  1. What time do you feed dinner? odd question, but... my father used to feed dinner around 4 in the afternoon, so 12 hrs later guess what, he had to go out. Not fun. So while I had him away on vacation, I shifted his dinner to 5:30 - 6pm. No need to go out predawn anymore.

  2. Got his ashes back on thursday. My dad wetn down and picked them up. I got him into his memory box from Sarah Snavely already. I got it in March, didn't think he'd be using it quite so soon. She painted it blue and the dog on top is fawn in a great cockroah, I'll get a picture soon.

     

    Thank you all.

  3. lottie did this tuesday night. her nail was broken down near the base, and bleeding. I coated liberally with triple anitbiotic oint, wrapped with gauze and then vet wrap. I briefly considered a trip to the vet, but did not take her to the E-Vet cause it wasn't really an emergency, and still not quite over bring a dog over there but not home :(

     

    Unwrapped it the next day and she, um, took care of the offending nail herself. It is already healing

  4. I guess a person has to be glad that he didn't have to suffer a long painful illness. Yet, when a fellow must leave so quickly, his people have no time at all to wrap their minds around it. I'm sorry he couldn't stay longer. Godspeed, sweet boy.

     

    this is so true, we have had hounds leave both ways. I prefer neither. I was in tears this morning from just glancing at his settee. I was empty, not fawn face hanging over the armrest/pillow watching his breakfast bowl. Only one bowl on the counter, too.

     

    I even feel guilty that I slept well last night.

    Cancer got him, he missed one meal and was gone 9 hours later. My big stoic boy, Red, red dog, red man, big boy, moose and a few others.

     

    One of the first picture I took of him, still at the kennel before he came home with us, (well before affordable digital cameras, lol) I didn't even know he had a ridge, i only saw him in a coat and snood.

  6. he is gone. 4:15 ish pm. cancer, spleen & Liver. his ultrasound was clear in december, 2009 not so todays. He went peacefully to the bridge, with me, my dad, Lottie and our favorite vet by his side. Tomorrow I will pick him up and take him to Angel View for cremation. I already have a SSR box for him.
