Lovely dog & photo. I have a Lab who will deliberately lie down in a mud puddle - a mixed blessing. Lots of dog towels.

I’ve had a dog all my life, since I was too small to remember. I remember all of them fondly and think that they made me a better man for having known them and been responsible for them. My 10 yo fur baby is snoozing pressed tightly to my leg as I write this. I don’t know what I’ll do when she passes. I’m 69 and approaching the age that I might not be able to afford or properly care for another one.
We have always taken the runt of the litter, or those dogs that have something wrong with them that would make them hard to give away or sell. My wife and I feel like it’s our calling to save those pups from certain euthanasia. They have all, save one, lived happy long lives. That one, Sheba, turned out to have distemper. We had to put her down when the treatments didn’t work and she was starting to suffer.
I just don’t understand how someone can raise and sell dogs and not feel enough empathy toward them to get them their shots and warming’s when it’s time.

I understand your predicament. My heart goes out to you. My mother is 89 and has a Lasso Apso, and she and that dog are inseparable. She had a stroke last week in the artery that supplies blood to her retina and lost the vision in her right eye. She is having surgery on Monday to clean out her carotid artery and the dog became a problem. I was going to bring the dog to my house for the two days that she will be in the hospital, but she wouldn’t hear of it. She wants my sister to stay at her house so that Daisy won’t get anymore upset than necessary.
The thing is, I get it. I was worried about her dog upsetting mine. The things we go through and will do for out dogs. Ours is like our child. My daughter, who is 50, says that she has a furry sister.

my best wishes for your Mum.
we never had human children, just heavenly dogs...............The house is SO empty without our lad.

That looks like a Cavapoo. Am I right? We have one that's five months old. A wonderful dog.

I feel your pain... We are in our 70s and recently lost out beloved Jack... He was my best friend and we did everything together. We found him in his little bed about 5:30 in the morning... I thought he was still sleeping. Every morning since I think of him around 5:30 in the AM and shed a few tears.... I KNOW how hard it is. The house was so lonely we acquired 2 Maltipoo brothers who brought joy back into our lives... Having 2 is really no more trouble than 1 and they do EVERYTHING together. I pray that you find peace peace since your loss...The tears never stop and they should not...Concentrate on all the good times and be thankful you had those years together. You are in our prayers.

Thanks for looking Guy... he is a Labadoodle with a really sweet personality. He has since passed and is missed every day.
