It\’s important we share things we find out, so I will share that Boots\’ stool was extremely pungent (stinky) and since we had his anal glands expressed, and got on the antibiotics, they don\’t smell at all. Soooo…if your pets\’ feces are unusually smelly, it could be a sign of a medical need. -

@anydoglover Is this darling Abby, Michelle? What a cutie. Will you tell us about her, and your lives together? How did you meet, and when? And Michelle, how are you doing? Was your parting recent? We’re here with understanding of your grief, and support. Sending you my sympathy. Toni

Oh my, Chere, you and yours have been through so much loss in such a condensed period, you must be raw. And yes, our other pets grieve, too. I am so very sorry for your sorrows and hope that somewhere, sometimes, you find smiles before tears with your memories. Please do keep us posted, and if you have it in you and would like to reach out with support to others here who are grieving, it means a lot. I’ll be thinking of you all…please accept and share this {{HUG}} Toni -

@cherre Hello Cherre. Welcome to our caring community of pet lovers. I am very sorry for your parting from Curlee. What kind of pet was Curlee? How did you come to that name – it’s so cute and different. May we see some pictures? Are you doing okay, Cherre? We understand the pain and joy, and you can share with us. Toni

This was Boots at the vet yesterday, fascinated by the wall clock (the motion of second hand ticking). His anal glands were very clogged and had to be expressed. He\’s on antibiotics for a week and is doing well. -

Maybe it’s good she wasn’t suffering for a long time with the mass. It’s easy to say we know we will say goodbye one day, but it sure is a deep pain when we do. I think there are pets with whom we have special bonds, and you and Bessie have that. What a darling girl she was, Dianne. How lucky to have shared your lives. I imagine June 4th is a happy/sad day each year and do let us know what’s going on. -

Good morning.I wanted to show you the love of my life who I miss every single day.This is Bessie.I adopted her when she was just a year and a half old.She has been my loving companion,my traveling companion and my ultimate best friend.Her birthday was June 4,2002.I didn\’t know how or why she suddenly stopped eating abruptly.I found out when I took her to the vet that morning,she had a large mass in her belly,and the vet said the best thing was to put her to sleep.My heart died the day she left me.As much as I love Bessie,I haven\’t gotten over her leaving me.She was the sweetest little dog in the world.She was Sheltie and German Shepherd.She loved me as much as I still love her.-

Cathy, my old girl went blind (initially due to high blood pressure – you might get hers checked), and became deaf, but she did well with it and got around fine. Their other senses are so good, I think they do better than we would. Let us know what you find out – we’d like to know. Good luck 🙂 -

Thank you Tay.
The little calico has the eye injury that we have been treating since I got her and vet says it is getting better. I think she is very hard of hearing or deaf. Will have to get vets opinion but she is a very sweet happy girl so guess it does not matter to her.
Your babies are beautiful. We are so lucky to have them. -

Toni,thank you for the information about Waggle.For me,I have to put this on Facebook and I cannot do that because of personal information and I was hacked into. -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 7 months ago
Dianne, you really should apply to http://www.waggle.org
They pay vet bills if your application is approved. Call me if I can help you with that.

Thank you Toni.
When I moved to my house,she had a black,flat,thin as a dime thing,and it didn’t change size.But the Monday before Christmas,when I took a fall,I had to walk Princess.She sat down in the grass,and a few days later,what was small,grew into a nasty looking mass.And it broke open,I cleaned it out,and it went down.Then it puffed back up.She bits it,and she opened it up.I keep it clean and have tried wrapping it was gauze,but she’s not having it.Please don’t think I am a bad pet mom.With what resources I have,and nobody to really take me to the vet,I am stuck.
Waggle seems nice,but I cannot do that as I am on SSI.I don’t have anyone to help me donate to because I don’t have Facebook. -

@hirtle-arenburg Hi Shelley, and welcome to our caring community of pet lovers. I am sorry for your loss of King. It’s so very hard to say goodbye. Are you doing okay? Will you tell us about your life with King, and share some photos?

Oh Dianne, I join you in your concern for Princess and will anxiously await your news. http://www.Waggle.org may be able to help with vet bills if she needs surgery, and you could ask them if they provide services like rides. Perhaps a shelter or rescue has volunteers to drive you? Find ones in your area by using the drop-down menu in our “Find Services” tab: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/find-services/
Social media (and technology in general) is great when it works, and a nightmare when things go wrong. Good idea to stay off Facebook for awhile. It’s such a shame people screw things up by doing bad things.
I’m glad you’re back with us and we’ll be here for you and Princess. Share my {{HUG}} with her. Toni -

Hi Toni and everyone.Well I am finally back to normal after my Facebook page was compromised.I lost my old Facebook account,but have a new one and right now, I am not adding anyone to play it safe.
My dog Princess has a large mass near her bum,and it broke open,but I am cleaning it out every day.She has a vet appointment soon,and I am praying it’s not cancer.When you don’t drive,it’s hard to find someone willing to take you to the vet.
Just say prayers,it’s not the big C.-

You’ve outdone yourself with this one, Susan. The picture alone is a sure cheer-me-up :-).
By the way, after saying goodbye to my sweet love in February, I can attest that having “Boots” in my life has certainly brightened my life. Hopefully he will be with me permanently. I’ll keep everyone posted. And Susan, THANK YOU again, always, for your fun, clever and kind posts. {{Big Hugs}} - Load More
