That is extremely sad I feel the same way with my boarder collie. If something happened to him, i'm going on a drinking binge to end all drinking binges.
Personally I'd want a Golden Retriever.
I've had nothing but good experiences with them.
They're the best dog's in the world!
My last G… moreolden, was the most loyal dog I've ever owned.
Even in his final days, he was determined to stick to me like glue.
He died of lymphatic cancer, at the age of 6.
Which I did not know he had cancer until the day he died, which was the day I took him into the vet.
His death came on rather suddenly, all of a sudden he just got sick and died.
This dog, who in his day was 95lbs of muscle, dropped to 77lbs, frail and emaciated.
When I took him in, the doc said for the cancer to be as advanced, he must have had it for at least a year.
Which was a total shock, as just three months before, he was up in the mountains running and swimming like he always did.
The day I took him in, he hadn't been able to walk for three days, was completely bed ridden.
But as I was pulling out of the driveway, he stood u… [view original content]
Already beat you to it.
10 months before he passed, a close family-member of mine passed away from breast cancer.
After my dog died, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I started drinking and continued for around 2 years.
Any cash I did make went straight towards booze, and eventually I lost everything, ended up flat-broke.
And any cash I did make afterward, went straight towards booze.
I couldn't stop drinking, nor could I limit myself.
I eventually had to face the fact that I had fallen into alcoholism.
And the fact that it's in my genes, doesn't help.
Anyway I got sober and stayed sober for 6 months, had a 3 month relapse, got straight again, and have been sober ever since.
My life, since quit drinking has done a 180.
I've got a good job.
Friends that are like family.
Life is good!

That sucks my friend, I understand all too well. I also lost someone to cancer , so i know that pain, which i know how that can change a person. It was one of the things that changed me into heartless bastard i am now. How long did she have till she was diagnosed. In my case, i was asked to take them to the doctor a few days before my birthday, We found out that day, i spent the next month watching them die slowly in a hospice bed.
I am glad to hear that man. Good luck to your endeavors.

Well true, it won't always happen, what occurred with Sam is called food aggression, now some dogs will not do this, but this can be how it … morewas trained/brought up. it is common in dogs who had to survive on their own in the wild and to them, they will fight for every meal as if it would be their last. Since it was a outbreak, Sam was mostly likely alone for a long time and had to find food to survive, now with the choices made, it will still trigger as if you're trying to take the food hence the attack.
Thanks.
it takes courage to face your problems.
Anyone can hide in a bottle, like I did for 2 years.
And actually it's only when you face your problems, that they begin to subside, and you can start healing.
I know that from experience!
I would say it was about a year later, that I found out that the person in question had cancer.
And I found out through my uncle, who unintentionally sprang it on me at a social gathering.
Apparently he thought I knew, cause apparently everyone else in the family knew.
I do not hold that against him, as it was just an innocent mistake, and he had no way of knowing.
I didn't even hold it against the person in question.
I just showed her kindness and compassion.
And tried my damndest to encourage her to fight, and to not give herself to dying.
She probably had cancer for at least 3 years.
Watching her waste away from cancer was the most painful, and admittedly disgusting thing I've ever watched.
What cancer does to the human body his horrible.
Aside from staying sober, I try to be the best of what I am.
I'll go to bat for family, friends and pets, whenever they're in trouble.
And I'm fiercely protective of them.
If something or someone tries to do them harm, that person is gonna get hurt.
I always strive to be honest and straightforward with people, as well as being gracious and courteous.
As well as striving maintain a positive outlook, even though it is difficult at times.

In my situation i was asked by this person to take them to the doctor, because they didn't want to go alone. I didn't think much of it, because being 22, you think your invincible. Who thinks cancer, didn't think it would happen but it did. I remember the smugness of the doctor when he said it, it was so cold it was ice. Then he left the room, to let us just sit with that you know.
I tried to have hope i really did. I went to church, anything i thought would help. It didn't help. She had stomach cancer at such a young age it was impossible right. I took care of her the best i could, eventually she got to the point where she couldn't move by herself, she couldn't eat so she was placed in a hospice. I lived at the hospice room for about three more weeks, and she died on her birthday a month later after being diagnosed.
Five years later, i'm not the same person i was before she died, it changed me into a cold serious individual. It was hard for me to feel anything for a long time. I would feel extremely guilty every time i'd smile or look at another girl. I miss the old me sometimes, but he isn't coming back and i made peace with that a long time ago. Her birthday is on Wednesday, most likely i am going to go get piss drunk and pass out in the shower good times right.
Thanks.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
And I honestly hope one day, things will be different for you.
If it'll help, I found what helped me was 2 things.
1, keeping myself busy with constructive activities.
Whether that be my secular work, or keeping things working around my house, even reading things that were educational helped.
The more I did stuff like that, the less I had time to focus on my pain.
2, I surrounded myself with friends and family.
I kept myself busy with trying to help them.
Focusing on trying to help them with their struggles, made mine seem less important, not to mention less painful.
It helped give me perspective, and allowed me to deal with my situation more clearly.
If this helps you put anything in perspective, I'm glad I could help.
Even though I do not know you, I still wish you the best.

dealt with it my own way. I don't have a family, they passed on years ago which could go into deeper why i am "CrazyGeorge." However i don't want to turn this thread into a pity party. I am far beyond that, i am completely numb you know. I am ok not having friends, i hold people at a distance unconsciously, I pretty much just do my own thing as Doug would say.

That is extremely sad

Don't forget URBAN.
Wrong! She needs a Battle Hamster!
That's not a scar! It's a bite! A lurker bite!

"JEEZIS CHROIST BIGBUY!"
Hopefully not, because it will die and I will weep like I have never wept before.
For me she should have a rat! I love them and I want to see her with a rat on her shoulder!
I know, calling Sam evil was a joke. I understand about food aggression.
I think Clem needs a cougar! she has the eyes of one!
Ah,my apologies, did not mean to insinuate that you meant it, just for those who actually thought that if any did
Its fine, don't worry about it. It is hard sometimes when things miss its target. No worries my friend.
Thanks.
