Thats good. To me, dogs return 10 fold what you invest in them. If you look at my avatar right above Dodgers head you can barely see Betty. She's my 18 yr old beagle. Had her since she was 6 weeks old. She's made it through the kids growing up and leaving the house, a divorce, and two other dogs passing on. She used to be a hell of a rabbit dog but nowadays she does a lot of sleeping. Still pretty spry , can still jump up on the bed , couch, and chairs. And doesn't take any shit from Dodger. Being a typical female the little bitch won't hardly give me the time of day. If I sit next to her she'll get up and move. Pretty funny actually. Anyways, not looking forward to the day she goes down. Thats gonna be a tough one.

Trifexis is amazing, but expensive. That being said, it serves as a heartworm pill as well.

I've been fighting major depression for a couple of weeks. My Mama Cat who I've had for 18 years, is down to a few days. I had to have one of her teeth pulled in October, and she developed a tumor in her jaw. She's stopped eating, and I'm probably going to have to take her in over the weekend.
She's slept by my side for 18 years. I don't have any kids, so this is extremely hard for me. My wife and I have lost three of our kitties in the last year, this would be number four, and the one we've had for the longest time. The other three were all boy cats, and for some reason I could deal with that. This is my girl cat, and has been by far my favorite and one of the great loves of my life. I've had no joy at all for about a month now. Just numb. No words. It's time to let her go, but it's breaking my heart to do so. Christmas is going to suck this year without her. Please keep a good thought for Mama cat and me over the next few days. |

Me and the wife adopted Kendall (I hated the name at first as well) but soon enough she was as much home to us as anyone.
I really do think adopting a dog as a part of therapy or after a significant loss can be a huge help. Me and my wife both had a loss at the same time and oddly enough the dog brought us together...

So sorry to hear that. I had similar feelings when I had to put My Rosebud down a few years ago. It's so, so hard to do, but know when it's time that you made the right decision. Part of being a responsible pet owner is doing what's best for the animal, even when it may break your heart to do so. Take comfort in the fact you have given her so much love and affection. They aren't all as lucky as she is. |

They would not sell us the records in the pic and swore they were "her mother's."

Sorry to hear about the kitty George.
I'm not much of a cat guy, but when I have to do that to my dog, I'm going to cry like a bitch. |
