Sorry. It's simply a killer...I think of my dog every day, without fail, and I dream about him all the time. The only thing wrong with dogs... They're not around long enough.
never a good day to lose a friend like that the love is so pure probably said it before but i have 6 buried outside my window and miss them all my elder akita just turned 8 and i hate to think of how fast things start changing in the later years brutal but what other choice is there? not have dogs so you don't feel the pain? no way sorry about that but the next two days are mondo treat days!
My sympathies, brother. I've been there and I be will again one day. Peace over time to you and the family.
my condolences brother truly one of the toughest things in life dogs give you unconditional love from the day you take them home they also become family members that day too our border collie “timmy” just turned nine, and it devastates me to think of life without him so i choose to focus on all the days we have left with him like diablo said, what other choice do we have again my condolences bro
do you ever think about bringing in an older guy looking for a friend? my love for akitas has led me to really explore the breed and its so misunderstood that people are constantly giving up on their dogs i think going forward i won't be so selfish to grab a pup and seek out older animals that got lost along the way
My friend Steve lived until cancer took him at 68. After he returned from Vietnam, he adopted about 40 dogs. He never had more than two at once either. Why? Because he always picked the oldest, scabbiest dogs st the pound. He saw so many dogs in bad shape in the war that he decided to be that guy when he rotated back after. Great guy. I bet every one of those pooches jumped on him when he walked into Heaven.
I have my gfs dog to take care of, which I'm thankful for, and she was here when I moved in with my boy Murphy. She's a senior now ( the dog and the gf) and the gf says no more dogs until her girl passes : OBEY. I would absolutely rescue and older boy or girl...in a minute. Or two.
After getting fluids at the hospital, he is now eating again, playing ball, smiling, going to the bathroom by himself, etc. He still has cancer and the end is imminent, but I'm glad he was able to come home with his loved oes and do what he loves most (play). I have a compounding issue in that hapiness/joy actually makes me sad. So, it comes from both ends (not now, Irish). Been through "worse", but eventually I have to confront some of the underlying problems that elevate basic grief into prolonged depression. First to admit my generation (and me) is soft.
The fact that you can clarify what's wrong with you tells me you're not soft. And it isn't wrong that you pre-agonize. It just needs address. And it sounds like you are already adressing it. You may feel any way you want to feel. It isn't the 'feeling good' or ' feeling bad' that should bother us. It is the mandating of that pain at the drop of a hat to the rest of us that becomes problematic. Nanny state says we ALL share all pain. Ummm .... No, we don't. But this is a group of like-minded, effed-up Dodger fans. We are the definition of pre-agony. We invented that shit. I say this to my students all the time: everything wrong in the world today is NOT THE FAULT of a bunch of people under 25. Everything wrong with the world today IS because of people my age and older. You are hurting because you anticipate loss. I'm that way. But you aren't off base to distrust joy. You just haven't worked out its brevity yet. But you will. Pets are short time joy that offer life long memories. Embrace that brother. It'll all shake out. God bless dogs ... and us, too.
i don't think you're soft few years back mom's rott got cancer and we had it diagnosed at the house since it was really tough to get him in a vehicle my brother wanted to put him down right then and i disagreed since he was still very happy alive we had him for another 4 months or so before his leg was swelling to the point he was having trouble walking but in that time everyone got to spend a lot of time loving him and cooking for him don't think a dog ever ate that well and to make it worse when they came to put him down i chose to put down a 15 yr old chow mix w him that dog was hanging on but it was just time and they got buried in the same grave like the friends they were it was a surprise to the family and myself as well but i wouldn't have traded the last few months cause a dog doesn't know its coming to an end it was one big party for him and dude used to smile so big did my best to enjoy the time i had left and then it was over i buried them both w my daughters and we cried and laughed and placed the toys and dog bowls w them its painful just to think about it but like Finski says there's no replacing the memories those sweet animals gave me an my family hang in there buddy
not unusual at all everything/one has an expiration date so regardless of how happy we are at any point in time, it is temporary i just try to focus on the good things and deal with the bad shit as best i can btw being true to your emotions isn't soft, it's genuine our dogs are a blessing for us to enjoy, and we to them as well
ok its a public bathroom question i've always hated those ass gasket, paper toilet cover most places supply customers and avoid whenever possible but when i do need them it always seems like they disintegrate while i'm trying to get them placed since the tabs apparently are the strongest part typically i either hover or go for placing tp on the sides...and then the gf tells me i'm an idiot this morning she says everyone knows you just place it and your business will cause the tabs to release... now its not that i haven't considered that but if that doesn't happen you've basically got a pile of shit all over your ass even though she swears that's the deal i still can't get the thought of gasket failure, or non failure, happening in a public place maybe i'll bring a couple home and try them out here lol
I'm economical when public shitting occurs. I use three gaskets plus wads of tp to shield my junk from contact with the porcelain. I get in/out faster than @irish on his prom night. This ain't a home dump. It's war. I also multiflush ... gotta do it.
This made me laugh hard fuck those ass gaskets, have never used them before every time I have tried (not many), I always ripped them trying to get the tabs undone plus they do not cover the toilet seat well enough for my liking I use an ample amount of toilet paper on every part of that toilet at minimum two layers of tp no way in hell am I shitting on those tabs and hoping it breaks the seal I drop some heavy dumps but no way am I playing ass gasket roulette not a chance To respond to your gf, no, it is not common knowledge to just shit on the ass gasket and pray it rips it sounds psychotic and way too trusting
