I cant move in my office for fear of rolling the chair over a paw, tail or ear. I haven't been to the bathroom by myself for years. Obviously I need supervision. GPJ and Isabella just come to stupidvise but Miss Skye barks bloody murder at me for peeing in the house! I gotta love'em but I just cant win. L.

They seem to step into our lives and change them, always for the better, with their unconditional devotion and love. I share your sadness... L.

I'm sorry Kari.. L.

Sometimes Amanda, the unwanted or imperfect ones are the best and most heart valuable treasure. You were so very wise to recognize this wonderful boy for the true treasure he has been to you. Pain is the price we pay for love but the true pain is in missing them. I know you miss your Memphis dearly. I so appreciate all the times you shared him with us so we could know him as you do. Hearts heal when they are ready and I hope yours heals well with the pleasure of wonderful memories of your handsome Memphis. L.

What kind of research study is this going to be? Do you have an abstract or research proposal? I'd love to see what you're going to do. I'm sure that it will be interesting as well as very dear to your heart and ours. L.

They are never really gone as long as they live in your dreams, your heart and your memories. Listen quietly and there he will be. I hope your heart heals well with those wonderful memories of your very special boy... L.

Yup! Agree with all the above

There are certain hounds, special ones that pass through our lives, that simply leave an impression, a feeling, an imprint, of gentle and unconditional love. I never had the pleasure of meeting Emmy but grew to adore her through your stories and pictures Judy. Emmy was one of those special hounds that will stay with me as a wonderful memory in my heart just like she lives forever in yours. I know you miss her dearly. L.

Maybe its time for a summer poodle cut!

Gustopher P Jones at 85 lbs and 11 1/2 years old Sleeping=12-16/min Up and moving around doing normal hound things = 22-34/min After zoomies = appx 36-45/min and a return to normal rate after appx 5-6 minutes I know these things because I did this check a week ago simply because I thought he was huffing and puffing too much. L.

After a day that has been so very bad, this has been the best news to make my heart laugh and repair my grumpy self!

I'm sorry that this is happening to Darcy and I understand the worry and fear you must be feeling when you still don't yet know what tomorrow will bring. Please know Bev, that Darcy and your family have been an inspiration to me from the very first and will continue to inspire me always, no matter what may come. She is my canine hero. I will hold Darcy close in my heart and in my prayers as we all wait along side you and hold your hand. L.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear this news. Please accept our condolences. Our thoughts remain with you and your family. L.

I belive you maybe right! I think the topic title is pretty specific for "Ekg" with medical issue not specified. Considering one (EKG) assesses the electrical function/pathways/polarization/repolarization etc and the other assesses via ultrasound the structure function/cardiac output assessment, its safer not to assume. Ultrasounds are probably more expensive than an EKC. Miss Rose had several and with the discount I got it was still rather pricey. An EKG should not be quite as expensive as an ECHO. Thank you for the medical lesson-- I am well aware of the different diagnostics procedures. It was the fact that the OP was taken back how pricey the "EKG" was that lead me to believe that she might have been confused with her medical terminology. An average price of a lead 2 EKG should be around $35 where an echo should run between $200-$400. Big difference. No reason to get snarky. No snark intended....

Yup! My exact thought....

Agree with all of above. Not a good idea.. L.

Did they offer to pay the vet bill?

I'm so terribly sorry. L.

He must have been such a blessing to your home. He will always live on in your heart...

Awaiting pupdate on Gee..Prayers continue from here.

My heart cries with yours Sarah. She is never really gone because she lives on in your heart.

With LOVE comes pain. Its the price we pay. And so well worth every minute for what Rocky gave you. The love of a dog awakens the soul... L.

Holding good thoughts for Huey as we await an pupdate. L.

Rest well Puck.
