A beauty
Prayers for both of you hon
Looks like me, when I look at the Taco Bell menu...
You’ve got ‘em.. prayers up for the pup!
🛐🙏✝️
He just rooted through his toy box and found one of those heavy rubber retriever toys with a rope attached and is wildly flinging it around over his head.
If he lets go of it, I’m getting a concussion or broken nose.
He is a wild one.
So sorry.
Front leg amps are the hardest ones.
:’(
💔prayers 🙏 Up.
Prayers up! this has been a long saga and I hope has a very happy ending.
My sincere prayers have been offered for both of you.
They love to go crazy!
He’s been bonkers since the day he got here.
Never had a Dobe like him.
Totally batcrap and does his own thing, always.
:D
It feels like my whole life has been this forced march through Hell.
I’m just trying to keep him with me until I can find a way to cope with him being gone.
Not doing very well with that.
:’(
My little guy, RIP (last year), would often go a little crazy but he made sure I knew how much he loved me.
He’d rearrange the pillows and stuff on the bed behind me to find a comfortable spot.
As Nully said, Lord, please make me the man my dog thinks I am. I was reflecting on that about 8 hours ago.
I don’t think I could ever live up to the respect my little guy had for me. Had a couple like that. I miss them almost as much as I miss my parents.
I lost my 16 year old Maltese mix 2 years ago. It was time, he was in bad shape. I’ll never get another dog. As much as I miss him, it was freeing in a way. We have no pets, no one else to fret over or take care of but each other. You’ll be fine and have already shown your strength.
Hrafi and I have a weird codependency thing.
Neither of us can bear to be away from the other.
Even if I just go to the kitchen, he howls like a pack wolves until I come back.
When I have to go to the store, he sleeps mostly but when I turn west to come home, somehow he knows and ramps up the mournful howls until I get home.
Then we have the insanely happy “pack reunion”.
I worry to death how he will handle the overnight stay, even if it’s just for one night.
I packed his “luggage” with a crate pad, a throw blanket I’ve been intentionally imbuing with my smell and will send along one of his favorite toys.
I tried to get the hospital to let me hook up a RING camera to their network so I could watch him all night but they said no.
It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that I will go camp out in their parking lot all night.
If I slip in after midnight, it’s just the vet techs in there.
/once sat for 7 hours watching clinic while my Ibizan Djinni was being spayed.
Just to really make things worse, my 17 [18?] year old rescue Podengo Gypsy is on her way out.
I cannot face an empty room.
:(
I cannot live without a dog.
I just can’t.
I’d rather die.
:(
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Done!
Please keep us updated.
I know the surgery is drastic but things will be ok!!!!!
Hugs to you both. PM me if you need to talk or cry or anything.
I’m praying right now.
Dogs are a wonderful gift to us from God.
He’ll adapt, I’m friends with a few local vets that have put bear dogs back together after attacks.
Dogs are amazing at over coming setbacks. We can learn a lot from them.
I’m also praying for after care, infection free recovery.
