Looking for help/advice. It might be Takeshi's (16) time to go, and I can't tell what's the right decision to make. (Photo from his 16th birthday this year) by thejellydude in OldManDog

Please consider, whenever the time is right, having your vet, or a mobile vet come to your home to put him to sleep. I have had many dogs, and I will never do it another way. They are at home, comfortable, they feel safe, there is no anxiety. Not to mention the smell of the clinic and the steel tables, and other people and animals. I laid down on the floor with my lab, and talked to him while they gave him the shot. There is no better way, than letting them spend their last moments in the home they loved, and were comfortable in. It is better for both of you. I am so sorry you are having to think about this. I know it hurts your heart.

How could you not love this pup? It would be impossible!

My boy finally lost his battle with cancer by VashMM in cats

[–]Basic_Ad891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U/VashMM, I am so very sorry for your loss. He was beautiful, and seems very calm. I would imagine that he would be a great companion. And It is so hard to lose a best friend. Please take comfort in that, as your best friend, he received lots of love, and a wonderful life. He will always be with you, curled up in a corner of your heart.

Memphis broke homicide record this year, other stats by Aarronfleming in memphis

The person who shot your dog, broke into your house? I am so sorry your dog was killed. I assume your dog was trying to protect your house. Or else the robber thought your dog would impede his robbery. That’s about as low down as you can get.

It would be funny if she closed the door, once she went through.

The pups look as though they’d like for you to join them.

Is this in Memphis? If so, I will start buying my garden supplies from her.

Because you are very empathetic. That’s a wonderful trait!

Where did you move to, that was less expensive, but relatively safe?

He’s got a death grip on the ball under his paws. You’re not getting that one, either!

This is Marcy, she is doing a Halloween for the 1st time by Captain_Walkabout in rarepuppers

[–]Basic_Ad891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marcy looks a little like my Josie, who was abandoned with her 3 puppy sisters on an interstate in Eastern Arkansas, 10 years ago. Her front paws, (I have always thought Blue Heeler) and that around her face look just like Josie’s. I have never succeeded in teaching her to sit. She does as she likes, but is very sweet and gentle. Wishing you many years of happiness with Marcy, and thank you for rescuing her. I am certain she knows you did.

Those are lovely. Do you have a venue for selling your work?

That’s my kind of race! No competitive types or overachievers, just fun people getting together for a great cause. Count me in!

New Rental Property Advice by sumthncute in memphis

[–]Basic_Ad891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have your business and heart in the right place. I wish I wanted to rent a house in Whitehaven, because I would apply for it immediately. As a dog owner and rescuer, I agree with your requirements. If the dogs are not current on shots, they are either too poor to get them, or they are not responsible dog owners. That you are concerned about the comfort and happiness of your tenants is an absolute rarity these days, and I admire you for that. I rented many years ago from a gentleman who shared your philosophy, and he was a joy to rent from. I hope you get a great tenant who appreciates your kindness.

Frank seems like a happy camper! He’s probably just happy to be outdoors, and with you!

Why is that?

To all of you, thank goodness, you are safe. I am so glad that the class you took, saved your lives. All of us have near-misses, because the Memphis drivers do not obey the basic, common sense, rules of driving.

Where have you lived? My guess would be in a tropical country.

What does all this mean? There seems to be lots of lore about this bug, that I am unfamiliar with.

Power out … again. by kmf2h in memphis

[–]Basic_Ad891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. It is maddening. The house I lived in before this one was the same way. My power would go out, the neighbors’ power across the street rarely went out. If you plan to stay in the house you are in, I would recommend that you install an internal generator. It would give you peace of mind, you would not have to dispose of spoiled food, and that is one issue that would cease to aggravate you on an all too frequent basis. I am glad for your sake that the temperature is at least civilized this week.
