Thanks everybody. Even yesterday I thought he might rally. He was in rough shape but he was a tough guy, and he'd gone through a couple of other bad spells in this process. Last night when I went to...

Thanks Dibs and Carmine. Tough day for sure. I thought he might make it a ways further but he faded fast.

I know about Ava, right? Two of them in less than a year, geez.

Thanks fellas.

Hook died last night. That was a good dog. RIP big boy.

Woodsy, so sorry to hear about your pup, sorry but I don't know her name. Hang in there man.

Hook has had 2 rounds of chemo and he's on prednisone and Denamarin for his liver and I did some...

Thanks. It's pretty well spread. Started him on chemo and prednisone today. Maybe 9-10 months at the outside the vet says, but substantially less with no treatment. Right now he's himself so we're...

Took from Monday to today to get a diagnosis of Histiocytic Sarcoma for Hook. That’s not good. Tomorrow morning he goes in to see how far it has spread. Been tough around here the past...

RIP doggies. Fuck, Tucker hits home, I knew Tucker. Sorry C.

That sucks. Sounds about what happened with Ava. So fast. Sorry man.

Thanks guys. It's been a rough day.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks. Such a shocker. She was fine 3 days ago. Still processing it.

Beautiful sweet Ava.

We lost Ava this morning. Beautiful Bernese-Golden mix. 6 years old. Up until 3 days ago she seemed fine. Yesterday she basically collapsed. Hemangiosarcoma. We've had a lot of dogs, still have 3...

heh, Sasha's mother was a Czech-born GSD and her Dad was a big black dog who climbed over a 7-foot fence and the kennel couldn't chase away for 2 days. Vets over the years leaned towards some sort...

@cono: Oh that happened 4 years years ago, sorry I didn't make it clearer. My bad.

Sasha was the baddest-ass dog ever. I wrote about her on here a number of times. But she suffered terribly from arthritis in her later days and her range of where she'd go got smaller and smaller....

Oh man. He's not far. Sorry brother. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe everybody knows about this place? I just heard of it.

Guy is a painter working on my house, I was like "...but...",and he was like, "I'm painting here, fuck off, the dog's fine."

He didn't actually say "fuck off" That wouldn't have been wise for...

Met a guy today, his dachsund is 17, blind, incontinent, and can't walk without assistance. There comes a time, in my book.

This iteration of the dogs is aging pretty fast.

I'm getting pretty tired of putting dogs down but I'm not sure if the other option (no more dogs) is better going forward.

Dogs should live...

Ken, and Johnny, hang in there guys. Been there and not looking forward to going back but the day always comes.

Got 3 dogs sleeping within 10 feet of me right now, all of us getting older...

Nah, there's 3 other dogs and they can go in and out through the dog door, plenty of land, woods, etc. etc.

He probably needs a job. Smart little fucker.

One of my dogs (the little one, some sort of miniature keeshond or something, not sure what he is), has gotten progressively more afraid of loud noise over the past couple of years. He's six, we...

My mom's dog Franny, a soft Wheaten Terrier, died yesterday at 14. After a lifetime of dogs Franny was my mom's last. Mom died in '05 when Franny was 4 or 5. Franny had a good long life, I feel...

Bobby I don't know how many times you've been through this, I have a lot and it sucks but when you're doing the right thing it doesn't suck as much and pretty soon you feel good that you stepped up...

Ginger has cancer too, but she's 14 and it's advancing very slowly.

She hates having her picture taken:...
