    Thank goodness for the doggie thread. I posted here a year ago when we lost our sweet dog Keiko and people wrote such nice things.

    Last night we came back from a week-long vacation and our elderly dog Ernst was doing really badly. The housesitter said he'd been fine until yesterday, then had trouble walking and eating. And Ernst had been sick lately, a variety of things, all incurable. So my husband and my daughter and I sat with him for a long time and brushed him and fed him treats and kissed him a lot and then my husband took him to the vet. And we knew it was time and the vet confirmed it. So, goodbye sweet Ernst. You gave us sixteen years-plus of such pleasure and we'll miss you.

    Thanks PJ fans for reading this. I'll post a picture soon.


    :cry:

    rest in peace ernst

    SCARY MOMENT!!!! A 300# Bruin came around the side of or deck and Petey ran right up to his face and started barking at him! Bear didn't do a thing but stand there. Petey's recall was stellar and so was one of my sons in the house he jumped up and opened the sliding door and I was able to throw both Dobe boys in the house. I always say bears are gentle creatures.....again that thought is proven.

    good for petey's recall...he needs to teach norm that

    i'm up in the mountains for the next couple weeks and normally i let norm off leash on walks but this year i don't think i will as much...although in the 4 years i've been bringing him up here we've only seen 1 bear, i know that if he sees one he'll go after it and he doesn't listen to me at all when he goes into that mode :roll:

    So much news...

    I hope the happy memories of Ernst are a comfort. RIP little fellow.

    Petey and Monty, be careful! You too, Norm! Those aren't big dogs! :shock:

    Glad to hear the move is progressing, imalive!

    We had a fun time at our agility trial this weekend although Sailor fell off the dogwalk (thank God he wasn't hurt!) and then the next day he pooped in the ring as we were two jumps away from completing the course. Right in front of the people at the scoring table. I was mortified. So was he. That was the first time we've ever been disqualified in that particular way. Of course, we've failed to qualify for a hundred other reasons over the years...

    Hard to believe he has earned two champion titles and individual championships in 6 of the 7 tests. From now on, instead of "Sir Full Of Himself" I'm calling him "Sir Poopsalot."

    Tessie rolled her eyes at him, saying, "I've been telling you all along that he's a doofus, but you don't believe me."

    DUH! :roll:

    I guess mortified would be the word, unlost.
    I've had dogs do some goofy things in the ring but never that!

    I'd have probably crawled under the judges table. :shifty:

    Wow, scary moment though! Glad every one is okay, bear included.

    Brown bears are amazing animals. Just fascinating. But, not to be trifled with.

    So, we can't find Sammi. I was having a nap and my mom came in and asked if she was in my room.
    We let her out for a pee when we came home about an hour ago and left the door open for her to come in... Its not like her to walk away we always leave her to come in when she wants, and she's not trusting of other people so she wouldn't leave with anyone.

    I can't get a hold of my bf - he might hvae taken her when he was off to run errands.
    When he gets back if he doesn't have her I'll start to panic... Hopefully he was just being an idiot and forgot to tell anyone he took her............. :? :? :?
