good for you mike. we have a 12 yr old lab/ german shepard mix that has a few other breeds mixed in and a 3 or 4 mo old lab/pit bull mix. labs are bright as hell and well can be very protective too so thats good.

i have to laugh though because Midnight is the name of our 6 or so week old kitten that we added just earlier this week. he is a handful and well mystic still growls at him when he gets too close but other than that they seem to be coexisting together without much rebelling from mystic WOOT.

Thanks guys,just got back from the shelter,this isn't my first loss of a four legged friend..and though there is no "replacing" one...( in the past I have sworn to never again open myself up to the loss) there is really only one way to heal the hole...so I just "rescued" a lab/ retriever mix,black as night ...so she will be called midnight.....I hope bootsie warms up to her

How wonderful for you! And how awesome for Midnight!

Garlic powder to repel fleas? I hadn't heard that. I'm always looking for something non-chemical but it's usually a failing battle. With 4 cats and three dogs and a vast array of wild critters outside I occasionally run into flea troubles. How much do you use? And is it effective with dogs too do you think?

As I said there is no replacing my beloved snuggles...and getting another doesn't take away the awful pain I feel...but I know it's a start to the healing and maybe the tears will stop flowing a little sooner.
Bootsie still followed me tonight on the walk...but did so at a distance...and doesn't seem to like the idea of this "midnight" girl in her house...but 10 year old snuggles had to learn to coexist with a kitten...so one year old bootsie will need to accept Midnight.

I have tried everything including garlic powder. You just sprinkle some on their food. But really, no matter how poor I've been or how much I would like something "natural", the only thing that really works for me is Advantage.

My condolences on your loss...I know how hard that is.

Best of luck with your new family addition. Hope she and bootsie become good friends :)

Mine are being all kinds of brattiness today. I'm practically hoarse from yelling at them.

yes and it works for ticks too.

just put a layer on top of each bowl of food that you feed the 4 legged babies and what it does is make their blood taste nasty to the critters and they leave them be. not saying that its fool proof but it helps reduce the need for constant flea dips and such that way all you really have to do is maybe an occasional flea dip and keep the flea collars on them.

its healther for their hearts and all and will keep them alive longer as long as they arnt dare devils that try to kill themselves.

its effective for all 4 legged critters. so make sure you add it to each time you refill the food bowls otherwise it wont stay in working.

well other than the waking us up at all hours of the morning, Midnight slept on me most of the night, Mystic is warming up to him quite well still no rebellion potty spots WOOT, Blondie is being a rebellious brat on the potty training on occasion but she is getting there, and well Sasha is just being an annoyance on occasion because shes the oldest and wants attention.

Mystic and Midnight play tag now even more and well Midnight hides himself just enough or hasnt learned that being around our feet at night isnt a safest thing. He also likes to hog the food bowl maybe today i can get a pic of him doing it when i put the food down.

other than that all is well here everyone is just relaxing and waiting on mommy to put the food down to eat.

Folks allow me to do a little soul search here...I am having serious doubts about whether or not I did the very best for my snuggles the other night.Here's what I mean...the young vet walked in with the needle of blood they had extracted from my snuggles belly,and She explained that this was most likely caused by a cancer of one sort or another....one that had probably spread thru snuggles system.
Now she explained about her needing surgery and the 50/50 proposition that was given snuggles state...and the cost.Now had she simply presented the situation as my girl was bleeding into her abdomen and needed surgery to correct this and to ascertain what was causing it....cost be dammed I would have went ahead with the surgery....but her use of the cancer word sent me into shock immediately...and perhaps led me to make a rash decision ..certainly one based o. What was best for the dog....but dammit there must be other reasons a dog might bleed into her abdomen ...why did she have to assume cancer....and why didn't I ask these questions the other night?
Midnight is fine and seems to be adjusting well...but I am wondering if I failed an old friend who never failed me at anything or at anytime.

She was going by the most likely thing it was I'm sure. She's studied this and seen her share of it, being in that line of work. You did the VERY BEST you could. Do not second guess yourself. That way lies heartache with no resolution. Please don't do that to yourself. Snuggles wouldn't want you to. She trusted you and you trusted the doctor, and she would have told you if this was not the best (but most difficult) choice.
Love your new baby while remembering the one who went before.

Yeah Blushes I know all of this,and believe me I recognize,and appreciate, good advice when I hear it...but my issue is with how I FEEL about my thought process that night.I know I had my dogs best interests at heart....but I'm just not so sure my best thinking was in play that night...I heard cancer and had a visceral reaction to it....and while it truly might have been the "most likely" cause of the bleeding,absent the surgery I will never know.
Not to blame the young lady ,who truly seemed to understand,recognize and feel for the decision I was being asked to make( I couldn't have asked for a more sympathetic manner than what I received from that young lady) I still wonder had she presented me with simply what she knew,rather than her best guess,would the whole thing have had a better resolution.
I'm just sick,sick about that decision,sick about running out and trying to heal myself with a new dog( though she is fine and she will be loved) snuggles deserved better than what I have been up to the last few days.

well heres something for you all to get a kick out of. 3 of the 4 babies of the household all having a goal in mind and being blocked from it.

Beside midnight if you cant see it very well because of the sun is Blondie's naw naw, blondie wants it and midnight is trying to play with it/watch what mommy was doing with her computer. Mystic on the other hand was looking for an opening to get away from both midnight and blondie and escape the room LOL. after i took this pic it took about 5 mins and all 3 left the room and blondie had victoriously taken her naw naw back.

Good for blondie...considering the odds against her(2 to 1) this is a major victory for dogs the world over :-)

Mike, please don't beat yourself up about your situation. I've been there, done that, burned the fricking t-shirt. I didn't have the money to treat my last dog's disease, and there was no guarantee that the treatment would improve his quality of life, so I made the decision to let him go. I still wonder, but it was the only decision I could make at the time. Knowing that he'd had a good life, and he wasn't in pain made it a little easier to bear...over time. You're going to hurt, that's normal....it's all part of your grieving process. And allow yourself to grieve, OK?

Snuggles knows you did your best, and I'm sure the vet didn't steer you in a wrong direction. Those folks truly love animals in ways that are amazing to me. I could never do the job because of your situation...having to tell someone that their beloved family member is dying would kill me. The animals that we've had to let go over the years unfortunately all were victims of cancer...it seems to be common in dogs and cats. And it's sneaky...by the time we knew about it, it was already too late. We'd taken the pets to the doc for another reason, only to find out it was cancer. And the bleeding into the stomach can't have signalled good news of any kind.

That you've already opened your home and heart to another lost soul says worlds about you...all good. The newest addition will help you heal, and fill the void left by Snuggles. You've saved a dog from the worst possible ending, and that's gotta be a great feeling.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you, and while some folks think it's just a lot of nonsense, I do believe that someday, we'll all be reunited someplace. With our 2 footed and 4 footed families.

Looks to me like Blondie and Mystic had Midnight cornered lol. Had it not been for your post I would have felt really sorry for him.
