BlueJean Baby Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 My poor little Simon just had another one of his seizures. Pretty bad one. He is OK now but scared the hell out of me. I have to hold him and talk him through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJean Baby Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 My neighbor has about 20 cats outside that roam everywhere. Last night when I went to bed, there was this really loud screeching under my window....nothing like trying to sleep with cats having sex outside...

sanity_lost Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 My old boy is 15 now. It is gut-wrenching to know that he won't be with me for much longer. I've had dogs all my life and I have loved them all deeply, but the bond I have with him is special and unlike any I have had with any of the others. Probably because he is much better at being manipulative than any of my other pets. I doubt he will make the end easy for me as he will likely hang on to the bitter end and make me make the hard decision for him, but I will enjoy him and spoil him rotten while I have him and let him drive me nuts as only he can. He doesn't like his picture taken and gets all smiley and anxious about it, but I take pictures of him anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her name was Blizzard, she was damn near indestructable. She ate rat loison...twice. and then lived 7 more years. She had also been hit by a car. She died at 19. You may have more time than you know.

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 i can totally empathize with you...i lost the love of my life dog when she was 15. but i try and think of all the great times we had and how i took a pup from the pound days away from being put down and gave her the best life i could. i know this is hard and i hope you have more time with your boy before he goes to the bridge. and when he does i know my baby girl will be among the other fur babies there to greet him...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 i am really worried about my 6 year old black lab. he has always been healthy as a horse but today he is very lethargic, not interested in food, playing with his toys or going outside... all things he normally loves to do. he was shaking earlier and heavily panting. should i give him a while and see if he feels better or take him to the vet?? i would appreciate any advice.

We know he is at least 1/2 German Shorthair, but don't know about the other half for certain. He's much bigger than most of the breed get and his hair is also quite a bit longer. About twice as long as a lab's. He has been having hind-end trouble for a couple years already (and it never really bothered him much, he just obviously didn't have the strength or maneuverability in it that he used to) but we are now starting to battle arthritis as well. The arthritis is what has me concerned. Winter sucks. However, for his particular case global warming has been a blessing as we haven't had too many bad days. He's never done well in hot weather either. I suppose our only option is to move to someplace in California where the climate is always temperate. 20 hours ago, AxlisOld said: My Malamute cooling off in the 9" of snow we got yesterday That is an awesome pic.

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 thanks, he's much better! it was weird, all day he was acting so not himself but right now he was jumping around, wanting me to throw one of his new toys for him and followed me into the kitchen while i was cooking dinner ( Taco Tuesday yay! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
