Old Friend's Time

[spoon]

Just like a few others here over the past year it seems, my long time buddy is not doing well. Had this lil guy since getting out of college and was my first dog, not our family's, but my own.

He recently survived a splenic hematoma (softball sized) that thankfully came back non-cancerous, a vestibular event and now it all seemingly has caught up to him a year or so later. He's not doing well right now, but I'd like to believe he had an amazing 14 year journey with me. They call him the miracle dog at the vet already...here's to hoping he has a few more in him.

[sailor]

Best of luck with him.

[disneyspy]

i'm sure he was very lucky to have you as a pal

[jennysmurf]

I'm sorry, buddy. The fact that you've had him so long shows that you took very good care of him. Poor guy. :-(. Is he the one you used as your avatar?

that type of dog yah

I have two, and the second, younger one is going to be LOST if things don't go well here.


Xrays happening as we speak, breathing still very labored and he's having trouble keeping his eyes open...not comfortable right now, but vet is working on that until we find out what we're dealing with here.

and with that, i'll just say that i hope your puppy gets better (i dont care how old the dog is, i always call them puppies when they arent feeling well)

[spoon]

i do the same...he's always my pup

still waiting ... :unsure:

[spoon]

update

massive elevation of wbc's, enlarged heart and what we think is pulmonary edema...bad

working on a treatment plan, but man he's not comfortable out of nowhere

couldn't sleep if I wanted to

which I honestly don't

:glurps:

[Kevin]

Damn spoon...

Sorry to hear it, dogs become family and hurt just as much when they go through tough times like this.

We have way too few years with these guys, wish they would live longer.

I hate that for you, we went thru the pain with our Lab last Christmas (2011), it is a deep deep pain, I hope it all works out for you.

[spoon]

yah, it hurts to see them age...much less pass

he's ok so far, but I've literally been laying with him almost all day in an attempt to quell his anxiety and lift his spirits

he's a smart dog though, and can surely feel my concern and knows something is really wrong this time

hoping for the best

thanks for the kind words...now let's all rip on WF and sailor

ah, therapeutic

Is he a Mexican dog taking away American love from American dogs?

[spoon]

Is he a Mexican dog taking away American love from American dogs?

ha!

nah, german beer loving pup (Schnauzer) that are used to hunt vermin so WF probably LOVES them that racist slut

[deliciousV]

Is he a Mexican dog taking away American love from American dogs?

don't stereotype, maybe he's legal, not one of those damn siesta taking illegal alien dogs.

[spoon]

I'd say he has a green card, but it ended up being one of these...fucking lying prick my dog turned out to be.

my new dog, well, new since last May, is part Schnauzer, and part poodle (schnoodle) sometimes she's all precious and girly, sometimes she tries to concur shit.

[spoon]

both breeds are very smart and coy for dogs overall

be careful...very careful

my dog actually scared a rottie once to fall to its side and roll over in submission

he would have been DESTROYED if they even tangled a little, but man he has zero fear

[Kevin]

Damn this Obama. He is going on vacations and parties while your dog isn't feeling well.

What a terrible person.

[spoon]

even worse, my dog is black...well salt and pepper, but that probably pisses off WF even more

NO HYBRID BABIES!

or puppies

I am sorry. It's very hard to lose someone you love

Reading this thread from top to bottom I was getting a knot in my stomach. I hate to hear/read about any sick pup, let alone one that I met (however briefly).

Glad to see an upswing at this point in the discussion. Here's hoping the little guy continues to bounce back & is running circles around you again real soon.

[Jayw]

Spoon I feel for you man. Out of all the internet weirdos I have seen in my lifetime your one unique wackjob, and I am sure your pup has your personality. Heres to hoping the make believe man in the sky can give one of the only things you give a shit about another year or two without pain.


Right around my girls sweet sixteen about a year ago she tried going down the stairs, and i heard her tumble down each one, she couldnt move and I thought it was the end. I fucking lost it, she couldnt move, I said my goodbyes. I took her to the vet, the guy did some voodoo magic, which cost me a fucking fortune btw, I think it was around a $600 bill.

Long story short the crazy bitch is still here and seems happy. Though she could care less I exist, unless its feeding time, refuses to piss or shit outside, but will promptly go as soon as she is back inside. She is 17 and a half and I am really hoping this die in your sleep thing is actually real and she does it.

Although I managed to rant on like a selfish maniac about me, I really do understand what your going through.

What do you think is the line in the sand where you pull the trigger and put your best friend out of his misery? I really hope I can make the right decision when I have to, quickly, and not be selfish.

My girl Heidi wishes your friend good luck...(a few years ago)

Rumor is she's a real bitch.

[Jayw]

I hear she shits on the carpet with no remorse.

[Kevin]

Poop Dog.

