a great dog.

This post was 18 months ago, after the vet told me "Tank only has a couple months to live" if I didn't biopsy his "tumors", remove them, and do chemotherapy...Chemo on a 9 year-old mastiff I let them remove the visible tumors, but declined the biopsies and chemo.

Well, today is Tank's 11th birthday and he just chased a coyote off the property and brought in the newspaper from the road. He's going to outlive me!

SO GLAD to hear this, Craig! I've thought about Tank quite a bit since you posted about his "tumors".

Respect to you for being Tank's health care advocate and making responsible decisions.

Please give him a huge hug - or three - from me and the girls.

Well TBH he does listen rather better than his two legged brother.

Gracie came from Texas. My son is stationed at Ft. Hood and she wandered up to him on a walk with his dog. We took over parenting of her in 2018 due to his deployment and training schedule. We've always wondered what her mix is. She is 40 lbs and looks like a mini golden retriever. DNA results are in. 25% golden retriever, 25% Beagle, 12.5% labrador retriever, 12.5% cocker spaniel and 25% other companion group dogs. A true mutt :-)
