The fact that the bow tie matches the tongue is really what sells it.

Our turn.
About 2 months ago, we suddenly lost our 12 year old red Oriental Short Hair, Monty, due to what was likely pancreatic cancer; he apparently hid the pain from us quite well and we didn't see the little early warning signs.
After he departed this mortal coil, our seal point Siamese became very confused and depressed, constantly looking for her buddy, calling out for him and finally seeking any and all attention; it was really quite sad to see her like that.
We decided we really wanted another oriental. After a bunch of searching, and talking to a few breeders, we finally found a new friend for her. There is still some growling and hissing going on, but we think Callie will be a great new mom to her "daughter".
CP pet faithful, meet Sadie:

So tomorrow I might be posting in the pet loss thread, but for tonight I appreciate my dog Wren. She's four, but is having some serious health issues right now and we have a vet appt tomorrow morning. She's been my best friend for the past four years and I hate what might have to happen tomorrow, but I'm just going to enjoy tonight with her for now.

Sorry to hear. That's way too young. Hope you get better than expected news.

All weekend I've been trying to reconcile my decision to not treat my 11ish-year-old dog's cancer. It's not operable/removable, because it's on her neck—but even if it were located, say, on her leg, I wouldn't put her through a major operation, or lob the leg off. That's no way for a dog to live..
I was all set to try an oral chemo, but to what end? So she can live to 13?
But on the other hand, you want your pet to live forever, so you’d try and do everything for them.
She's acting perfectly normal right now: pain-free, eating, drinking, going ape#### when a murder walks past the window. But when she starts to go downhill, I'll have her put down.
I've never had to make a decision like this: my last dog, our family dog, had a stroke at 14, so we put him down in 2008.
It's like signing a death sentence.

Sorry to hear Sr. Mints. Every time I open this thread it makes me think of the mortality of my 5 year old best friend.
I think you can take great solace in the fact that you gave them a wonderful life and likely saved them from an awful fate in the first place. And the best thing you can do is to let them go without pain.
God damned onions.

We adopted a 5 year old American Bulldog who had a tumor removed from his leg. Unfortunately they did not get it all - and we ended up getting radiation done on what was left. We don't know if the cancer had a time to spread - we are hoping we can buy him a couple of more years. I feel for you, such an incredibly trying decision to make, we decided against chemo after almost losing him after one of the radiation treatments. Just trying to make sure the rest of his days are comfortable and happy.

A picture of some comfort dogs in Vegas for victims of the attack. Just look at the face of that good boy in the middle, and try and convince yourself dogs aren't the best. Here's the Twitter page for the group who provides the dogs

Oh they're all good dogs Brent, but I just can't get over that look. He's so excited to dish out some comfort.

I feel your pain. We did our best to prolong the life of our 12 year old pug, but it was not to be. No cancer, but a collapsed trachea, and a seizure that led to incontinence and neurological issues. He'll always be our kid's first dog, and the one to which all others are judged.
We found a new one today. She's special to us, of course. But, she'll never be our Hogan.

Our three year old tabby seemed oddly threatened by the appearance of a pumpkin.
