Sorry for your loss mate. Dogs might as well be kids sometimes with the connection that we have to them. Hope you’re doing ok at least. |

i was sad to hear about kobe, but i'm even sadder to hear about this. dogs were central to my family growing up and i remember getting the call in college, first time i ever had to deal with that. i wrote later that day; perhaps it will help. best wishes |

Thanks, it means a lot. Mo, he died of heart failure on my bed. The last few days he couldn’t walk more than 15 meters without collapsing. It will be two weeks tomorrow and I simply can’t get over it. I loved him more than I love any human. A part of me. |

I will eventually go for that relationship again. For now it’s time for grieving. My God it’s hard. Merci Juliette. |

yeah, when the big ginger cat i'd grown up with died i was heartbroken, but getting another moggy did help. you definitely need a period to mourn though, it's probably even harder with a dog, they give love so unconditionally. thinkin of you anyway |

For sixteen years we were day and night together. He travelled everywhere with me, every part of my routine was with him. I’ve lost pets and cats before but this is beyond surreal. I was closer to him than I’ve ever been to a being. We were symbiotic. I hear a love song now and I instantly think of him. Such a character, such personality. He was perfect. Life is absurd, and isn’t it funny I named him after Albert Camus!? Life is absurd but we spend most of it convincing ourselves of the contrary. Some of us by being dumb, some by being clever. |

i think the best approach is to get a puppy straight away; your feelings are still there and will perhaps transfer a bit to the young whelp, the wheel of karmic return is more of a moving average, i feel. invest your feelings of loss into a pup |

a rebound dog, that's just disrespectful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

it's about a) dog is gone and no amount of mourning will bring him/her back b) being miserable out of honor will not bring him/her back, and if dog were there, dog would be sad you're sad and want you to do what it took to fix it c) getting new dog now while the feelings are fresh optimizes your odds of lucking out with dog that has the same sort of spirit |

~ probably the most interesting thing bloomberg has done to date; a vastly unorthodox yet ultimately successful candidate/dog meet 'n' greet. grabbing dog's snout is not something to be done casually, but you can see dog yawn was interrupt and dog fully yawn after snout handshake my former dogs, well, i could have done that and not worry about upsetting them. but to snout-handshake a dog you've just met does take a certain level of dog depth or perhaps it was all staged to make bloomberg seem like an actual human. |

hey, like, i miss having a dog. part of it's that. i had a run of bad luck for a few years, i had to move from place to place. even still, my lease does not allow dogs. there were times when i was lucky enough to live in places that also had dogs. so, i'm like: you have the time and space in your life to get a dog, and you don't want to? i am jealous of what you are pissing away one place i rented a room for a bit, i visit to interview to be a member of the household, and the guy says, "ok, i'm going to introduce you to do the dog." the dog is a belgian malanois, pretty much the beefy german shepherds they use in django unchained. he brings the dog out, and the dog has a muzzle on. but i know dog. i sit still and let him sniff me over. i give him a pat. the muzzle is taken off. i am given some advice: play fetch with him; he will be your friend for life i start playing fetch with him. he is beside himself. when i moved in, i was still cautious for a week or two, but after that i'd motion for him to hop up on the couch and give him a hug. that household was also a mess, sketchy, in a sketchy area, and knowing that dog would, without a doubt, bite the shit out of anyone he didn't know that came in the house, it did help my sense of safety in a shitty environment. but i felt like dog owner and the other roommates did not treat him very well; he seemed almost depressed at times. i remember it was "national dog day" or something, according to the news, and no one was home, he was just sort of "bleh" on his bed and i promptly did everything i could think of to spoil him. fetch, a moderate helping of pizza, etc. he was a good dog, but much better was the place with a white german shepherd and two huskys for the moment, however, i am dogless, and why would you hesitate if you could get a dog? |

w/rt to the belgian malanois: ~ it's hard to describe how incredibly large and huge the muzzle/teeth are until you've seen it in person. compared to, like, a lab, it's easily 3x the biting capacity |

he would reliably chew up anything left on the floor. i always winced when he chewed up beer cans. worried he'd cut himself. he always seemed to wind up perfectly fine however |

it's not a speedrun, it's just nice to have a dog about, and i must confess i miss having a dog about. my lease says no dogs. for work, i'm out of the house ten or twelve hours a day; sometimes more. that wouldn't be fair to a fully-grown dog, let alone an untrained pup. if you abstract dog personality into human sentiment, dog would be sad you're sad and would want you to move on so you can stop being sad. i'm gone, yo, and i hate to see you cry. please form another connection so you can feel better |

Hey Horsefactory! Lovely to see you around! Miss our chats! Epic, I will eventually go for that dog/human relationship again. At the moment it’s all about Albert though, like Tony mentioned I’m not comfortable with “replacing” him so soon. I need to mourn. Thanks everyone! Really appreciate everyone pooping in to say a few words! |

one of my many cousins loves animals, she had a blind (or was it deaf?) dog from the shelter and takes care of it really well. not sure if it's a boy or girl,not one of my closest cousins lol. |

one of our kittens is not her usual self,not sure what's wrong. our usual vet was too busy to see her,so we're going to go to another vets on monday. :-( |
||||||||
|

|
|
What are the symptoms you’re seeing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she's usually full of energy and pouncing on the work tops but there's been none of that for the last 2-3 days. she's sleeping a lot and looks depressed.like her eyes are half shut all the time, while her brother fenix is full of energy and his eyes are wide open. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hope it’s nothing too serious. You’ll know Monday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep,she's still just a kitten so it's worrying |

Sometimes cats get dehydrated, especially if they mainly get dried food, and it can make them listless like that. Make sure there's fresh water, wash the water bowl often, you might even try giving some water with an eyedropper. Do the test for |
