The Pet Thread

[Supe]

Stumbled across this pic of my girls on their last birthday. One of my favorites. Absolutely adore these two, though its funny, especially with Ursala (on the right), that I can already see signs of aging even though she's not at all old, especially by Greyhound standards, which can live to 14+ if they stay disease/cancer free.

My dog will be on the mushed up kibbles for a few weeks.

It would appear that the stitches in my dogs mouth don't bother him too much. He kept biting stick when he was outside yesterday. He's not supposed to chew anything hard for 2 weeks until the stitches heal.

But his breath is 100X better and that's worth it's weight in teeth gold.

Good deal. We ran out of the soft food so my wife gave him some of the regular kibble on top f the soft stuff yesterday. Apparently he threw the kibble out of the way to get to the soft stuff. I told her to put a little water on it to soften it up. she did that and heated it a little and he started eating it, but there was some left when I got home later. I think he just sick of it and wants to eat something new. Any people food (crackers, cheese, etc.) I give him he eats immediately.

His breath stinks but only up close, it's not like he stinks up the room by breathing.

If he still wants to eat softish stuff, the hard food might be bothering his teeth. Although, the soft food may have spoiled him and he's just being picky.

Didn't see a thread dedicated to our furry friends. (No, that that kind of furry.)

Here's a pic of my greyhound (retired racer) Ursala that the GF snapped yesterday. Great dog, still having some separation anxiety issues that we're working on.

And for those who don't realize how unbelievably ripped greyhounds are, check out that bicep:

I'm dog sitting for one of my golf buddies this weekend. The dog in question is a 180 lb great dane. It's like having a pony living in my house. The cat is none too pleased with the new development. The 14 lb cat swatted the great dane across the snout when he got too close one time...now the dog is scared of the cat.

The wife found Jake, my 12 yr old boxer, behind the grille unresponsive yesterday. We thought it was heat stroke, but he didn't come around after an hour or so of care inside. Vet took an Xray and found a baseball size tumor on his heart. Not operable. He was 100% Tuesday and I'm taking him to the vet for the last time today. I'm usually a pretty hard guy, but I've cried like a baby several times in the last 24 hrs. I saw this cartoon a few years ago, maybe here I don't know. I cried then too thinking about this day.

That sucks, pets really are another member of your family

 

[NJmike PE]

That is terrible Goodall. I'm very sorry to hear this about your dog. It is never easy to deal with because as EG said, pets become a member of your family.

 

[cement]

That's a beautiful sentiment. Hang in there buddy.

 

[matt267 PE]

Sorry to hear that Goodal.

 

[Ken PE 3.1]

Sorry to hear that. Don't want to think how I'll be when that time comes for my dog.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Sorry to hear that, man's best friend indeed.
