Life is good

I wished my local pet doctor would have agreed to euthanize her, for that she does not have to leave this world alone in a far away clinic. She hated clinics and to stay in a cage. The doctor denied. I wish I could have spared her those terrible last days.

I really sympathize with this. May we all be spared those totally unnecessary terrible last days. May she rest in peace.

Gracie left me not the way I hoped. And way too early. Hope you enjoyed your journey with me at least a bit. I did my best. Be lenient with me. I love you and miss you so much. You deserve a heaven more than most people you met in your life, Thanks for being my friend, Good night, Gracie!

@Gundi

Thank you all. She got cut open to detect the reasons for the various changes of her organs. I am still waiting for the results of the biopsies taken. But she did die of post-operative complications, likely from a thrombus.

I knew my dog. She had diverse problems and symptoms for years. I wished my local pet doctor would have agreed to euthanize her, for that she does not have to leave this world alone in a far away clinic. She hated clinics and to stay in a cage. The doctor denied. I wish I could have spared her those terrible last days.

I will get her ash today and bring her home again for good.

sorry to hear that, try to focus on all the nice years you got to spend with her

Without me, she would have died in that utter primitive, even bad - but still better private shelter than the public ones in Romania, which mostly are nothing else but horrible killing stations of the worst kind (without regular food and water supply). They didn‘t recognize her Diaphragm tear and even if they did, they wouldn’t have had the money for an operation. Additionally she attacked every human and dog out of fear. She got rid of her fears over the years with me though. She was a lovely partner to my other dog and loved her couch time with me. Humans treated her very badly and also caused multiple fractures during her 4 years as a stray dog. But knowing this doesn‘t help me to feel bad for not having been able to spare her those last days alone in a cage. It was time for her to go. But not like that.

So sorry again. I hope her remains gives you a little peace.

nods, sounds to me you did what you believed is right and that you made a big change for good in her (and your) life

what more can be expected of human beings? if everyone did that this world would be a much nicer place

You gave her many years of comfort, happiness and joy, which is far more important than a few days of discomfort. She had a better life than most animals, and that was your doing. Her suffering has now ended. It’s time for her to rest.

As much as it cost me nerves and even more time and money to take good care of Gracie due to her huge package regarding her psyche - and as a result her social problems towards nearly anything - as well as her physical health, I miss her and this won’t stop. Jamie is cute and I love her to pieces, but she’s not a real dog, lol. More like a big cat. And I don’t relate to body size here.

Today we met a few other „cats“ on our walk. No real dogs sighted today.

Christmas is gone, Easter is coming. The circle goes on.

Made about 2 hours ago. Not a sharp image, but I like it. The moon appeared way bigger, though.

wow those robot dogs look so realistic these days

[Gundi]

Yes, it looks a bit like rhat, lol.

[Gundi]

Soooo cute. I love dogs. They really can form a very strong bond. You can see how they think about it, lol.

I just was a little shocked when a cousin called to invite me to her 70th birthday. In our family we never had a close contact with our cousins and their families. I guess that‘s because some had up to 5, 6 children and those parents were all hard workers. So there wasn‘t much of free time, especially for the families running a farm, as work there never stops.

So we are very distant to each other. I am the youngest among the cousins, but her reasoning, wanting them all finally see altogether while it‘s not yet a funeral, really shocked me a bit, lol. Had to open some Hugo bottle (luckily I had one in the fridge and also some fruits to put into it). We got old. Jesus Christ. I don’t feel old yet, as I thankfully have no health problems except low back issues due to my sitting job. Guess this justifies to be posted in the life is good-category, lol. Cheers.

good reason… cheers!

I just opened a bottle of Freixenet. Two reasons:

1. I slowly believe my current physiotherapist managed what other PTs and about 10 incompetent Doctors failed to do for about 40 years, namely to get rid of my back aches. Only by correcting the location of both kneecaps. No one before checked them. I just had my last training with him. And as a bonus, I can now row again without getting knee aches.

2. I have one week off (vacation).

Life is good!

[thinkingaboutit]

nice, congrats!

Jamie already feels at home.

I am just glad, I only had to drive 77 km, because there is no Autobahn to our Wellness Destination. The Autobahn is way more secure to drive than normal roads. I wonder I didn’t witness a car crash. Many German drivers are irresponsible.

I never liked deer meat much before. But I had the best deer back ever in my life yesterday. It had the size of one sushi roll, though. I mean one of those really tiny, tiny very tiny rolls, lol. But mmmh.

The rest of the fancy tiny but very expensive gourmet menue dishes I don’t need at all. I like it simple. This applies for most things in life. I am also not into sweet stuff. 3 of the served dishes I easily could skip for one normal sized main dish. I guess that’s why I love breakfast over dinner when staying in hotels.
