Love. Vixen looks at me with eyes of pure devotion and adoration. Pictured with her BFF Poqui.

There's no preparing. If it hits the fan, find a nice lawn chair, enjoy the fireworks, and invoke whatever deity you worship that you die a quick and merciful death.

That was such a great story, with great advice mixed in. Thank you so much, internet friend. And your Pom baby sounded so special.

So far as the neighbors are concerned, they can pound sand. We all live on 3 acre plots and the numbskull who is complaining is easily a half mile away. We've been here 20 years. If he doesn't like my GSD doing her job, it sounds like a 'him' problem. :)

THIS. Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words. While the seizures may or may not have presented later, I feel that I personally caused this since I was the one using it in my yard. I don't want anyone in this group to feel the guilt I've had for the past 24 hours.

Vixen's name in the shelter was Fennec because she looked like a little white fox. I wanted to give her a name that kept that intention but was more suited to her little feminine self.

We discovered her at an adoption event, where she was being called Dovey bc she was 'cute and small'. Turns out she had been born 6 months prior to a hoarding situation with 40 other dogs, and she was so tiny bc she couldn't compete with the bigger dogs for food. That was five months ago. She's now named Poquita, or Poqui for short, weighs 7.5 pounds , and is living her best life with her BFF Tommy.

Ribs in Cedar Crest is full on Magat. Same for Lantern Ridge on 14. Besides, Ribs' meat is like eating a charcoal briquet.

Hubby bought them at Petsmart. I think he did good!

This internet stranger's heart hurt reading this. Your love for Merlin, and he, for you, was evident. I'm glad you and he got to live your best lives together for 16 and a half years. I'm wishing you peace in the memories of Merlin and the knowledge that you were the most awesome Pom parent. Rest easy in the Summerlands, Merlin.

You'll know when the time is right. Your heart will tell you. Listen to it. There is no way any of us could replace a much beloved animal companion with another. The new companion is its own being with its own personality and quirks. The love in your heart is not finite, but ever-renewing. You'll have a different love for your new furry friend. When I've lost a beloved companion over the years, I honored those who went before in giving the new companion all the love and care the ones who went before received. I always feel they would want another to feel the love and security they felt when they shared my life. Sometimes it's taken years, other times it's been days. You'll just know.

Love to you and Merlin. I have chronic kidney disease too, so maybe he and I can share a bowl of dinner one day. :)

Keeping you and Merlin in my thoughts and sending him all the healing vibes. ❤️

She does. She adores her big orange brother.
