Duke looks like trouble — of the good kind. Enjoy the ride, Gern.

1:49 am…embarking on my 3rd hour at the ER vet to find out why Piper is pooping straight blood…

Oh man, hopefully nothing serious. Be well Piper.

Sorry to hear this. I hope Piper is ok, and will feel better soon.

I hope she’s doing better now. And you, too.

Awwwww look at this guy. Love black labs. My grandmom had one back in the day. If we were ever to get another pooch, and a different breed, this would be at the top of the list.

Everything okay?

thanks for the good wishes, y’all. we got home at 3 am. we are both tired. we think she has Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. it’s not all that uncommon and it’s tough to know how/why she got it. she got some fluids and anti-nausea meds at the ER. I hope she feels like drinking today….I felt like drinking last night! BTW - I didn’t see a single car on the road on the way home last night….we’re not in vegas, anymore!

Sending hugs and healing to you all.  Poor Piper. Hopefully she’ll be back to her old self in no time.

I hope Piper’s doing better this morning and you’re all westing, Wob.

I hope Piper is starting to feel better. It is so hard when our pets get sick - on them and us. Has she been drinking anything yet? I am glad it was something they were able to quickly diagnose and start treating.

Our last dog was a golden retriever....he died about 8 years ago and it took us a long time to be ready for another.

I always figured we would get another golden but we have a client that breeds labs and seems to do a really good job with them so we gave it a shot.

He's great so far.  I can't believe how much he sleeps...he puts himself to bed around 9-10pm and is fine until we get up in the morning to let him out and feed him.

this “doodle” craze is out of control. just get a real hog and deal with the hair.

Wobbie

get a dog, not a hog.

The cute little guy belongs to a friend and is ready for a home….or, you could pay twice as much, and get a damned doodle with a bitchy, barky poodle personality.
