Let's See Your Dogs!!

That was a great video - I loved how Bear put an end to it when he'd had enough! Two beautiful bird dogs!

 

Happy Halloween Guys and Gals!!!

 

Happy Halloween!

 

Beautiful pup!!!

But I am partial to Aussies!

 

took my dog into the vet today for a small growth on his neck (which turned out to be a wart) but discovered he had a distended stomach and x-rays revealed a mass / tumor taking up much of his chest cavity and stomach and pushing his intestines upwards. We have a ultrasound scheduled today to get a better idea of what the solution/care is. Doc admitted its not good. So give your furkids extra scratches for me.

 

Great looking dog!!


Breed??

 

Sorry to hear! Hope for the best for y'all! I love my damn fur-babies!

 

Can't like that post. But I can send you all the Mn. Mojo and best wishes we can muster here. Best of luck and hope the vet is wrong.

Thanks! Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (NSDTR) or Toller for short. The pup in my avatar sitting in an empty 12 pound keg of red dot gunpowder was 14 when he passed over the rainbow bridge. The one in my picture will turn 3 yrs. old next month. I've been around the breed around 30 years so guess I'm hooked on them.

 

happy Halloween!

 

Screen shot from a video, she couldn't stop staring at the goats lol

 

got some good news/bad news Got word from the doctor it is a large tumor. No idea if it’s cancerous or not yet planning on doing surgery to remove it. If it’s cancerous it’s a terminal diagnosis and we bought a few months of comfort to him. If it’s benign they’ll remove the tumor and spleen and he should be ok. She’s hopeful after looking at X-rays and seeing the size of the tumor and lack of health issues with him that it’s just a non cancerous tumor on the spleen.

My thoughts, and prayers are with you and your fur buddy. They are the best friends, unconditionally loving.

 

Let's hope it's benign. When will you do surgery?

 

thanks guys. tomorrow, theyre keeping him overnight tonight to keep him calm and sedated and will remove spleen and tumor tomorrow. In about a week we'll know benign or malignant. much stress, my wife is a mess tonight.

 

I couldn't even imagine man. Know my thoughts are with you and your family tonight.

 

On a more positive note, here's tony as a hot dog.

 

Pickles and his pillow fort.

 

He's followed me faithfully across 3 states, from one side of the country to another and north to south. We took him from an abusive alcoholic when he was just about a year old. Came to find out dude kept him in a kennel for almost 20 hours a day everyday of the 1st year of his life. Dude had him out walking him and he pulled the old fuckwad over and on the spot called animal control on dog saying he was an aggressive dangerous dog.. Basically said you'll surrender him or we'll beat the living fuck out of you right here and now. His name is Colt. He's a 10.5-11 year old sleep machine. I heard a few years later the old man died and i cant say that didnt make me happy he was alone and miserable.

when he got to the house I had one rule for him. sleep wherever the fuck you want. He was eager to learn and ended up be the gentlest dog ive ever met. Hes a bit timid at first, old habits. But about 2 minutes later hes sitting on your feet leaning into you.

These 3 pictures are literally the day I brought him home. He aggressively sleeps and leans into you to get petted.

 

My boy Tony is the same way. He sleeps like a crazy dog, probably sleeping 18-20 hours a day (not exxagerating) and when you pet him, leans up on you with all his weight. Thought it was a greyhound specific thing, but must be a trait in more breeds. I think it's the cutest thing!

I'm glad you were able to give Colt a happy and thorough life of joy and saving from his abusive upbringing, and I know he appreciates it as well.
