    We put our sweet little dog down today. She's been in doggie ICU since Monday. Hasn't eaten since last Friday. First pancreatitis, then peritonitis, and sepsis. She had a tough week. We all have.

    @Cyclotourist so sad. Sorry for your loss. Great photos - but they make it even that much harder.

    Thanks for the thoughts, all. We're managing, as one does. But yeah, she was a part of the family.
    Not trying to bum everyone out, but y'all are part of the family as well.

    Sorry to hear about your loss @Cyclotourist. Our pets are just as much a part of our family as anyone else is.

    Vacuuming tonight, and it makes me think about her. She's the only dog I've ever known that couldn't care less about a vacuum around her. You'd have to nudge her to get her out of the way sometimes. Cool dog.

    My deep sympathy for your loss @Cyclotourist. We picked up our first dog from a shelter a year ago and can’t believe how much she has enriched our lives.

    Don't believe that cute face for a minute she's an apex predator.

    More normal demeanor

    This has been a fun little project over the last week in between all sorts of BS. The rugrat has been requesting another pet, which I basically said hell no to. But then she got a report card that showed some real progress and effort in areas she'd been struggling in, so off to the pet store we went. I figure this will actually be another good opportunity for her to learn responsibility and care taking as well. It has been a crash course in bearded dragon care for me, and many trips to and from pet stores buying the wrong things, returning them, and hopefully getting the right things. The kid has really been great trying to help out with everything, and is already doing the live bug feedings (with bamboo feeding tongs). The poop though. Holy hell, it's next level odiferous.

    Dragon poop isn't so bad.
    Hedgehog is bad, steer can be pretty bad, pig is just vile.
    Most little rodents are actually pretty good.
    Have fun with the new pet.

    Well I wrote stuff, tried to size it, pressed send and "stuff" deleted. So here's the short version. Dog 180 Lbs needs home.
    Hello Hooligans. I've not been riding, I too am packing/fixing/prepping to leave California. Got a patch of dirt with no neighbors in KS, it's time.

    The Doggy is HUGE. He's young, Verified 180 Lbs. The people got a puppy and it never stopped growing. Get this! They live in a mobile home park. Very protective, male, my Daughter finds homes for dogs. This is going to be a tuff one to find a home for. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

    Stay healthy:thumbsup:. Oh yeah , It's an Anatolian Shepard/Armenian Gampr mix.

    Sounds like the best outcome possible! So good! :thumbsup:

    Give yourself credit, @jimbowho. Bear will have a great life because you cared. I salute you, sir.
