DOGS

Haha. Isn't this the truth! It's a girl, they said two years old but I think maybe younger than that. It has settled very nicely into her household, gets along with her other dog (and vice-versa), is house trained, and is super chill. It's a rescue so of course you never know what you'll get, but so far this one looks like a winner. :)

Our pair having fun in Carpaforo creek up by Ragged Point. Dogs playing in the water is great to watch.

Sad day here, Elvis Budnicks took his last breath in my hands 12:10pm today
on an emergency visit to a local vet, in the waiting room
he couldn't hold out any more, not even at his reg. vet either

massive tumor Liver cancer for the most part, spleen tumor too
had internal bleeding & very labored breathing, he held out as long as he could

outcome would be about the same even if I had caught it the 1st day
pretty much inoperable supposedly, doesn't make me feel any better

he's no longer in any pain, is my only solace

he will be cremated & I can get his ashes next Tuesday in a nice cedar box

thanks for all the help & talk guys, it means more than you will ever know

RIP Elvis,
my beloved side kick & big boy

Elvis Budnicks Uhl 6/3/2005 to 7/30/2024 I miss my boy,
Here's his ashes below, he's in a nice ern wood box
the 'new vet'
sent a paw print of his & a card signed by everyone in the office a week or so later

strange not having him follow me like my shadow

still looking for a foster/rescue, that calls out to me

almost a month

I'm taking this one harder than normal, my dad has taken it really hard too
he pets/touches the box with the ashes every day, sometime or other & night when he goes to bed
I see the tears in his eyes, makes me sad then too
If my dog wasn't by my side he was laying on dad's feet
or sitting between US in the truck in the back seat poking his head between US

So sorry for your loss! They are like our kids! I know he had a great life and that’s what it’s all about. When the time is right, the right one will come.
 
In my stored photo album, I made a section for our furry buddies. I periodically browse through it looking at our past and present kids. From the past I took a vid for when we had our old backyard redone. We had them put in about 1k sqft of sod for the dogs. It was the first time Neko, Staffy rescue mix, had his own grass. He was a grass roller and was ecstatic that he had his own. Coco and him wrestled around on the grass and were happy. Neko would get his head under her tummy and wheelbarrow her around plus body slamming. Looking back at that always brings back memories.

If we want peace and quiet at bedtime, playtime after dark is mandatory. I have three, (used to be four) glow-in-the-dark balls (I'm on about twelve or thirteen of em, so far )
I hold em under a yard light for 30-45 seconds, and then they have at em.
Fifteen minutes of playtime, peace for a few hours..... till 2 a.m. pee break.
