Thanks Flake. He's fine now after a whole cocktail of meds. The scariest thing was his eye. He must have scratched it or something he had an ulcer on his eye, with secondary uveitis which is painful and horrible to look at. He is fine now, he's back to his old wild self and reminding me what squeaky toys sound like at 6 a.m.! Prayers being said for all pets who are in need of them.
Good to hear this.

Asking for some thoughts today. Or maybe just an ear for a few minutes.
We had to say goodbye to our fifteen year old Bichon/Shih Tzu 'HAWKEYE' yesterday after a few hard months of declining health. He was starting to lose muscle ability in his back legs and was struggling with multiple ailments in his later years, specifically Cushing's disease and liver issues.

My wife, who works in a vet clinic, kept him going comfortably via medication and related therapy until it was evident that he was suffering beyond available intervention. She had researched his conditions endlessly, for years, and I can say she gave it her all (and more) for him, though today she feels like she could have done more at the beginning and thinks that she gave up on him. She says she knows she did the right thing for him in putting him down, but like all pet-parents out there, the guilt is ever so present.

The kids are devastated, our other small dogs miss their buddy. We buried Hawkeye with his favorite stuffed toy in the yard between two cedars, where we can see from the kitchen window.

I'm in the supportive role, trying to keep everyone together, but I am strangely reliving the loss of my dad, who died of cancer ten months ago. Not a good day today, but not a bad day. Just a reflective one, I guess.
I'm rambling on... so I'll end here.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Loss is loss, whether it's our human family or our pet family. We had a cat that we let go on too long, and I'll never forgive myself for that. I'll never do it again, even for my beloved Lulu. Given her experience, I'm sure your wife did the right thing.

So, I've been gone a while. That is to say I have not been here in body, but please don't think for one minute that I have not been thinking about you goodish folk and sending you all the good thoughts I could muster.
Life has not been unfair to me, nor have I been struggling outside of what is natural for all of us to bear in our journey to be human... or is that bare, no it's bear... I think.
I just thank goodness for all the good things I have, like legs, fingers, a strongish back and constitution etc. but most of all right now, A NEW COMPUTER!!!
I'm not big on "God Bombs" per se, or even know what they are, but I'm pretty sure being able to hang out with ya'll again is one.
