THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...

Today I had to do one of the hardest decisions in my life. Magy, the dog I posted earlier, underwent an exploratory surgery today and the vet discovered cancer in her bladder. Instead of going the aggressive route my family decided to go the humane route. The vet discovered that the cancer was extending further in the body, bladder and urethra so humanly putting her to sleep saved her from months and months of agonizing pain. My family also decided to have the clinic dispose of her body, I signed all the paperwork so it was actually my decision.

I want to cry and feel miserable, but here I am misty eyed and feeling nothing and numb as gently caress.

gently caress this gay earth and pet your dogs.



aww i'm sorry

my dog died a couple months ago

we had decided to do euthanasia because she was in tons of pain and we couldn't help her and she wasn't digesting things but she just died in my arms on the way there

good dogge to the end

Ok seriously, what type of creature is this

It looks kinda like an american akita?

e:Or maybe I just have akitas on the brain because the dog I'm in the process of adopting is one.

My attempts to adopt a dog are going well. Today I took her for a walk, played with her a little, and then she fell asleep on me. It's taking forever since all the shelters around here are no-kill and have taken the opportunity that offers to be selective in who they let take animals.

e: I think I'm approved at this point and they're just getting her used to me so that the transition to my house is easier on her which is fine I think.

I mean at that point you would just carefully put things behind doors with round knobs or whatever, arrange to catch your dog in the act a few times to administer the BAD DOG, and also don't put stuff in your oven and leave the house that's a bad idea regardless of what your dog does.

My dog barrels around like a moron for a few circuits of the downstairs then runs upstairs to wait for me to do the pets.

Yesterday I got a haircut and as I walked back outside there was some guy just walking to his car with a chill rear end real terrier mutt thing just riding his shoulders, back legs on the left side of his head front legs on the right

I was too in awe of this good dog to take a picture though

My big dog has a hurt ACL

She is very good and has taken okay to being carried up and down the stairs though and all of the other limiting things to prevent her from hurting the other one

Please send healing boops, this guy split a pad on one of his paws and won’t stop licking it :(



I've had some decent results with cleaning it with mild soap and then applying antibiotic ointment and a clean sock. it cleans the wound and then the sock keeps the dog from licking the ointment off before some has a chance to absorb in.

also, sports injury doggo checking out where she found some kittens a few days before (mother cat took everyone away about an hour after a big snoot snoofed everything) she goes to see about a longer term brace next friday. she is not a great candidate for surgery since she most likely had the original partial tear before i adopted her 3 years ago so there is a bunch of arthritic complication.

Can she still frolick and sniff and eat treats and get a snoot booped?

Because as a professional dog petter those are my opinions on quality of life.

She can do all of those things still! Mostly it has meant that she gets carried up and down the stairs and the walks are much slower than before.
