Tequila, Dec. 1997 - Jan. 2010
I wanted to take time away from the other post to share a little bit about Tequila's life. She's had such a life, always full of some sort of excitement or drama. Here is a little bit about her life. She's been there to help raise (and give a good learning nip!) every Schnauzer that ever...

One of my clients, a senior Greyhound, passed away. She went in for a tooth cleaning. After the cleaning, while getting her off the table, a vet tech accidentally dropped her, breaking her leg. The vet noticed the leg broke extremely easily and the dog didn't even show signs of pain (just stunned...

Remembering Daisy- tough stuff... (thedoc617)
Technically, she passed away on the 21st, but it was a Tuesday, the day after MLK day. Two years ago. It still haunts me to this day. I still can't explain what happened or how. What I believe though, was her passing away was a result of a dispute between my (now) ex boyfriend and I. I was not with...

In memory of our sweet Shadow (shadowsgin) Pic heavy
It was 2 years ago today that we helped our sweet Shadow cross the bridge. It was a very difficult decision, as all of you know and have experienced. He had cancer and was only 4 years old. He was a ball of fire and the light of our life. Shadow, I am certain, was sent to us to show us how to be the...

Run Free, Rex (meg)
My parent's dog, my childhood dog, Rex, went in for bladder stone removal surgery this morning. During the surgery it was discovered that there was too much scar tissue within his urethra and bladder for him to recover, and my parents opted to have the vet not bring him up from anesthesia. My parents...

Missing my Toby
I think I can finally make this post without wanting to cry TOO much. Toby was my last dog, who had only lived for 10 short years. We rescued him from a vet's after getting a call about a dog being brought in from a hit and run and being abandoned by his owner after seeing the vet bill. He was frightened...

She said he had arthritis in his back and knees (we knew he had arthritis...he's been on supplements for at least a year or two), and he was hypothyroid, which...

Losing Logan

Her original mom was able to make it home from Philly to say goodbye. Dh was there also and so was a close friend of mine. Lady was very loved and I am happy that she is...