[spoon]

breathing is way better now, but still not completely normal...much less he's heavily medicated that will surely cost me a ton moving forward

thanks crip and jayw

[spoon]

turn for the worse

really worried now

[deliciousV]

turn for the worse

really worried now

that's terrible man. It's tough being a dog owner, you always have it in the back of your mind that you'll outlive them, it's better than the alternative, but it still blows in the later years. Do all you can, if that doesn't work, do what's right. My next dog might just be a Cockatoo, those fuckers live forever.

(I instructed my half a Schnauzer to pray to dog jesus on your behalf, she looked at me about the way you'd expect)

[spoon]

pulmonary hypertension, enlarged heart and an infection

thought the treatments were helping, but not so much any longer it would seem

having some fainting spells with loss of control too now, so it all adds up to not good at all...despite meds and lots of them

there comes a time you have to let go and let them pass, but this guy is a tough sob and I know he'll hang on to the very end as he just wants to play still with me and my other pup despite never catching his breath

it's like he's running a marathon despite lying dow and his heart simply can't hold up...nobody's could

so sad, hoping this is just an episodic issue with the condition/meds...but it doesn't look good

[spoon]

My best friend for the last decade and a half is gone.

[sailor]

Sorry for your loss.

[PapaBear]

Sorry, man. I hate it for you.

[deliciousV]

So sorry man, I've felt it, and I feel for you.

[spoon]

lil guy died in my arms

[spoon]

my other dog won't stop looking for him...this is brutal
fucking brutal

[deliciousV]

my other dog won't stop looking for him...this is brutal

that really is brutal, I hate it for you.

[Jayw]

God man I cant imagine how it was. I care about very little in this world, and my girl is 1 of the 3.

Just take peace in the fact it had to happen, and from what I read it went the best possible way it could, in your arms.

Stay strong my friend, he had a great life.

[spoon]

Thanks jw.

Zero sleep, just a ton of old memories and what ifs all night floating around in my head.

So sad.

[hanso]

sorry spoon

[disneyspy]

he was lucky to be apart of your life,best wishes

[cougarjake13]

sorry to hear budday

[spe5150]

Very sad news...condolences.

[spoon]

do appreciate it everyone


just a huge hole in my heart right now


he was an awesome, smart, loyal and loving pup

life is so fleeting...the world moves on, even here, and he's just gone

his places vacant all throughout the house, minus my other lil guy who refuses to lay where my lost friend would, staying to his spot and staring at where he'd be...all night, all day. his indents on the couch are still there where he last tried to rest

so sad

[A.J.]

I'm sorry spoon.

Why don't you go cheer yourself up by reading some of WF's political rants?

[Kevin]

He is with doggy Jesus now spoon

You did all you could for him. Gave him a good loving life and did all you could to save him. No human can ask for anything more, let alone a dog.

[keithy_19]

I'm really sorry for your loss. Many thoughts and much love to you.

[mdr55]

Sorry man.

[DarkHippie]

I am so very sorry for your loss. Dogs are good people.

[deliciousV]

I am so very sorry for your loss. Dogs are good people.

better than most people really.

[jennysmurf]

My heart is breaking for you buddy. I'm so sorry.

[razorboy]

I'm really sorry spoon.

[spoon]

better than most people really.

this is the truth

and thanks again everyone

saddest weekend in a long long time

memories and what ifs are killing me right now

haven't slept since friday night

still can't

just seem to stare into the dark and waiting for him to jump up on the bed as he always would and give me a sniff/kiss and snuggle up next to me to crash for the night

:glurps:

it's like sleeping in a foreign place like a hotel without my buddy

[jennysmurf]

Good gravy, spoon, you're killing me.:glurps:

[zildjian361]

Sorry Dude

[Justice4all]

I am really sorry to hear buddy. He was a really cool dog. I know how much this hurts. I wish you didn't have to go through this.
Jane and my thoughts and prayers are with you for the loss of your family member.

[spoon]

thanks guys

he did go to more softball games than the jjon...and helped set them up more too

good pup that he is!

[Kevin]

thanks guys

good pup that he is!

Did he go up to other dogs and say, hey bitch, I set this all up?!

[spoon]

Here's the music I had on for my pup bc we almost alway fell asleep to Sigur Ros, Echos or some classical music and he always just seemed to love it and pass out with me. Thought it would calm him as he passed, and I'd like to think it did.

This song/story from one of Sigur Ros's documentaries is pretty amazing, and the background is touching here/sad too. Always loved the dog just stumbling in at 2:18 and there's one of those odd/seemingly meaningful moments talked about at ~2:34. The dam was not wanted there and some terrible ecological ramifications, and the way the wind was awful going and and just plain stopped for them and the song was nothing short of eerie to me in that neat kind of way.

To my dog...miss you and having you fall asleep in my arms every night.
