I can feel for you as well. When I moved away from home I got my first "real" pet (a pound mutt named Homer). He is about 6 now, and he still acts like a pup too. I couldn't think of my life without him waiting for me when I get home. Good luck, We are all pulling for her.

So as I mentioned, my wonderful dog thought she'd perform pre medical precedures on herself and took out her sutures friday night. I took her in the next morning and they stapled her up. Unfortunately, the incision didn't get better, it got worse, and infected. So we had to take her to the hospital on Sunday because the incision was coming open and not healing, and there were new openings above the incision due to the skin being dead. They had to go in and take out the dead skin from the original incision, create a new drainage opening and put in a new drain and sew her up again. So something around 1400 dollars later, shes now resting on her bed with one of those goofy cones on her head. It's been a ------- nightmare this past week. And now I get to spend the next two weeks in the house watching her. Aren't I lucky...good God does this ever stear me away from ever having kids! No ------- way. Sleep deprevation is waaay different than staying up all night because you want to, or because you just can't sleep.

sorry about your dog mary. i wish you and your dog the best.
my dog got hit by a car before. but she took it like champ and never had to take her to the vet... didn't break anything. also had a miligmant growth on her that was about as big as a baseball dunno how she got it. but had to have that removed. the thing i noticed the most is how bad she smelled after being at the vet for like 4-5 days. it was wierd. anyways here is a couple pictures.

when i was in like 5th grade, we got a german shorthair from the pound. he was technically my moms dog, but he followed me around and would walk on the leash when i took him around the block. he slept on my bed with me, and was always there when i was sad. he had a lump on his chest and we thought it was just a wart or soemthing like that, but then it got bigger and bigger, so we had it removed, but they wanted like 300 bucks to take it to the lab and figure out what it was, so we couldnt do it about 3 months later, it came back and he stopped eating. he just layed on the floor next to my moms desk until i came home, and when i came home hed lay on the couch next to me, or on the floor next to where i was. one night he was laying on the couch and he couldnt move his head. my dad carried him upstairs and put him on my bead, and died in his sleep next to me. he used to crawl under the covers in this crazy retarded way. i miss my puppy

Sorry to hear that mak i hope all goes well. We use to have a black blak dog ( don't know what kind) but he got in a accident and ended uo losing his frt right leg. Even though he only had 3 legs ,buddy ( his name)was still a god damn speed rocket and could almost jump over me. That is when he tried and ended up running into my chest and knocking the ---- out of me. Well unfortunately he started having problems with his rear leg and it was giving over time. My dad told me to take him to the vet so they could see what they could do. The next day i went there to see whats up. It ends up that my dad had them put buddy to sleep and didn't tell me ,i was in shock. Never got to say goodbye, after that i had a pet ferret named bandit. He passed away later to due to broken ribs and some internal bleeding. He got attacked by a neighborhood dog and i managed to get him but the damage was done....happened so fast. He later passed that night in his bed with his toys and i got to say my good byes. Hope it all goes well .This feeling sucks

Due to the current change in my technological ownership (Mary got a digital camera for Christmas ) I decided to put up a few pics of muh dag. Sorry if you get grossed out by blood and guts, just thought I'd show ya'll what she's gone through.

(sorry, I didn't resize them before I put em on the net, and they're huge, so you get links, instead of embedded images :P )

hey mary your dog doesn't look very old!

looks like its got a lot of years left. looks happy too. not all bum'd out about havin the ---- done to her... (dogs get depressed too)

what kinda camera did you get... my mom bought me one... but it was crap lol i took it back and sweet talk'd the lady in the photo department to give me the christmas deal on a different one... so i got a 3.2mp kodak easyshare for 98 dollars. i soon found out that taking 3.2mp pictures sucks down the batteries... here pictures of my dog with my digi... ive been goin picture crazy since i got it lol

these pictures are on the lowest setting... i believe 2.0mp... can't really tell the difference between 2mp and 3.2mp unless you're doin a macro shot or somethin... dakota is about 9 years old...

Aww cute!! Yea my puppy doesn't look old, but she's 9, believe it or not. She looks like she's about 5 though and she acts like it too. That's why I want to keep her around so badly, because she doesn't act old, she's still the best dog in the world, ya know?

And I got the Kodak EasyShare 3.1MB I like it. But yes, those things suck up batteries no other. Good camera though.
