He came close

Originally posted 2020-06-16 12:44:24. My husband keeps the bandana that our dog, Charlie, wore around her neck on his work bag. He was leaving work last night and noticed her bandana not on his bag. He traced his steps, checked the truck, the locker room and every place he had been to try and find it. He said he even looked several times trying to find it. He got home and was in panic mode…

Furever they go

Originally posted 2017-10-31 14:37:18. The 13 yr old dog, Bear, and the 2 yr old cat, Silas have now gone to their forever homes. At least I know Bear is staying with the veteran that we handed them off to. Silas may go to someone else. As long as they aren’t taken to an animal shelter where I am pretty sure Bear won’t last a week before he was put down. She will hopefully update…

Extra woof with an added meow

Originally posted 2017-10-02 09:42:03. We volunteered to help out a veteran in their time of need. First the unfortunate death of an Air Force veteran. That veteran had a dog and a cat left behind. The family couldn’t keep them so they looked for someone else who could take them. They tried many rescues but no one could take them in the time frame they had left. The dog, Bear, is 13 years old and…

She’s seems miserable

Originally posted 2019-02-22 08:04:09. We have a consultation with NC State Veterinary School’s Oncology Dept. to see what if anything can be done before the dreaded decision has to be made. My husband said he doesn’t want to make that decision. This was their findings. I.E. Cancer… Me and cancer this year … this mf’r needs to fuck off. She came home with a bunch of medications. She’s on the same neurontin as I am,…

Inoperable mass

Originally posted 2019-02-19 18:02:03. As we were headed back to the NC State Veterinary School to pick up Charlie we get a phone call. “Inoperable mass on her brain stem” She is staying there tonight as she was still recovering from the anesthesia. After my medical procedure, Dusty’s psychiatrist appointment and Chewy’s follow-up appointment tomorrow we will head back up there to discuss any available options. He doesn’t want her to suffer but he just…

Originally posted 2017-06-10 20:26:26.      You already might know by now I am a dog lover. Or isn’t it obvious [sce emoji=”wink”/] ?   Over the years my dogs had reoccurring ear infections that found us in the vet’s office quite often to get medication to treat it. This got expensive when it was more than one dog at different times.  After a multitude of appointments with the veterinarian I started looking for alternative remedies or at the…

Not again

Originally posted 2023-05-17 11:54:32. Being my next surgery is May 31st I just need a little break. Now Saoirse needs to try and rest the “good” back leg since that leg takes the brunt of her weight in the back. Now we have been questioning whether we should have went ahead and had that bad leg amputated in the beginning. Is she going to be one of those dogs you see running over people’s feet…

All Buttered Up

Originally posted 2023-05-05 10:00:00. Yesterday was one of those days that you just want it to hurry up and be over. I took Chewy out so many times I ended up with over 10,000 steps being accumulated. I knew he needed to poop but every time I took him out something distracted him and then he seemed to forget he had to poop. Was yesterday a full moon or something? Or was it something in…

Late reaction

Originally posted 2020-02-06 08:00:00. Yeah, this could have turned out so different lol. I get up yesterday morning like any other morning. The exception, the dogs groomer would be here in a few minutes. I go outside to move my car and pull it behind my truck. The groomers mobile vehicle isn’t a small vehicle so I wanted to give her the room in the driveway. Since my husband didn’t get home from work until…
