Thanks LBMM! Yes, backups are good. I remember when my mom died, a couple people I expected support from got all weird, while some others came through so surprisingly kindly. Thank you for your words.

And you too Yoga Gal ... yes there is even some fun with the cone! Rose uses it to scoop things, and has a great time trying to get a tennis ball out of a corner. She's very adept with it.

I do see the nursing-care and eventual euthanasia as the last loving thing I can do for her.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, Justme ... have PMd you.

Hi Sassafrass.......So sorry to hear about your dog. It seems like things happen all at once sometimes.

After my husband asked for a divorce, I moved out and then 2 months later, my cat of 19 years died. He was definitely my cat and loved me. I would find myself waking up in the middle of the night and petting my comforter after he died.

As far as your friend.....I know everyone is different, but sometimes when I have issues going on in my life I will avoid that phone call to my best friend. Even though she is the one person that has always been there, sometimes I just don't want to talk about my problems and I know I will if we talk. I always end up doing so eventually, though, because I value her friendship so much. I hope she comes around for you. In the meantime, you can vent to us.

Take Care!!

Oh, Sassafras, I'm so sorry!

As another "dog person," I know all too well what you're going through.

Hugs!

Awww, Sassafras...I am sorry too. I had to go through the same thing for one of my cats last year.

I am glad he is happy-puppy right now. You will know when the time has come to say good-bye.

And I am sorry to hear about your friend. I hope it resolves itself well.

Sending good thoughts your way.

Newbie, Icon, Lizzie ... thanks. I'm starting to regroup after some unhappy days. Getting accustomed to how-things-are-now with Puppy (who is thrilled she now gets fed 7 times a day -- have to put pills in food). And a rapprochement with my friend seems to be happening, which is a big relief.

I always know, when I take on a new animal, that it's 99% likely it's going to come to this stage with them. It's kind of awful when it happens but it's a small price to pay for the love and companionship.

Rosebud is 13, and I've only had her a bit less than 5 years. Sometimes I envy her previous owner's 8 years with her ... but I know Rosebud really lit up that owner's final years. She is A Nice Dog.

I'm so sorry. It's horrible when animals you love are poorly and they look at you with big sad eyes. Big hugs to you and your poor sick doggie.
