[Steveruch]

so sorry about your daughter-in-law's puppy. my heart is broken for you all.

my Priscilla & my Goombah will look out for him until your DIL can be reunited with him at the Rainbow Bridge

Frankly, she doesn't deserve that. Her whole life is centered around scoring more heroin and Bubba was out after dark because she couldn't be bothered to keep tabs on him and make sure he was not out running free in the middle of the night.
This was just one of many reasons we had for getting out of California.

t'is! not many people familiar with the breed. i'm canuck myself, so when it came time to choose a puppy i reached back to the homeland. NSDTRs are right up there with border collies in terms of intelligence, restlessness and troublesomeness (and awesomeness).

I've never seen one in person but I am familiar with the breed. I'm a Canuck too but my flavor has been with Aussie dogs (look at my profile pic).

Kessel's first camping trip, did good on the 2 1/2 hour drive and eventually settled in to the campground atmosphere. He is starting to like water now so maybe baths won't be such a pain. Yeahhh right.

Daisy bird dog can smell the birds on the bird feeder. The agony and the ecstasy.

Daisy just sits still under the bird feeder until the cardinals join her.

About 8 months ago my closest companion passed away. Me and my other doggo and our family have mourned and now my wife and I decided to get a new addition.

Took Charlotte with me today to pickup our youngest from school. She’s always watching people and what’s going on.

I'm not handling this well at all

@GrogNerd i believe that i speak for many here when i say that we're all saddened by this news, and are thinking of you/praying for you/holding you in the light/etc. t'is the curse of dogs - years of love that inevitably lead to a big heartache. but we do it for the love... the love... the love.

our awesome vet, who we view as Howdy's primary care physician has come thru yet again. got him on some steroids, says it also helps stimulate appetite. I don't know if it was that, but about a 1/2hour after we gave it to him, he was picking at his dinner.

a good sign

our vet. we were first endeared to her when she put our Goombah down, it was the first time I had ever seen a vet cry. maybe I just hadn't noticed before, in my grief. but we started asking if she was available any time we made an appointment, or he had his checkup

but then, she literally saved his life. he hurt his back BAD & the local vet neurologist wanted 1000s of dollars for surgery to fix it, which we didn't have. so we thought our only option was to have him put down until our vet called us. said she spoke with her friends at Virginia Tech, which has a veterinarian school. they would do the surgery for 1/3 of what the neurologist was charging.

after a few months recuperating, he was back to his old self & we have been forever grateful to our vet, the local vet neuro & all at VaTech for giving us 3447 GIFTS; 1 for EACH DAY of the EXTRA 9 years, 5 months & 1 week we've spent with our handsome, freckle-faced funny boy

this morning, he ate damn near 1/2 a can of food.

there is HOPE. & thank you guys for the shoulder to cry on. it helped tremendously

 

[GrogNerd]

OMG, it's like night & day. in just 24-hours time, he almost seems his old self again. waggin his fluffy tail, gnawing on a rawhide
