Thank you for all your kind words...

 

Unfortunately, our little one lost his brave fight yesterday. He died in my arms, and despite our vet's best efforts they were unable to revive him. We are devastated....

Saturday ES report, see man:

18 hours ago, TBoneTX said:

We are itinerarying one ES for Saturday, in FST man.

This ES yielded the take, see man:

 -- medium-sized bordered mirror = $2 + half a buck, steal man

Total = $2 + half a buck

We belatedly recall that June Many'th (2+2th) was the Many'th (2+2+1th) anniversary of having to euthanize Miu T-B. #2, miss fat fluffy miu Two Guys man.  She expired in Mini-B.'s lap, bye miu man.

 

This is why we didn't complain about up-mopping current miu's barf from all over the kitchen floor this morning, no man.

They did not. They had two theories...

 

1) medical supplies dropped unknowingly to us by one of the home nurses.

2) something that had been there long before we adopted him.

 

The second option seems so strange to me, that he would have had this object hidden for so long, only giving him symptoms now. But he did come from a bad hoarding and neglect situation where he may have been desperate for food to survive. He was only 12lbs, but his organs were the size of a dog that was much bigger.. so they think it was quite some time. But we have had nurses come to the house for years now... so I don't know.

 

I always forget he was a tiny bit older when we got him. He died just two weeks shy of his 15th birthday. He still was such a happy little dog.

i'm leaning towards the 2nd one.  if it was something with the nurses, surely you would have noticed torn packaging lying about.
kids eat their own hair and it takes years for that to become an issue too, so that's why i'm thinking the 2nd one also.

He did like to lick his hair/groom himself. It was one of his very cat-like behaviors because we think he lived with cats at some point.

unrelated, but to show just how strange some dogs can be - 
about 20 some odd years ago, one of my dad's dogs chewed on a catfish's fins that was in a wading pool.   my stepmother had to feed the
dog cotton balls soaked in butter to get the shards from the fins through the dog.
