Dogs

Recommended Posts

Unless these big,big dogs can be trained to shit in the toilet and flush, no thanks, 35-50 lbs. is enough for me.  Took care of an Alaskan Malamute that was the meanest dog I ever dealt with, bite you as soon as look as you.  And the cleanup was tremendous.

This is Maximus.  He’s almost 10.  He’s a rescued mixed lab and pit they say.  He’s gotten a raw deal in his life.  He is diagnosed with prostate cancer, which in dogs is fatal.  They give him maybe a year to a year and a half.  And recently, he wound up with a partially torn acl in his knee from rough housing with a younger dog.  He lives with one of my daughters.  I will miss him.  He is such a great, friendly, loving member of my family.  We’ve had him since he was a pup.

@Maximus His raw deal turned around when you saved him.  That’s all that matters.  I feel bad about his diagnosis but he looks happy right now.

Here's my "home protection" dog, Brandy. She thinks she's a big dog so she'll bark at any unknown noises, but once she sees someone who is friendly she's most likely to want a belly rub. Otherwise, she'll run between my legs for protection. That's when I call her "Killer."

Yesterday, Maximus lost his battle with prostate cancer.  He fought hard and put up with all of his treatments and actually looked like he would be around for a while.  The cancer spread to two of his other legs and the feeling was it had invaded his entire body.  He lost a lot of weight and couldn’t walk without help.  He left us yesterday and isn’t in any pain anymore.  We lost a great friend and will miss him very much.CED2D1C2-5EF9-4335-91D1-4D774EDEEB57.jpeg
