That is wonderful! Keep those signs coming Pegasus! It makes mommy feel much better! There is a huge comfort in those. I hope you are able to smile more at Pegasus' memory than cry these days. I know the pain first hand. Take care.

That is awesome Suzie! Just last weekend I was telling my in laws about Miss Nellie and her goggles. She is one of the stories I followed closely. She has a place in my heart, and I never met her. She was special and your loved showed through soooo strongly! I am so glad you got a sign. It makes such a difference (once the tears stop again). It is a comfort like no other! She has been a busy girl in Heaven I am sure! Sadly, she has a lot of great company. Run free babies and enjoy all there is up there!

I will say in Konas last night with us, I saw serious use for a muzzle. As I went to put my two little ones to bed she apparently tried to move (and couldn't) and turned vicious. Now mind you, she already connected with me when I tried to help her, all the way thru my thumb! As Kona started her vicious mode both Shanti and Nala ran over to help her. Nala has enough hair for 20 dogs, she would survive it. I was so afraid she would connect with Shanti and tear her to shreds! Sadly, Kona spent her last night with us gated in. Now my husband did stay on the floor with her all night...broke my heart! And as we tried to get her up and to the car for her final vet trip, she tore at us! This is when I learned nylons make a decent muzzle in an emergency. It would have been nice to have a real one. I do believe I need to have one on hand.

I have never muzzled. Nor do I have one...she did not come with one. Guess I should get one! Yikes those injurys are scary!!!! Now out of fear of dog packs, I don't let her out with anyone but my Nala. Never in my wildest dreams would I think she would do anything, but I guess some of you thought that too!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry! Run and play with the angels sweet girl.

Someone pointed out to me that the years of love and devotion you get from them will override the HORRIBLE pain of losing them someday. After just loosing one of my babies, I say now that I will not get another dog either. I know I have to go through this two more times. Not sure how, but those days should be a long way away! Cherish the memories you have of your baby. She is watching over you until you meet again someday!

This is wonderful. Made the tears flow yet again as I sit here one week later from the "3rd day". That day changed my world forever! I will welcome the "4th day" when it arrives! THANK YOU!

My deepest sympathies! It took me days to post to you, sorry. My heart is currently broken from the loss of our girl on Saturday. I know the pain of losing one, I can only imagine the pain you are in losing two! I know time stops the tears, but barely lessens the pain. Our thoughts are with you too! Take care.

Thank you all! This is strangly one of my big concerns...who is up there she knows to help her adjust. Find Ramsey Kona! I hate the thought of her making that journey by herself. Thank you, Thank you!

My dearest Kona.... It is through a flood gate of tears I type this. You were absolutely the best dog ever! You came into our lives 14 1/2 years ago when we rescued you from your abandonment at a Carls Jr. Life has never been the same sense. You were a best friend, travel companion, and the best confidant one could ever ask for. We will cherish those years forever. I am sorry you were in so much pain your last days, we tried to help but in the end we could not make you comfortable. As much as we wanted you to stay with us forever, it was not fair to you. So as much as we hurt now, we know you are running free! Enjoy all there is in your new life. We will look forward to meeting up with you again someday...Hunter even told me we will see you again in Heaven. Until then, know we love you more than words can say. Goodbye sweet Kona till we meet again! Jenny, Scott, Hunter and Trevor

I am so sorry to hear you lost her. As she crossed to the bridge, she is pain free. There is comfort in that! Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

I use a heavy duty acrylic nail file. On my grey I can easily do 3 out of 4 legs. She HATES her left rear being done. I am guessing she has an old injury to that leg. I actually bought clippers today. I will test them out on my Shepards first. They are easier going about new stuff.

Voted other. My grey is on Soloxine for low thyroid. She does great on her medicine 2x day with her meals. No big deal. Only have to test once a year unless she gets strange on me.

My oldest Shepard mix barks a lot! She is old and a little senile... My other Shepard mix used to bark constantly to the point police were called on me. Now she NEVER barks. Apparently she got it out of her system. My Grey, every morning, every evening and if we are within ear shot of her outside. She is a talker! To her defense, most of the time my Shepard starts it, she joins in. Mornings and evenings are just to get our attention I think.
