Doggo Thread

[Methais]

It appears that we either don't have a dog thread, or it has a stupid name that "dog" produces no results for in thread titles.

We are all terrible people.

However, a great beagle has come to our rescue. The beagle of all beagles. The only beagle who can play guitar, fly airplanes, and deflate Baby Yoda.

Not my dog. It's clearly Charlie Brown's dog:

Found out today my dog, Charlie, has a detached lens and needs it removed. Tomorrow at 7AM he's having it taken out, for about $4K. I'm not worried about the cost... I think having pets comes with responsibility and this is my burden to carry for all the love he gives me.

The good news is he likely will not lose his eye, but will obviously have vision impairment in his eye. We'd been treating it as glaucoma for about 3 weeks now, and it just go progressively worse. We took him right away at the first sign of discomfort, but had no idea it could get this bad, this fast.

Apparently terriers are prone to this, so if you have a terrier and their eye becomes cloudy, take them to a vet asap.

Here he is (front seat) somewhere in Utah (wife and I did a road trip through Colorado, Utah and Nevada last Christmas).

Hows that for shitty pictures?!

[Methais]

Poor doggo but at least he can keep his eye.

I just spent $2000 after one of my pigs caught some bacterial infection that caused sepsis and almost killed him. Fortunately LSU vets are badass as fuck. Was waiting until Cyber Monday to order a new PC and an Oculus Rift, then naturally my pig gets sick on Thanksgiving.

I GUESS NO GS IN VR FOR ME FOR NOW!!!!!! Which is the best way to play especially if you like parrying.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Exactly. Wife just got home and I told her Merry Christmas. It sucks but I wouldn't trade time with him away for anything.

Wait...you paid $2k for a pig? I would have just had ham for Thanksgiving.

Am I the only one here who won't spend significant money on vets for anything other than routine care, vaccinations and maintenance?

We love our pets and we take good care of them, but I'm not lining a vet's pocketbook just so one of them will live another year or two.

I think if an animal has some severe problems and you're throwing money at a vet, you're just doing more damage and making those last couple moments awful.

It depends on the situation and their expected quality of life. If it will give them another year or two with good quality of life, then I don't see why not. But if they're just gonna be miserable for that year or two instead, then no, because that's just being a selfish dick.

My pig is only 2 though, and potbelly pigs typically live 15-20 years, so I have no regrets over that bill. Which GS paid for anyway. :lol:

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I will pay anything for a pet with years of life in them, if it will address whatever ails them. So long as there is a pain free solution I'll do it. If their quality of life starts to suffer, that's where I draw the line.

I think that's the responsibility of anyone who owns a pet.

Strongly agree with both.

Same. That's part of the contract. Pets aren't objects to be discarded when it becomes inconvenient.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

LOL, My wife just screamed upstairs... I go running up... turns out a cat had come in our doggy door and was in the kitchen eating dog food.

We don't have a cat.

I'm reviewing the video and if it captures the cat I'm going to die laughing.

[audioserf]

My dog Smitty acts like the wild dickhead to any cat he's ever seen - except when he goes to get groomed. Our groomer grooms pets out of her home, and she apparently has a little black kitten now. I saw the cat one time when picking him up, and I was like, "Uh oh, was Smitty a jerk to your cat?" Apparently they're bros! I know your dirty secret now, doggo!

Here is our boy Smitty. He's 12 (we think). We adopted him in 2011. He's the fuckin best. Shihtzu Poodle near as we can tell, ended up caught as a stray and taken in by ASPCA, where we got him. 20lbs of salty fury.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

So I reviewed our cams, it's a big cat, I'm guessing a Maine coon. Was in our kitchen (we have 3 dogs) like he was the boss for 30 minutes.

I put out some food for him outside, I feel bad for cats that their owners just let them run wild... those cats are for sure getting run over at some point.

I agree to an extent. It becomes a complex issue though when we are talking about a person on a fixed income or a family that has to come first economically. And while it's glib to say that people who can't afford expensive vet visits should not have pets, well, I'd never tell an elderly person that they shouldn't have the comfort of a pet because one day in the future they might face exorbitant emergency vet costs; nor would I criticize them for choosing to euthanize their cat or dog instead. Nor would I encourage someone with marginal income to take out a high interest line of credit to pay for vet care for their dog so that it will live a little longer. My husband and I are supporting aging parents and have children with upcoming college expenses. Although we could still afford it, we won't pay thousands of dollars for a vet. That money is staying in the bank. So while I respect people who spare no expense to save their pets, sometimes the decision has to be economic and not sentimental.

We come from families that hunt and trap and/or farm though. We aren't sentimental types.

[Astray]

I mostly refer to animals that are in their later years.

They had a good, long, hopefully happy dozen or so years. It's wild when I see people putting down younger animals because of surgery requirements. Cancer or something else completely inoperable is where I would draw the line. And I'd feel like a dick.

Oh man, what a bummer. This thread is now about puppies with cancer.

We have a couple great vets around here that are non-profits. A $50 visit to one of them would have cost me $400 at my previous vet.

I hunt, have a family that traps and farms. I don't disagree with anything you said. My family has working dogs who tend the herd, they live in a barn. I have no dreamkillers or germ donkeys, so I can afford to take care of my dogs in a different way than people with kids. If your kid needed a lens removed, I'm sure you'd pay for it. I feel the same about my kids, our dogs.

I am usually pro cop. But yeah fuck this guy.

Sad to say, since dogs are treated as property, the most the owners will probably get is enough money to buy a new dog. Which is sad

I highly doubt the cop will get any repercussions professionally.
