Positive thoughts to Joe. Cats are incredibly resilient, let's hope tomorrow brings good news.

Galaril · 11-06-2022, 10:32 PM

For all that were following along. Joe is back home and with a clean bill of health it seems. The ER vets did a great job to get him to hold food down and his white blood cell count is all back to normal. He is on antibiotics but seems to doing great now he is back home.

Yeah Joe!

Way to go Joe, that's awesome.

We had to say goodbye to our most loyal companion, Gemma over the weekend. She made it 10 wonderful years until cancer took her before we were ready. Knowing she had a pretty great life doesn't make it any easier.

Our Lab is getting on the years too

She was a quarter lab, quarter poodle, and half golden retriever. The happiest of accidents we could have ever asked for. Thank you irresponsible friend of cousin in Ohio

Thomkal · 01-31-2023, 07:35 PM

So sorry IND {{hug}}

Sweed · 02-01-2023, 09:27 AM

Great pics of Gemma. They give us unconditional love and we try to repay them with a great life. It doesn't make it easier but we hold on to what we have and try to take some relief from the pain in knowing we gave them our best. I've always felt my dogs gave me more than I could ever give them.

Sorry for you loss IND.

What a sweetie, so sorry for your loss, big hugs to you and the family, I know this whole process is so hard.

PilotMan · 02-01-2023, 10:05 AM

Very sorry to hear of your loss. We lost our cat to cancer. Cancer is always a shock. She looks wonderful.

That Farmer's Dog Super Bowl commercial wrecked me, and our current little guy isn't even 3 yet.

Same. My dog, Scully, is just six and a half, but it getting a bit grey already.

Edward64 · 05-15-2023, 09:29 AM

Happy 31st Birthday Bobi !! Hope his quality of life continues (and hope he's spread his DNA around in his younger years).

I googled for a breeder near me, unsurprisingly no hits. Think I'll have to visit some forums to find one.

The world’s oldest dog is living it up in his 30s.

Bobi, a Portuguese pooch who was declared the world’s oldest dog by Guinness World Records in February, celebrated his 31st birthday on Thursday, according to a news release from Guinness.

Quote:

Bobi is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, a breed of Portuguese dog trained to guard livestock, according to his owner. As he’s gotten older, he has had difficulties walking and also experienced a decline in his eyesight.

Edward64 · 05-03-2024, 05:15 PM

My turn

Put our 14 year old Lab to sleep today. We had setup an appointment with a mobile vet for Monday but she degenerated pretty quickly so we called a couple vets. One was able to accommodate us late afternoon.

Don't know how vets can do this all the time. It was good process and they said the right things. We were with her at the first shot that sedated her, took about 15-20 min for her to fall asleep, and then the second shot for the end.

Sucks.

GrantDawg · 05-03-2024, 05:57 PM

Sorry, Edward. It is one of the hardest things to go through.

RainMaker · 05-03-2024, 06:18 PM

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure she had a wonderful 14 years and hope you can take some solace in that.

Edward64 · 05-03-2024, 06:48 PM

Thanks all.

It’ll be a little rough this weekend for wife and me.

JPhillips · 05-03-2024, 06:59 PM

Our cat was diagnosed with a tumor today that is inoperable. Luckily we have him for another month or two and my daughter will have time after she returns from college.

Thomkal · 05-03-2024, 07:55 PM

So sorry edward and jphillips.

So sorry to you both, losing a fur baby is so devastating, you will always have those memories to make you smile.

INDalltheway · 05-04-2024, 07:29 PM

So sorry to hear, Edward and JPhillips.. Enjoy that time with your cat and it's great your daughter gets that time to say goodbye.

Sweed · Yesterday, 08:06 AM

Sorry Edward64 and JPhillips.

Ryche · Yesterday, 01:15 PM

My sympathy to both of you.

I lost my 12 year old corgi boy to DM a month ago. Horrible disease, he fought it for two years. He was a happy pup to the end and not in pain but we finally had to make the decision to let him go when his appetite started to go and his breathing was starting to get more labored. Quite sure we timed it right but a horribly hard decision anyway.

Very strange not having a dog in the house for the first time in 22 years. Don't like it at all.

JPhillips · Yesterday, 02:29 PM

Man, the poor guy's tumor seems to be noticeably bigger every day. I'm pretty confident he's going to make it until Wednesday, but I don't know how much he'll last beyond that.
