My old man Ash has heart failure and has been on meds for a while now. I’m on a business trip, but my wife says he’s really struggling to breathe today. His vet is off until tomorrow, but in the past she brought up euthanasia. He’s probably close to 17 years old now. My little min-pin won’t leave his side.
Oh man. Thats a tough one. Thats how my Puppy Wuppy went.
Bitter irony when you consider their devotion to the family.

Sorry to hear this. It’s always so hard to deal with losing a member of the family. I had 2 Weimareners that were two years apart and we lost both at 12 to heart failure. Was very difficult both times.
mathy kitty!
Wow that math homework would make great cat litter!

Buttons and I are at the office, catching up on paperwork and eating cookies. And looking at our very kind coworkers as if they’re completely sketch.
Is Buttons ready to be Office Doggy?
No, definitely not. Buttons finds all people not in our family dubious at best. I’m just happy she’s accepted the few of us she has.
I should clarify for T-ransformation purposes that only Buttons ate cookies at work. I have not had a cookie since…hmm, did I have one on February 4? Maybe. I had ice cream cake that day. I don’t think I had a cookie. Assuming not, I haven’t had one since January 2. Edit: since January 1. That’s the day we “took care of” the remaining Christmas stock.
Oh, but I did have two small bites of Buttons’ special frosted Barkery cookie in January. I don’t know that dog cookies count. I think not. Plus I only had nibbles. It was really good, though.
But who’s counting, right?
Even if they did, they have extra protein or something, otherwise they’d just be regular cookies.
Right, right. Exactly. For those of us who are particularly lupine. Like me and Buttons.
Loves to run in snow. ![]()
Highly compliant to regimented dietary guidlines. ![]()
Yep. It all checks! ![]()
But if that wolf wanted a cookie, I’d definitely give it one.
Couldn’t decide where to put my snowstorm, so have decided to scatter it liberally through OT, hitting “happy,” “not lifting,” and “pets,” because…well, because.
And looking very majestic doing it!
