Dogs

Come on in Lenny.
—Nah I’m good.
Then he will win the staring contest until I walk inside. He wants private vitamin D time.

 

Beagle gang gang! Old beagles are the best beagles

 

my wife’s dog had to go pee at 2:45 this morning

 

They are cute but they've got the appetite of a goat.

 

Getting there is hard

 

Lol no doubt. Keeping them from running off on a scent is a full time job.

 

They're handfuls

 

Lenny often needs to go #2 in middle of the night but won’t wake us up. In the morning I find 2 little perfect terds in front of the downstairs half bath toilet.

 

A beagle will eat the seat out of a lawnmower/ 4-wheeler.

 

We'll all be on that schedule at some point.

 

Taking my best bud in for oral surgery. Talked to him about it as he sat in my lap on the way. Told him what was happening and where we were going, then he turned his back on me.

 

Found out last week that my 14 y/o beagle has 3 tumors. So that's been a struggle.

 

I hope they’re the kind he/she can live through without being in pain for a few years. 14 years is a good run, but for a good dog 50 isn’t long enough.

 

Sucks

 

That does suck.

 

She has somewhere between days and a few months. She's still acting largely like her normal self, but when she deteriorates it will happen quickly over a day or two. In some ways that makes it worse for me, but it's probably better for her that way. When she slides it'll be time to let her go. I've had her for longer than I've known my wife.

 

So sorry my friend.

 

You have given that dog a great run and you should take some comfort in that. I may as well be talking to myself because I know I will be in your shoes any time now.

That down on the Gulf Mexico, Destin/Panama Cityish?
