The DOG thread

[Bill Douglas]

A small bragg here LOL.

A row of young women were sitting on the beach one evening eating fish and chips. Lots of dogs approached them and just got a "shoo" or a "go away." My dog snuck around the back and sat on the end of the row of girls looking out to sea. After awhile they realised there was a dog there. Dog acted as cool a a cucumber and just carried on looking out to sea. They were a bit mystified by suddenly there was a dog there with them who wasn't trying to get their fish and chips, and just seemed like one of the team. Soon they were patting/hugging/kissing him THEN they started giving him fish and chips. Very proud of him. Out of a dozen dogs trying to scrounger fish a chips he was the only one who scored.

Ha....great story, Bill!

Give the little fella a head smootch from us, please!

[Bill Douglas]

Haha, just did. Told him it was all the way from Florida.

Fine looking bunch of dogs there Baz. Very fine.

We’ve gone south to check on my mother in law. She’s 70 and has liver cancer. Now what’s the best thing a 70 year old with cancer can do you ask. Why buy a schnauzer puppy.

This is Maya.

All ears..

Picked up Dottie ten days ago.

Heeler/Mutt mix. She is 18 months old, raised by a nice lady in a small house and lot in Charleston, SC. Never off a leash. A friend of my daughter knew we were looking and Arden, who lives in Charleston, went to see her and gave us the thumbs up.

Amazing what ten days can do in the life of a dog. She has gone from thinking every trip out of the house is the Great Escape to completely relaxed, goes out on her own and comes back looking for escorts

Fantastic!

You guys made my night - thank you!

Head smootches all around to the pups......

My heart is heavy today. We had to help Miss Olive over the Rainbow bridge this morning. I am going to miss that girl! Best dog a person could wish for.
Pancreatic cancer sucks!

^^^ Great looking pup sorry for your loss.

[billybek]

Sorry to hear about Olive, Dan.
She looked like a good girl.

[Seahawk]

My best, Dan.

As we all know, our duty is to make sure their lives are as full of the happiness they give us, then take care of them as they cross.

I love the pic in the grass.

[Baz]

My heart is heavy tonight for you, Dan

But damn she had the best life a dog could ever have - so much respect to you and yours.....Olive will be missed.....

I am still choking back the tears as I type. She was an amazing girl. Not an angry bone in her body even after someone abused her as a puppy. I held her all night (last night) as she was in full grand mall seizures. I could not bare loading her in my truck and taking her in for the deed. With seizure comes high body temp which fries the brain. The damage had already been done. I/we (wife and I) held her, talked to her, kept her from injury to herself. Her spirit had already left her body but her body wouldn’t give up. We had a vet come here to give her dignity of passing in her own bed with us holding her.
Damn! Way too quiet in here.

It's the hardest thing we'll ever have to do, Dan.

But it's also the ultimate representation of love and respect for your companion.

It hurts just reading your words --- and I know I speak for everyone here.

The important thing is she's out of pain now.....and no doubt she's romping around with little Billabong now - so take some measure from that....

It hurts reading this. I'm glad you were able to rescue her and give her the life (and passing) that she deserved.

[Danimal16]

Dan, I am very sorry for your loss.

[Bill Douglas]

Sorry to hear this.

But pat yourself on the back for giving dog the best life she could have had.

[Gogar]

Sorry Dan. You did a good job.

[KevinTodd]

Sorry to hear about Miss Olive, Dan. The older we get, the tougher it becomes to lose a friend like this. Rest easy knowing you were there for her in her final moments. We as humans should be so lucky.
