I found this to be exceptionally sad, but yet, incredible because it speaks to the love & devotion of the dog!!!! Esp.... Retrievers I think!? As I have Brittany's, & they have this kind of loyality & devotion!
I also have a Dalmation! And, she is slowly dying! She has cancer! And, she has a really bad place on her face that needs tended to but I don't have the money right now! And, it is getting worse! I fear that if she does not die on her own soon, that I may have to use some of my upcoming FA to have her put to sleep! This is a task that I do not wish to do!!! I just never have the guts or the courage for such a task! I am a coward when it comes to such a tradgedy! For me!? There is nothing worse than being put into that position!!!
But I see her suffering more & more! Though I don't think that she is quiet at the point of putting down yet!? Nevertheless!? I am sad for her already! And, in some ways for me, as it will be a great loss!!! I have had her since she was 2! She was a rescue/adoption!? I instantly bonded with her & made her a promise that we would be together until death due us part!!! And, so it will be!!!

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...

BTW, Paint.. what is FA? Just curious. I have a cat I am extremely close to and he has diabetes and it is hard sometimes.
How awesome that you have such a great bond with your dalmation. It's always a hard decision when to help a pet that is suffering. Somehow, I always seemed to know when it was time. Broke my heart still.
Hope you're doing alright.
