My condolences. Our 15 year old has been throwing up her food quite a bit the last few days. My wife has her at the vet right now doing blood work and xrays to see what the deal is. Our 14 year old schnauzer has a host of medical problems as well. I'm afraid the time is getting nearer for both of them. [Reply]

So Ecko's blood work and xrays came out ok. She still has food in her stomach though and not sure why it's not moving through her. No obvious blockages. We may just have to start feeding her smaller portions.
Chuey is a different story. He's got a mild case of pancreatitis, enlarged heart and liver issues. He's on 7 different meds now. Lately his breathing has become labored. He'll be at rest for an hour or more and panting like he just came in from the heat. We won't have him much longer I'm afraid.

Thanks man, dogs are great, but losing one is going to suck. I think the worst part will be my wife. She'll be an absolute wreck. [Reply]
Man I hesitated to post this with all the said news being posted. I am so sorry to hear this news. I wanted to post pics of our newest edition Curly. She is a Schnoodle.

My wife is taking it the hardest because it was her first dog as an adult and we had to put her down a day before her birthday. She's a wreck right now. [Reply]
He actually has a fantastic personality. I have passed ownership to my son who lives with me (Ninja is still 'my' cat) and I think he wants to call it 'Grey' for some reason. Oh, FFS, they've given it an Instagram account. [Reply]
