This thread always puts a smile on my face!!!
But I'm wondering if there's any news on Sam?
Thank you for the concern. He's home thank you. Defied vetinary science, and definitely used up one of his lives this time! Making huge improvements to the point that he went on a couple of very short walks today. Still on antibiotics until next week when he gets his official sign-off, but for now it's just a wait and see how much of a recovery he makes. He's currently at 75%ish, but is happy, hungry, and has his personality back, so even if he doesn't get his full stamina back, he'll enjoy life!But I'm wondering if there's any news on Sam?

My Dad is so poorly. He’s just been in hospital for a week. Picked him up tonight, it’s not good but I think he now just wants to be at home. With his dog. Managed to gently walk my Dad in to his lounge where he sat down and Alfie came straight to him and pushed his head in to Dad’s lap. My Dad started sobbing. In all my years I’ve seen him cry once and heard him once (when he was diagnosed I saw and heard when he had to have a dog PTS in the ‘80s). Alfie lay at his feet then went to pick up his chew he’s had for six months and not touched in the past week. I left them together

Sorry to read what you are going through with your dad.e]
Dogs are just amazing in their perception of our emotions.
love the photos you have been posting of your two
Sorry to hear that, agree about dogs perceptions, always helps having them around at times like that. All the best.

I bet he'd rather have his dog with him than any human in the world. I know I would. The fact that they don't know how to use words means that they don't use the wrong ones.

This just made me cry. So true. I bet he'd rather have his dog with him than any human in the world. I know I would. The fact that they don't know how to use words means that they don't use the wrong ones.
Since the 1960s my parents have owned and bred Chows. Dad’s dogs have meant the world to him. I know Alfie does now. I posted about them in the rare breed thread.
Thanks to all for the thoughts and kind words.

That was hard to read. I'm very sorry for the way things are but the dog "angle" in the situation says a lot about both your Dad and the relationship some of us are lucky to have with dogs.Before my Dad died, he was a lifelong dog owner. He was a chronic diabetic and suffered greatly with it for years. One of our dogs was a troubled soul - a little difficult and occasionally snappy. He probably had early onset dimentia (the dog - not Dad) and yet whenever Dad started to slip into a diabetic coma, the dog (Boris) would sit next to him and press hard against him. This would happen 30 mins before it was "too late" and Dad would pass out. Dad quickly learned to trust Boris and do something about his blood sugar levels.
From what you wrote, I don't know how or whether to wish you a positive outcome but it's heartening to read how your Dad seeks comfort in the dog.
Wondering where the wolf had been. I love her.
Started recording a little too late they were spinning around creating a dust storm

I don't want to be the party-pooper, but hopefully you have seen this https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/991419/UK-heatwa...

Here's mine (jack) he's 15 and a cross between a Jack russel and I suspect a beagle. Still very happy and cheeky as ever, slowing down a little now and his hearing and eyesight aren't what they used to be sadly. Means everything to me and I've had him from 5 months when I was 7, he's been a great accomplice growing up.
Only downside is he has a penchant for bin diving given the slightest opportunity, guess no ones perfect! Here's his 'I've done something I shouldn't have' face.
This is Iris our german shepard. We live in France and got her from a shelter. She is 5 years old.
Sad story in that her owner lost a leg so could not look after her.
Was very withdrawn when we got her but is now full of life.
She is bi lingual now
