Super cute. Welcome, Judy. Will she be gigantic? Or just medium?

Sorry to hear that Smellyman, at least they're giving it some meds that are helping and your able to spend a little more time with Corgi.

Welcomed Judy to our home yesterday she is a sheep dog poodle mix

Cute puppy Buck! Welcome aboard Judy.

Well he isn't technically mine but for the last decade he has been a part of my life and family through my best friend. Soze is a sweetheart of the highest order and ever since I moved out every time I go back for a visit he always spent my first night there snuggled up with me. Tonight I learned that his time is coming to an end and he will have to be put down within the next week or two. I can't really imagine going there for a visit and not seeing him anymore. I will forever miss your voice and spirit my Soze.

Sucks to lose a furry friend, even with not technically "yours".

So sorry to hear this ND. Pseudo let's are just as difficult to say goodbye to. Soze looks like a very good puppy.

Myeloencephalopathy, he is rapidly losing all use of his hind legs, bowels and bladder.

just read up om myelopathy (think it's the same)....bad, bad deal. Soze will be free from her pain.

Poor sweetie. Loss of dignity, whether human or animal, so tough for them to endure and for us to witness.

I'm sorry you will be loosing a dear friend ND.
A big hello to Judy as well!!


Notice the nice new crate on the left, and the cozy bed on the right. Note the brow lump in neither????
I just don't get it, she will only sleep on the floor

hedonist

I love that room, wasa! Especially the fireplace.

(and our cats do that too most of the time...typically prefer a damned box to the "condo" we got for them)

wasa1971

Thanks Hedo!
I forgot to ask.....
Is anyone doing raw food? I've read so much on what I should and should not be feeding that I'm completely confused. This is where the confusion started......

Petey isn't well, but his best day was today. He isn't eating so doc said give him what he wants and let the medicine protect his kidney's. It is more important he eats. So he had chicken and rice and egg whites today. He loved it.

He is retaining water and has very high blood pressure. As long as he seems happy and doing ok.....

When the kidneys totally go and he can't get the toxins out of his body, he will start to feel miserable and it is time.
