They are such sweet little dogs. How'd their checkups go? Good, I hope.

Mostly yes, but the breed is subject to heart conditions (particularly mitral valve disease) and they are showing some signs of it, but nothing drastic. Getting them checked earlier than our last 2 so hopefully we catch the deterioration and start medication early.

Smart, Rick.

And glad to hear they're okay and it's nothing too drastic.

They're staring at you like, "Dad, when are we moving into our new house?"













Sorry, saw your post in the your new house thread...

Just about the same work ethic as Tiggie...

My big boy Cayman was diagnosed last year with kidney failure. He made an awesome effort to almost make 10 years old and only missed it by 2 months.
He will be crossing the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow evening. There will be many of his brothers waiting to welcome him.
I’m going to miss my big boy.

So sorry to hear. Remember the fun times with him.
We will have to go thru this also with our's sooner than later.

Looks like a very sweet dog. Sorry to hear.

[RickFLM4]

Very sorry to hear. He looks like a great buddy.

Damn, really sorry to hear that. He's had an amazing and loving 10 years, I'm sure.

So sorry to hear it. Somewhere is a saying to the effect of: the price of being grieved is to have been loved so dearly. Know that Cayman lived a good life and will be playing with his brothers, waiting to reunite with you some day.

Cayman has passed. We stopped at Dairy Queen on our way to the Vet. He got a hamburger, fries. and a cup of vanilla soft ice cream. He ate everything at the park and he was loving the ice cream. Thank you all for the support and kind comments.

That’s a nice way to remember your boy. We did that as well when we had to put our cat to sleep. Did many things on that last day to make him happy. Also makes for a cherished memory.

Sorry for your loss.

RIP Cayman

Every single day. I don’t get it. Why not choose the size appropriate bed? Just a couple of nuckle heads.

Sorry to hear man. That’s rough. Just saw this thread and this post hits home for me. My dog became lethargic all of a sudden after a check up at the vet this past Wednesday. Did a blood transfusion and such at an emergency place per recommendation. He’s still lethargic and not eating much (mainly drinking water). We’re hoping it’ll pass and he’ll have more time with us, but we don’t know. Just taking it day by day. I’ve been really sad and cried over it. Have had him 15 years.

Been going back and forth whether to have euthanasia at home or at the vet, and communal cremation or private. I don’t think we want an urn with his ash. We probably want to spread it somewhere like the beach (took him there a bunch of times and he liked it - and car rides). Hoping for the best but not sure how long he has. His brother will miss him for sure. We got them both at the same time.

Sorry to hear your buddy is having issues. I hope and pray he gets better.We always get a private cremation. I have 4 urns with all my Rottweiler ashes. My youngest Rotty Bimmer seems to be withdrawn and depressed. He is getting a lot of attention as you can imagine. I think he will be fine. My wife doesn't want 2 Rotties at a time anymore but we shall see. I took this picture of Bimmer yesterday.
