norm hoping the squirrel comes down from the tree

Norm: Ever the Optimist. Has any squirrel, ever since the dawn of time, come down from a tree to a patiently waiting dog?

Oh yes, here in my yard to some extint last year. I have this one that as soon as Trix turns around, starts down the tree. Then goes back up and teases Trix. it is so funny to watch that i wish i had a video camera to catch it.

Not sure what to say, going back in on Saturday to do some more tests and an ultra sound. Guys things are not looking good around these parts, I am trying to stay positive. I can see that Trix is not the same in the last few weeks, her quality of life is going down and I can see that more every day. I am trying to see this outside the box. Friends and family that come by, often tell me how she is just not the same. I dont want her to be in pain, i am so torn inside. i love her with all my heart. :(


We will be eating a big fat ribeye steak tonight!!!

Nice. Was this at Mammoth? We were at Convict Lake a week ago, then up at Tahoe.

And thanks to everybody for posting nice things about our late dog Ernst. Dog people are the best.

So sorry to hear this. Penny, Django and I will be thinking about you and Trix.

I've been where you are and I know that it's hard. Your heart will guide you and Trix will know how much you love her. You know all your friends here are supporting you any way we can.

PJ_ROCKS

Thanks, norm-phillyfan-whoprincess and all the other great people in this thread for all your support over the years. This thread has made me smile and cry at times, and i have met some great people from this thread.
No matter what the outcome is, I know you guys will be here for me, as i will be here for you guys.

phillyfan, that is what Trix is doing. She will drink water but really will not eat. She goes outside but for only a few minutes, then wants to come back inside to lay down. She stumbles outside when she walks and when she falls I have to help her up.

Norm I gave Trix that big hug, ok like about twenty of them. I start to cry and she just kisses me till i stop.
I have to be strong for her.

Trix loved the ribeye that I cooked last night, I mixed it in with her food and she eat it all.

We're sending good vibes your way. Especially Trix's black and white Aussie buddy Bubba.

So at my work there is a big red, cardboard, octagon-shaped Canada Post bin that looks oddly similar to a fire hydrant - now that i think about it.


...Someone's dog thought it did too.
Guess what the little guy did?


:shock: :shock:

Good vibes, good vibes coming your way. I bet Trix loved that ribeye just like she loves hearing you tell her how much you love her. Although if she's like my dogs she likes the ribeye better.

Some people think dogs can't understand what we say to them - that's crazy. They know exactly. And they know how much we love them.

i hope it's not...but it sounds like it might be....rocky's "time." sometimes, it's the only humane thing to do for our dogs...even though it is devastating for us . stay strong, my friend. almost everyone here has had to wrestle with the decisions you're making.

PJ_ROCKS

phillyfan,

My thoughts are with you also. It is not easy and I know what your talking about, as the vet told me over the phone that this is something we need to talk about also. I will know more in about 3 hrs.

I hope you and your family are doing ok.

Fifthelement

phillyfan and PJ_ROCKS,

So sorry to hear about what you are both going through at the moment :( Nikita and I send out licks and hugs (btw, the licks are from her :roll: ).

I just got back from the vet, she has lost another pound. The vet mentioned lymphoma and we did discuss what to do. He wants to give it one last try by putting her on prednisone. You could see the sadness in his eyes as he was talking to me. He told me to call him on Tuesday to see if she reacts to the prednisone. He told me if she does not, then its time. He also told me that we could do other methods to give her another 6 months, i think that was just for me, and not for her. I cant do that to her, i cant let her suffer any more it kills me inside to see her like she is, she is doing a lot to please me. I cant let her suffer any more!!!
