If this is how 2008 is going to be I'm taking the year off

Well my best buddy and faithful companion Bambino is going to be leaving me soon

if I can ever get to the vet's that is. Had to take my dog into the vet this week because he had been pee'g blood and having control problems. Turns out he was totally blocked back up to his bladder. Left him in last night so they could cathaderize him and try to drain it but this morning the vet said xrays show what look like 2 tumors in the bladder

Long story short we made a quality of life decision for him(he's almost 14 yrs old) I get ready to leave work and my left rear tire on my truck is flat

picked up a nail on the way to work this AM. So now I'm sitting here waiting for a call from the garage around the corner that the tire is replaced so I can drive to the vet to say good bye to my buddy. Talk about a real ****ty day. Think I'm going to indulge heavily tonight.

Yeah, those kind of days really suck. Tomorrow's a new day, though.

Wow, that really sucks. It's never easy to have to make a decision like that. I'd definitely indulge heavily tonight if I were you.

Wow. That does suck. So sorry about your buddy...it's hard to have to make those decisions, but you're doing the best thing for him. Be extra nice to yourself and take care.

Sorry to hear about all of that, bro. Not an easy decision that you had to make, certainly not... but sounds like you did what was best.

Have a drink, and remember, it can only get better from here!

**cubbies** · 01-04-2008, 06:25 PM

Wow, I am very sorry to hear you are losing your pal. I think some people dont quite understand how attached we get to our pups. I''ll drink one to you and your pup tonight.

Professor Frink · 01-04-2008, 06:39 PM

I'm sorry man. I know how it is getting attached to a dog. I'd take a bullet for my dog before I would for most people. Have a few drinks and remember that at least he won't be suffering.

I'm sure this sucks....our almost 15 year old pup is slowly going too

**Yooper** · 01-04-2008, 07:58 PM

Oh, I'm so sorry. We just lost our 14 year old dog in October (we made the decision that it was time). We're still not over it. I guess there is a small comfort in knowing that they have been a faithful companion over the years, and you can end the suffering and hold them and say goodbye.

And then the flat tire on top of it. That really sucks. Have a few tonight- I assume you don't have to work tomorrow? Sometimes a few beers really does help.

I'm so very sorry to hear that. Have a few or more than a few. It might sound stupid or corny but time heals all wounds, but leaves us the scars so we remember.
My thoughts are with you.
