    Carol and Petey, my heart is just breaking for you. I don't know what kind of treatment options are available for Petey for the limited time he has left but it's clear to me that NO ONE could love him more than you do. He has had the best life any dog could have with you and in his time remaining will receive the best care.

    Even though I don't know you, I've felt a special affection for you and Petey through this thread, in part because of my own dog that was named Petey. But also, as someone who has trained and shown dogs in Obedience for 20 years, I can see how caring and responsible you are toward him (and all animals).

    I don't know what else to add that hasn't already been said except that I'm angry at the unfairness of this. This is so wrong. Take care of yourself, as much as you can. I know you are taking good care of Petey.

    Carolyn

    I'm sorry

    Poor Petey...this has been one of the worst years I can remember in hearing bad news

    Good Luck with everything give Petey a great life while he is still able to have one

    D2D...I wish that were true for Dobermans, his time is very limited now, he is already progressed. He had a episode during his 24 hour heart monitor test of 288bpm that went on for 80 minutes, that alone could cause sudden death. I can not believe this is happening to my beautiful baby. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. I will give him the best life possible for the time he has left here with me. I am the kiss of death to dogs, none of mine get to grow old. They are my favorite part of life, and at this point I don't think that I can go through the pain of losing them so close together anymore, Petey is my dream dog, waited 22 years to finally get my Red Male Boy...he has been such a blessing everyday. I know there are reasons why everything happens, but this one is really hard to understand. Why 3 years old?

    Out of ALL the people in the world, this has to happen to YOU....AGAIN. :cry:
    I must say this bummed me out. However, you know me, I only know how to be positive so I'm gonna pray for a MIRACLE that he survives this. :) The biggest hugs in the world to you my dear friend.

    You guys are in my thoughts again today.... and will remain.

    It's very unfair that this would happen to you, the super owner, and to Petey, the super dog. There are no reasons, I don't think. Stay strong.... we're all pulling for you.

    Anyone here ever have a doggie eat another dogs shit?
    I haven't but, but I was at a friends house and experienced this grotesque behavior, I almost tossed my cookies..sorry for the disturbing image but just wondering if the dog is fundamentally flawed or if he can be trained not to eat shit anymore?

    again, sorry for the unpleasant post, but you know...what are you gonna do?

    That's not abnormal, they're dogs after all. Shit is a delicacy to them.

    The only advice I can give is this: Keep your dog away from cat shit.

    Yeah, it's gross. One of my dogs taught the other to do it. :problem:
    There are things like this you can use that will get them to stop. You have to use it again every so often.

    Thanks so much everyone for your well wishes for my Petey! Life will go on as normal for the time he has left with my family. He is presently sleeping in a sun spot on the floor. Yesterday we went for a 1 hour hike, because that is his favorite thing to do of all. He will get more treats, because gaining weight is no longer an issue...living out his remaining days in pure pleasure is.

    *May the Peace of the Wilderness be with YOU*

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    I haven't been in here for a while, sorry I'm late on sending my condolences. I've learned your name is Carol, I hope you don't mind that I refer to you on a first name basis, I'm Dave :)

    I've seen posts of your beautiful boy Petey on here and the news breaks my heart. My family (girlfriend and our two dogs Zeke and Riv) send our love your way. We'll keep you and Petey in our wishes and highest hopes!

    Be well!

    PJaddicted, I'm very sorry to hear about Petey. It sounds like you already know he has a limited time left. Did the doctors give you a timeline, or do you know this from experiences with your other dogs?

    You all are in my thoughts.
