yes .. I think of them often ..esp my two boys, mitchell & kieran :)

Doesn't seem very long, does it ?

x1 :) healing vibes sent

msdani .. at this stage .. give your little dog whatever the heck he wants to eat!! low fat versions of ice cream, salmon, fresh roo , scrambled egg, ..... whatever. It really is now a time to just let him enjoy whatever he can ,

There's no 'just' :) she was loyal and devoted ,and you were hers ...

That makes sense , Ams ...and I do so hope there is a legitimate reason like that :)

with some of these stories I am reminded just how strong and secure a 'false joint' can be .. formed by muscles closing in and supporting things. keep us posted on the handsome Cooper :)

P L .. any queries on your Pom's appearance, etc will probably be best suited to THIS THREAD :)

.. It could be a flea product, or a shampoo , or .... who knows. I too, advise allergy testing , so you know exactly what the problem is , and so manage it :)

..and I bet she begs for dinner!! Glad she's OK. Now.... for a kiddie proof lock on the freezer :p

ohh, so sorry indigirl .. R I P Chilli ... you were loved so much, you were given the gift of peace .

Hope everything went ok at the vets .....

where does dog travel, and how is dog contained? I would suggest ginger tablets , or glace ginger pieces ....no sedation or anything :)

That is a BIG update :)

OH Dear It's these times when we are both angry and devastated that our dogs have such a limited span of time with us. The fact you are questioning , tells me that you have 'almost' made a decision.... Your poor boy is tired, and he has been battling these last weeks .... I always look at what quality of life an old/ill dog has ..and will treatment bring better quality of life- or yet another struggle ? If you bring him home , will he , and YOU be relaxed and happy ? Will he be guaranteed no pain ? Will you be able to look at him without feeling guilty and so , so sad? It is a horrible time - and from my experience , it is the WORST time .. . Once an old/ill pet has been given its wings , and is finally out of reach of all pain and sadness ... there is, for me, amongst the loss and grief, a feeling that I have done what is right - I have sent my pet on its way before life is 24 hrs of pain & confusion . I will never knowingly let a pet of mine get to the stage of being so ill as to not still enjoy food , or a sleep in the sun ..I prefer to have the memory of them enjoying something , still :) I can not tell you what decision to make - only think of how your boy is feeling .... do you think he would want to fight on ..? Thinking of you , and wishing you strength .

she does :)

How about straight out of camera? NO editing . We can play around with getting results , both accurate and 'interesting' by adjusting composition? speed/ISO, focus , etc ? Anyone game? :)

fingers crossed that it is 'only' a fatty lump.....

Yes, and yes :)
