Maybe I’ve overshared a bit. Sometimes the forum meets the need of just venting into the ether!

I Suppose these are disturbing and grotesque costs and lengths we go to for this mutt we love so much.

But, pet insurance + no kids + profound loyalty = a dog that gets the best I have to offer.

Granted, if the care I can give him leads to a healthy future, not just dragging out his life for my own selfishness.

@Mizmazzle I just read it now my friend, I'm so sorry that your friend has to go through all this , I hope that after the removal of those fragments in the stomach the situation will return to normal. I'm close to you, every time these things happen it breaks my heart . I hope everything goes well

Definitely not!
Thoughts are with you.

[popvulture]

Indeed definitely not! Share all you want @Mizmazzle — we’re here

Honestly, I’m not sure I’d do as much for my kids so I may be a poor example.

The endoscopy went well and I got the call this morning saying I can bring Carl home!! Beyond relieved to have him back with me. No lymphoma so that is incredible news. No explanation for the enlarged spleen. Guess that’s something we’ll need to keep an eye on moving forward.

He seems really tired and is resting. I know I’m tired as hell myself.

Driving home!!

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks everyone for being a sound board when I needed one!!

Also @Matt , not many people could pull it off with as much style and panache as you. Keep up the great work!

@Mizmazzle love those smiles and it sounds like a good outcome. I guess I’d feel tired if someone had been rummaging around inside me!

I totally agree.

[Matt]

I would totally get pet insurance but pit bulls are excluded. Free dog from the pound - pet insurance + kids = cross our fingers she doesn’t get too sick.

[Mizmazzle]

@ROman good man!

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt I see the way you fawn over Ava. She makes your heart into puddin’ and she’d fight tooth and claw for you same as you would for her…

Is a shame the stigma Pit Bulls get though.

[Matt]

True, I love her… but when I was lying in the ground with my entire upper arm in another dog’s mouth she was running in the opposite direction. This bitch is on her own.

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt is this true story?? I thought the Pit Bull genes would send her straight into defense mode??

My buddy has an African Boerboel. This thing is freaking massive and more than a little intimidating. I stopped letting Carl play with him when they were both 7 months old. That dog attacked the sprinkler guy at my buddies house yesterday. Guess he opened the door somehow, rushed out into the yard and ripped him up pretty good. My buddy spent the whole day in the ER with the dude. 9 bites and some seriously opened up flesh. Brutal.
