Loving An Old Dog...: May 2013
http://lovinganolddog.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Friday, May 24, 2013. Today is a special day. It was four months ago today that Randall and I picked up Buddy from Dawn Enriquez after he became a Bark N Rest dog. He has made tremendous strides health-wise. He was always an absolute sweetheart, but his congestive heart failure and advanced heart murmur made his life miserable. His coughing and hacking and trouble breathing just broke my heart. Buddy in the Irving shelter January 2013.

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Saturday, August 17, 2013. Someone you don't hear about much. This is Aggie. She's one of our permanent senior fosters through ATDR. Come Labor Day weekend, she will have been with us two years. You don't hear much about her because, well, she's really rather difficult to live with. Fostering can sometimes be a crap shoot; sometimes you win and sometimes the house wins. The house won in this case. She has never really interacted with peop...

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Lucy Lou.Who is so much more than two. When we lost Buddy to organ failure in March of 2014, we knew we were going to bring in another hospice/end of life foster for Bark N Rest Retirement Center.it was just a question of finding the right dog. First day. Thin, scared and in rough shape. She also had the temperament type that wouldn't endear her to a prospective adopter. Stand offish and shy, Lucy just wasn'...

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Saturday, July 27, 2013. Buddy Update July 27, 2013. He's also doing very well except for one minor issue.this 16 year old, congestive heart failure, NEUTERED dog has gotten it in his mind that the 13 year old, SPAYED dachshund bitch is in season. Go figure. Anyway, these illustrate beautifully what Buddy thinks of the entire bath business. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Adopt A Senior From ATDR. Buddy Update July 27, 2013.

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Buddy Boy has been here now for four whole days, and he's been on his current medication now since Saturday. Currently, he's getting Lasix, Enalapril, Robitussin DM and 1/4-1/3 a baby aspirin (for inflammation of the trachea) twice a day. And he is doing really, really well. Night time is still the roughest on him. He now settles right down on his pallet with nary a cough. If he moves some during the nig...He al...

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Monday, February 23, 2015. Pickles Update 2 23 15. Life is tough when you're in the middle of a house remodel. After nearly 10 months, this whole thing should be over (mostly) by Friday. Which also means a really convenient excuse I've had handy will go away. I'll have others, mind you, but I've gotten pretty good flailing this one. :). So how is Pickles? Just dandy. I am so over the moon with this girl it's not funny. Cats don't bother h...

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Monday, December 2, 2013. Rest well, Aggie. We lost Aggie this morning. After several months of dealing with her dementia on top of her neurological issues, it became more and more obvious that it would soon be time to help her to the Bridge. So, this morning, we helped her on her journey. Over the last two years we've all dealt with Aggie's quirks and difficulties, and I'll be the first one to say she was a very hard dog to live with.

Loving An Old Dog...: Bridge Babies
http://lovinganolddog.blogspot.com/p/bridge-babies.html
Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Our animals shepherd us through certain areas of our lives. When we are ready to turn the corner and make it on our own…. They let us go. Those we have lost. Those of us who have been owned and loved by animals know the hardest part of the relationship is letting go. Whether the pet leaves for the Bridge on its own or is helped by us, the loss, pain and grief can be tearing and long lasting. Journey's of Elvis (Archived). Ninita - 3 lbs.

Loving An Old Dog. Random musings and thoughts on loving old dogs. Friday, February 6, 2015. Loving an old dog.or even a young one. Sometimes things don't work out quite as planned. Ms Pickles, not-so-long-past resident of the Irving shelter is now residing at our house in Garland. We picked her up from Veterinarians Dental on Wednesday, and were greeted with the news that the estimate for Pickles' age is 5. Well damn. We do seniors. Five stretches it, but what are you going to do? Didn't think so. :).
