Very touching conversation here and I simply wanted to butt in to send my best to your pooch and your family, HRMG. Having just come back from the store where I got Kiko (and Fred) some celebratory millet, you know how much I adore animals. Neither get this treat very often as it is akin to giving twinkies to birds, but it is her birthday. Adoption day, really. I pulled out her papers and found that I got her 11 years ago to the day, thus the celebration. I mentioned it before but I actuallly adopted Kiko to be a companion to the parakeet I rescued from a dumpster (yeah, thrown away in the cage) years before. Sadly, that parakeet died two days before Kiko arrived. Odd how all of this turns out. I've said it before but while Calvin gets most of the spotlight, Kiko has always ruled the house having bonded to me almost the moment she arrived.
All the best from my feathered and furry family to yours.

My mum had to make that awful decision on thursday - worse that she was at work, her dog was on the operating table and she had to make that call over the phone (11 year old labrador, good age for that breed of dog, but they found a massive tumour around her heart). She called me while I was at work to let me know and it was awful, but it was the best thing for Zoe. She was well loved and had a great life, just like your doggy! Enjoy every second with him  All our animals are the same age, which could work out quite bad but I wouldn't change a second of our time together.

Either that or hip dysplasia. He will let us know when it is time, I'm sure of that. I don't want to do it too soon, but I also do not want him to suffer..... it's a very hard decision and one that I have to feel that I did the right thing or I will never forgive myself. So I cherish every single day we have together and treat him like the King that he is!

I know how much Wolfie means to you and it will hurt. Hurts just as bad as the passing of any loved one. My daughter and I still talk about Max and Bella and we remember them fondly now, and on occasion a few tears still spill.
They come into our lives and give love and acceptance, and you will never forget it. I'm sorry your at the time the decision must be made, I know how bad that feels. Very sorry.

My sister gave her dog an arthritis drug, which they got for free because her husband was a drug sales rep. That helps. Their boy lived to the age of 19 and he was half collie half chow, a big boy like your's. Here's to hoping the drugs keep working. I could ask my brother in-law what kind of arthritic drugs he carries. He represents Merck, I don't know who makes Rymadyl. If it's Merck wont hurt to ask about it.

Doing what you may have to do is one of the worst things one has
to do. They were only cats but I had to do it three times in a two year
period and it crushed me. One was 15, one 11, and one 9. I said I
would never have pets again because of it. Of course a year later I
had another cat. I never will have more than one animal at a time
again though. It's too tough to deal with at the end. I'm really sorry
you have to deal with it now. My only advice is think of the dog more
than yourself. Don't make him suffer just to keep him around.
Take care.

You had to say cry didn't you. I love animals but probably wouldn't watch it because of the sadness factor.
I was all for Marley and Me and until I saw it was a tearjerker and now I won't watch it. Hell, I'm still traumatized
from Old Yeller. Here's an example of how much I like animals. This happened yesterday. I was sitting here at
the computer when something caught the corner of my eye. I thought it was my cat so I didn't even look. Then
it caught my eye again and this time it was about 5 times bigger than my cat. There was a dog walking between
my couches. I was like "Hey!!" and it walked back into my kitchen. I was clapping at it to go outside. It would take
a couple of steps and then look back. When it got outside on my steps it stopped and was looking back at me.
It was an old dog and I was feeling sad for it. I called the wife at work and left a message telling her about the dog.
When she got home she drove up town and bought a 16 pound bag of dogfood. Now were just waiting for the old
dog to come back. As you can tell my wife loves animals too.
And Vail., I saw the preview for Cowboys... two days ago. That looks like it will be cool. Seems original too. Not too many
westerns(if any) with Aliens.(LOL) I'll probably hit the drive-in for that one.

Yup. It would have been nice if they shaved off at least 30 minutes. Cool to hear Bad Teacher at least has some good music. The Ripper!  For Transformers 3 we got Linkin Park again. 
The next movie I'm thinking about watching is Cowboys and Aliens. Looks funny.

Before that I saw Bridesmaids and enjoyed that, it was funny!

Holy shit. I was the last one to post here?!?
Anyhoo...movie I highly recommend to anyone who is an animal (dog, specifically) lover - "Hachi: a Dog's Tale (2009)." Richard Gere, Jason Alexander and, most importantly, a great akita dog. Real story and good for the whole family. www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/

I sure as hell would (like my hours back from the 2010 fiasco, that is)! More like 12 hours as I kept falling asleep. HORRIBLE film. Poor acting, bad story (move it to CHINA?) had that one kid with a pseudo-mohawk just so you could tell him apart from the others. MISERABLE movie. That is putting it lightly.

Yes, not a patch on the original with Macchio and Morita. I still watch it every time it's on, seen it about 900 times so far. They should have brought Ralph Macchio in for a cameo somehow.

I am an insomniac and damned if I didn't find my cure. Film put me to sleep 8 times but I was gonna finish it, damnit! Having now done so, I feel like I have given birth.

Forget water-bording. This film was pure torture and will be deleted and zero-ed out of my harddrive. Avoid like the plague. Must go vomit....

I've been wanting to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats, but have not gotten around to it yet. Reviews were mixed from what I remember, but the trailers looked pretty funny. I'll have to order it up on Netflix. Thanks for the mini review.

I saw that movie last week with a friend. Sweet movie, pretty Star Wars-ish (is that even a word?). I was expecting some more 3D effects, though, so in that field I was a tad disappointed.
