Our family dog of 14 years died today. She was a great dog. Border Collie. Wish we had given her more attention though. 

Sorry dude.  I have a 16 year old shepard mix.  Deaf, 1/2 blind but still sharp in the head.  Metacam keeps her arthritis under control but she will be gone soon

I have a 5 year old Lab mix that I have to run with twice a day to keep her from having a stroke this weekend when we drop her off at the pound. If this keeps up she'll be gone soon too. The hard way.

[Diomedes]

Drop her off at the pound?  You're giving her up?

Kennel. Just for the holiday weekend. If she's lucky.

I'm joking of course. She just has a farging conniption every time we leave her for more than 10 hours and it takes her a week to calm down from it. I'm already dreading it.

My farging puppy is like valium dog. She's just chill all the time. She plays and all like a puppy should, but never gets rowdy, especially with my daughter. Also with the chewing, she doesn't show a lot of interest in chewing on any of my shtein. She's also taking to training really well, sit, stay, go lay down and all that. She's a retard still on the leash, and will piss when on leash, but in order to get her to take a shtein, I have to take her off the leash and let her run in farging circles for ten minutes first.

My English Lab Boomer is now 3.







Best dog I've ever had. He knows what I'm thinking before I say anything. He has a great attitude, as you can see by the look on his face in the closeup.

Well, after 11 and a half years my parents had to put our dog Kauai to sleep today.  He was diagnosed with cancer back in June, melonoma/carcinoma in his snout/jaw.  They gave him 2 weeks to live, he fought, waited 3 weeks for my brother to come home back in July, and fought all the way up till the past week.  He couldn't really eat, and was withering away.  He still had some moves in him, he still was running outside with my golden chase.  I'm gonna miss the farger, he was always there.

Sorry to hear that, sb.

[Seabiscuit36]

thanks Phreak, my dad is really distraught, this was his best friend.

Cool lookin' pooch. Its crazy how they become attached and seem to hold on for their owners. My mom had a boxer that she absolutely loved. When she died, she looked at my mom made like a gruff noise and then died. Sad stuff.

that sucks sb.  why dogs live such short lives and people live longer is beyond me.  dogs would rule the world far better than we do. 

i posted probably close to 6 months ago that my nearly 14 yr old pooch was nearing the end.  farger is still alive.  he's almost blind so sometimes he walks into furniture but other than that, he's still doing fairly well.  my main concern with him now is his back legs.  he's starting to have a hard time getting up and occasionally will get his back legs crisscrossed while walking.    i plan on heading to philly for about 10 days over xmas and really don't want to put him in a kennel at this point because he requires so much more care and attention than just 1 year ago.  tough spot for me because i don't want to put him down just so i can go away for a couple of weeks but at the same time, i don't see him lasting that long in a kennel either.  farging sucks.

here's a pic of him......probably about 8 or 9 years ago when he was all pup and no geriatric

Dogs are awesome. When I was a younger I had a great Golden mix that got cancer and died when he was about 9. I was away at school, but I was the one who got him from the pound when he was a pup. He held out until I was able to get home. He couldn't even move at the time, but when I came to the door, the tail started thumping...and that was about it for him. It was like he was waiting. That affected me more than when a lot of people bit it, honestly.

I swear, my parents dog is a lush.  That is how she sleeps.
