2nd opinion was the same as the first. He has DCM, we didn't catch it early. He has another 24 hour monitor on right now, and after the Cardiologist reads the results he will be put on a cocktail of meds. I'm sick and crying all over again. I love him so much that the thought of losing him at only 3 years old is overwhelming. Thanks everyone for the good vibes.
I had completely missed this earlier. I am so sorry. Hugs and slobbery Lab kisses from my girls to you and Petey.
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

so..... a couple nights ago, I was at work, but Gracie was being her usual after dinner wild self. I guess she was digging at her bed and dragging it around the living room as she often does :roll: . So, my wife got a little tired of that and threw Gracie's bed up on a chair. Moments later, this if what my wife found:

btw, you know that old saying that a dog and it's owner will begin to look alike? well norm looked at me and thought 'man i don't wanna look like that!' so since my master snores like a chainsaw, i think i will too! :shock:
seriously, this little 45 pound dog can shake the rafters with his snoring sometimes...just like me :oops: :twisted:

My little Penny, at 22 lbs., is the soundest sleeper I've ever seen. If you try to wake her up in the morning, she will growl at you! :wtf: :shock:
When she snores at night I don't think a bull elephant could make more noise.

You are far from alone!
I can shake the rafters with my own snoring ( :oops: ) but I still can't figure out how such a little dog can make so much noise! :shock:

p.s......did you ever get that situation handled with Ringo being aggressive with smaller doggies? As i was looking at all the doggie pics in here, I came across your post about that and didn't know if anyone contributed in helping you find solutions. [/b]
Well we've banned all fluffy and stuffed toys from the house. Only balls and tug of war toys from now on. We've kept her away from other dogs for now. She's got plenty of friends to play with with Ringo and Orbit so no dog parks for now. We have a river about 5 minutes from our place where we can get a spot to ourselves and play with them.
I sent this pic to my girlfriend the other day and I had labelled it the 3 amigo's
She wrote back "More like the children of the corn with all those glowing eyes!"
They've been a crazy bunch lately. Orbit so big and boofy and she gets so excited when you get home or are making them dinner and that sends the other two into a frenzy. Funny stuff!!
We just got allergy test results back for our wheaten terrier (Riley), and she's allergic to all sorts of stuff, including her food (chicken, pork & oats), dust, and random trees and plants... I have to go pick up new food for her tonight and we gotta see what we can do to get the dust under control in our house.
We are hoping to avoid allergy shots and to get off of Atopica ($50 for 15 pills!)...
And our boxer pup (Max) just got neutered last week, and since neither ball dropped, the surgery was more invasive and more expensive... we joke that it cost more to find his nuts than it did to buy him in the first place.
We've spent waaaayyyy too much time and money at the vet the last few weeks!

all the doggies are looking adorable!

I think a LOT of us can relate to that. Gracie takes a pill daily (among others) which is 8 bucks a pop :shock: . Not complaining, though .
P.S. the pharmaceutical companies are not content to screw just their human customers :shh: .

i almost put a belt on him and made him go as Chewbacca for haloween
i dont know what he is to be honest. he's some mutt i picked up at the shelter. my guess is a Retriever/Sheepdog mix. he has black spots on his tongue like a chow, but he isnt poofy like one.
he's awesome though. pretty laid back most of the time, except when its time to goto the park. Doug is one of a kind.

just "some mutt," huh?
yeah, I think sheepdog/retriever is a good guess.
