Oh boy yes.. It has been a rough few months for us. She was going down hill fast the last several months of her life. Eating was becoming a bit of an ordeal to say the least, but as any good fur parent would do, I tried absolutely everything as far as liquifying her food and feeding it to her through a syringe. Then a whole bunch of other problems arose. We eventually made the decision to have her pass quietly and peacefully surround by my wife and I. Hated doing it but I don't think she would have made it more than another 24 hours or so. She was that bad of shape. So sad to see all of those years come to an end. It's been rough.
I am so sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. That's terrible. Death is not an easy thing to grasp regardless if you know it's coming or it is sudden. I am sorry that you and your family have to go through that.
We are going to do a little bit of traveling before taking on another furbaby. We will, just not right now.
Glad to hear from you! It brought a big smile to my face when I saw your handle in the comments. Nice to see a familiar face now and again. Hope (other than the losses) you are doing well. I know you had several projects going there for a while. Give Joy (and yourself of course) a nice hug back from us. We needed that virtual hug 😊 and it was greatly appreciated.
I know how hard it is to make the decision, I still feel terrible about deciding over my Rottweilers passing :(, even though I think he would have suffered otherwise. My Molly and Zoe went by themselves, it was hard but in hindsight felt better, rather than making that appointment. I hope Joy doesn't have to suffer and just sleeps away...in like 20 years.
He had a terrible Bronchitis over xmas and soon he is going to have his teeth removed. So liquifying food is on the table soon lol. I hope he survives the surgery, a Bulldog of 10 is not the most suitable patient. Fingers crossed for my baby boy. Btw he got a Trenchcoat for xmas, for health reasons. He looks adorable in it lol.
My brother in law passes suddenly a year ago, but a day after a stalker of him and my sister appeared on the scene and crazy shit happened. For a whole year, this crazy woman harassed, insulted and stalked us every week. On December 21st there was finally a court hearing where she received a temporary injunction. Let's see what happens when it runs out.
I'm telling you, crazy people in this world. Didn't make it any easier to get over his death. He was only 52 and it was so unexpected. We were roommates, and since I still live here, he is of course missing every day. On the other hand, it's hard to believe that a year has already passed since I found him. How the time flies. Oh well, life lol.
Heyyyyyy, traveling sounds great. 🤗
Oh wow… Yes, I'd say you've been through quite a bit. People are absolutely crazy in this world. My wife and I talk about it all the time. You just never know what crazy lives within some people. Mental illness runs rampant anymore. Not sure why or maybe I just focus on it more than normal. Anyhow, I hope she doesn't come back around. Hopefully she found some other muse to satisfy her whatever. Sorry you guys had to go through that.
I bet Joy looks awesome in that trenchcoat. You'll have to share a photo when you get one at some point.
It was a hard decision to make the choice to put Molly down although we rely on our vet an awful lot. He is pretty awesome and just tell us like it is. If there was hope he would have tried something but we all felt she wouldn’t have lasted the evening. Pepper went naturally, and it was a nightmare. It lasted forever and I was thinking of ways to help him pass quicker. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that way before and I didn’t really want to feel that way again. It wasn’t a nice, easy passing. That’s for sure.
I suppose either way, it’s just about the same as the other. They both suck.
