Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
And, it seems, the hound run faster.

Summer cut for our pooches. Look at how shabby and tired they looked before… 
Sorry for poor quality mobile pics.

Makes me think of how often I remember pets’ name rather than owners’ name at dog park, etc.

Lovely 
Thank you. It is a battle of wills requiring much patience. They were so excited afterwards they sprint around the house like crazy. The boy also messed up his bed and his sister’s. I don’t know if he was excited or too traumatized that he needed to let off some steam. I am choosing to believe he was ecstatic.

Sad day. I have had to let the old boy pass on.
The cancer on the side of his face was the one of his ailments that took him. We just couldn’t keep the wound clean and wholesome.
He took his time wandering into the surgery. Sniff here,pee there.
The girls were kind and to go surrounded by women was probably his best possible send off. Apart from a last dinner of Spam.
God speed and thank you old timer. I enjoyed those two and a half years.
Not sure what I will do with myself now.

So sad, but he has had a great two and half years, thanks to you. He was a wonderful character and myself and Mrs T loved seeing and hearing about him on this forum. He was an honorary member and he will be missed by us all. He will always be there with you, living on in your memory. Take care.

So very sorry. It’s such a hard decision I know only too well, but all we can ever do is what’s best for our companions even though it breaks our hearts.
Thinking of you.

So sorry Nick. It’s such a tough decision to make but he will be curled up on a cloud over the rainbow bridge and at peace. You gave him a great Two and a half years and brought him so much comfort and joy.

Sadly, Sprocket had to have his tail shortened. He had a problem with the tip of the tale - hairloss followed by the exposed skin cracking and ulcerating. I had been going on for some eighteen months with no improvement. It was obviously bothering him and we decided, with the vet, that partial amputation was in his best interests.
The irony is that this length was the original breed standard, as my previous miniature schnauzer had her tail shortened as a puppy by the breeder. I miss the full length tail though, as it was so waggy and expressive.

Very sorry to hear this Nick. It will be terribly quiet until another dog needing your love finds you.

So sad to hear that news. You must be heartbroken. At least we know he had a good life with you. We lost our dog in August so we know how much it hurts. Stay strong. Best wishes.
