This thread has me wanting to adopt another rescue

That picture of him in the chair with the beer is great. It's amazing how much personality and love can fit in such a little package.

Double dog dare ya!

Tomorrow will mark one year since i lost my beautiful Breesy boy… hard to believe… the world is definitely a little less bright, and a little less fun without him in it .

Sympathies.

There’s only a handful of humans whose death would sadden me more than my dog’s.

Sorry to hear about all your animal loses.

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Thank y’all for indulging me in the opportunity to keep my boy’s memory alive with this thread, along with the memories of some of y’all’s babies…. today would have been his 15th birthday .

So it’s been a rough day/night.. i heard from my ex wife yesterday- unfortunately we lost our other dog.. “her” dog….. 14.5 yrs old.. i was never a fan of small dogs but this one stole my heart.. she only weighed 4 lbs but she ran our house and our entire lives … they were the closest thing we had to kids and we spoiled them as such.. but i promise you that their lives were the envy of any other dog who ever lived, and even some people .. RIP Nila

Lost one earlier this year and today found out my remaining one needs surgery for a mass

Oh man, good luck with that. I lost my boy last year not quite a week after having a mass removed. We first noticed it when he turned 7, it was about the size of a golf ball on the side of his right shoulder. By the time he turned 10 it was bigger than a baseball, and we decided we should go ahead and get it removed while he was still strong and healthy.

The procedure was on 11/30 last year and everything seemed to go fine. He finished post-op medications on 12/5, but early in the AM on 12/6 my wife woke up to find him in shock, and within about 10 minutes or so he passed.

He had apparently suffered some kind of internal hemorrhage and bled out internally. It could have been completely coincidental, or it might have been somehow related to the anesthesia, we'll never know for sure.

I do know I'll never not wonder what age he would have lived to if he hadn't of had the surgery, and honestly it weighs on me daily. He was very special, the best dog I ever had. It felt like a cruel joke to lose him like that.

Man I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about Dreux, man. Losing a pet is the absolute worst. Sounds like you gave him an amazing life though. That's all we can really hope for, right?
