Giz/Emma and everyones pets on the board

Oliver! The biggest one, under the futon, his favorite spot.

 

Giz earned her keep yesterday. The shop was starting to go green with the smell of a dead animal under the bench area. Giz came out and went to work under the bench first, tail going 100 mph... nope, back toward the end and the saws. Had a sheet over em and a small metal bucket was near them too. She started going nuts right on top of the saws. Pulled everything off and there was a very dead chipmunk. Got Giz back in the house before she had it in her mouth. Good thing... it was full of maggots? chowing down. Got it down in the woods fast... man did it wreak. Looked like a young whippersnapper... wonder what killed it? Half of his tail and butt were black and most of the fur was gone there too. He'd seen better days.

 

WS... reminds me of the ole story bout' the hawk swoopin' down and scooping up a frog whole and then flying way up in the sky. Frog sticks his head outa the hawk's butt and says "Wow... hey hawk, how high are we"... hawk says "about 10,000 feet"... frog says, "you wouldn't chit me would ya"...

 

Did your tummy do a couple of flips????................................

 

Wow, wildwest!

That's very sad indeed.

I can't like that post, except that you'll be giving her a proper resting place.

Whoever allowed that will definitely get bad karma back tenfold for that.

 

I know what you mean in that department, let me tell you.

my mom and dad had a Pomeranian, it was a girl dog named Sandy. she had a heart murmur and when she finally passed away, I thought my dad was going to lose his ever loving mind.

he cried like a baby, got sick and threw up. it was crazy, they hint around every now and again that wanted to get another dog and I begged them, don't get another dog. You guys are too old and won't be able to take care of it and it'll fall on me.

you get attached 'em and there like your kids. you know one of them dies, you go to pieces you know.

that's why I don't want to own another dog.

 

Yuck!

 

Yeah, it sucks. It's the worst part of having a dog, but, it goes with the territory.

However, the pluses far outweigh those last few moments of their lives.

Dogs give non judging love. They greet you at the door when you come home from work. They don't care of you had a crappy day, they just want to make you happy. If they can't, they commiserate with you.


I've got one dog at each end of their lives here, and one in the middle. I've got a 14 wk old English lab, a 5 yr old American lab, and a 14 yr old American Brittany.

Sadly the Britt isn't doing well, took a real turn for the worse, and it appears next week I'll have to take her in. She had a vet visit 2 weeks ago, and she was diagnosed with a tumor in her abdomen, most likely cancer. She's on tramadyl, to keep her pain free, but this is just temporary, as I know at some point she'll not be happy.

 

Can you feel a lump on your oldest Horkn?

I am asking as I just found one the size of a quarter on Emma's abdomen yesterday and not sure what the hell is going on?
Hoping fatty tissue.

Hope things go well with the Brittany.

 

So are the rest us!

 

You should get one of these Dave.

 

Betcha the cop was laughing.

 

My honey just walked by and said, you're gonna hafta make one of those for our grandsons.

 

"Is it ok to bury her here?" ... I bet DH can find a nice spot out by the back fence, lookin' at the mountains, to lay her down...
