ANIMALS IN OUR LIVES :)

Just said goodbye to our dog Zoe. Wasn't unexpected but still not easy. She was 6 weeks old when I adopted her from a rescue. 

The day she came home.

With my other dog at the time, Checkers.

I gave her frozen cow knee and she shred it like a Fargo wood chipper in just  under an hour. 

I gave Jimmy a raw chicken foot. They're supposed to be really good for keeping their teeth clean. He had no idea what to do with it. In fact it almost freaked him out. It definitely freaked Sue out and it was her idea.  After it sat on the kitchen floor for an hour, I have up and  threw it out. This is the same dog that'll open the compost bin and steal chicken bones from a rotisserie chicken if you give him half a second.

2AM , guess who just peed on the carpet? 

Don't feel bad.  I woke up at 5 this morning to let the dogs.out.  Walked out with them and Kaiser only peed.  Went back for a little more ZZZZ.  45 minutes later I woke up to find Kaiser had shit in the kitchen.  At my wits end with this one.

Dark days ahead.  We took Kaiser in for what we thought was a wrist injury that was healing too slowly.  He's so rambunctious...   keeping him calm is damn hear impossible.  

Anyway...   the vet decided it was more likely his elbows.  So, a few days later we took him in for a full panel of x-rays.  The results floored me.  He already has arthritis in both elbows....at 8 months old.  The vet's prognosis is 3-4 years before he's in too much pain to move.

But because of his young age he could be a candidate for surgery.  So, I'm taking him to the specialist on Monday.   But if the specialist can't tell me that he can have a full, normal, pain free life...   We'll have to put him down.  Hell, we might not even have the money to pay for two surgeries.  They have to be done before he is a year old.

Though he has always been my wife's dog, I feel totally gutted.
