Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Shir. He was very deeply loved, which is all a dog really wants.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I am so sorry Shir.
Oz is totally friendly, he loves people and does fine with other dogs (likely because of growing up with Maxine before she passed). He barks like a wild thing and will rush at people and animals, it's just that when he reaches them he's all tail wags and excited yelping.
I can hand him over to any stranger and he'll happily lick their faces or play ragdoll in their arms. He does not like small children petting him (they're not gentle enough), but his usual reaction to that is to tuck his head somewhere they can't reach.
He's also a bold thief. He will take anything from another dog/cat/some people no matter the size or how vicious. He begs for food and beer in a way that almost sounds as if he's trying to make out words. Here is Oz at the drive-thru [link]
I'm not sure if he's a typical mini doxie, but he's not at all fearful or anxious or bitey.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Shir.
kitty~ma to Max!
Enough with animals getting sick, universe. Just cut it out.

{{{{{Shir}}}}} I'm so sorry.
Thanks, Cass. The NFU looks like what I am looking for.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, Shir. You fought like hell for him in the end, which is all we can do.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I really can't believe he's gone (3 hours ago he was still alive!), but very relived to know he's not in pain anymore.
There's blood and fur on my clothes, blood and fur on my carpet, where he had the seizures. I was there with him when it happened.
I can't believe how non-functioned I got. My sis moved things, while I shivered and started weeping.
At the end, we all were in the room with him, petted him down to sleep and kissed him goodbye.
His stuff will be donated to the local RSPCA.
I uploaded some of his pictures to my Flickr, here, few days ago (changed the title today): [link]
Thank you for all of your comments. I really can't believe I won't see him again.

Such a beautiful boy. Peace to you Shir.
