They try their best to behave. One was born was hydrocephalus and she's a difficult one to train. (Water on the brain) but she survived the worst of it and has seemed to have recovered aside from mental defects. I'm glad I didn't choose to put her down. :) Here's a picture of her and her dad. Don't let the pic fool ya, she's 45 lbs and her dad is 105# he's HUGE!

Darn, just realized today that we are going to lose grand old golden sooner than we thought. We were hoping to make the springtime. Life sucks today.

Very sad news Scott! She had a great life with the both of you though. Memories that will last forever.

Thanks, Mrs CP and fenixsmom, that helps a bit.
Ginger has been with us for almost 14 years - VERY old for a large Golden. She has had a very full and good life, but now the kidneys are failing, and her hips are giving way. Thanks for the offer - but we have 6 now, so Ginger will not/can not be replaced, even though we would enjoy having another puppy in the house. Mira and Molly (a lab, and a labariener - or weimarlab) would not get the attention they need or deserve, so as much as I love Chessies, I have to say no. Great dogs! I think we have about 2 weeks to a month - she's still feeling good and eating well - but the incontinence started yesterday, a very bad sign. Good day in the sun on the porch, though. Vet visit after a bath tomorrow. I won't make a call until after that, and after Karen comes back down for the weekend. Thanks again! -------------------- Caveman

I'm sorry, Scott. Pets are our precious babies. Maybe they spend their time in heaven reminiscing about the good times while they wait for us to join them there. With all my heart, I hope that's how it works.

I completely understand your position! My heart breaks for you. The hardest part of having wonderful fur-babies is watching them head over that bridge. If you change your mind the offer stands, but absolutely no pressure. Big hugs to you and your lady.

RhodoRose - that's what we hope too - thanks.
Fenixsmom - again, thanks, much appreciated. Vet today at 2, then we will know more. Positive note - dry night. The day in the sun did her good, and I got up and made her go out twice during the night, and again this morning. Hips are definitely going, though; but still doesn't need help with the steps. On the humorous side - been spoon feeding her since August. She was having a little trouble with her stomach than and wasn't eating. Now she has a great appetite, but insists on being spoon fed! I'm a patsy, I let her con me into it. -------------------- Caveman

Scott,
I own this dog assist lift harness (Lulubear was 148lbs) and you are more than welcome to it if you need it: Dog Assist Lift Harness It helped her a lot through the difficult times last year before it was time, especially with stairs and ice. Just let me know and I'll send it your way bud. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Chris, thanks! I will let you know. Right now, only minor difficulties with stairs, and the main thing is getting her up to go out. She's only 84#, and only requires a little
bracing to get up, or - at most - a little assistance to get on her hind legs. Vet told me to get her down to around 75#, and she should be ok after that. The check up went well, by the way. I will get the results of the blood lab tomorrow. Need to collect a urine sample from her in the morning, too. Wheee! Know how to do it now, too. Not sure she approves. Later! -------------------- Caveman
