tough work is house-training this lad, but I think we are going to make it! Sorry not trying to milk cute puppydom to the point of nausea, but just announcing he is now called Douglas because somebody I like a lot told me he looked more like a Douglas than a Dougal, and it made perfect sense at the time and now that is the name on his chip.

even as an outsider to your situation this makes me angry, you should NEVER apologize for puppydom, never in a million years, under the worst torture. you should instead do the exact opposite and post every single puppy moment that is possible. Douglas is just RIDICULOUS <3

when I took him for his first stage inoculation today. On the bus I carried him in an open sports bag which he pissed in and all over me. And such is his charms, despite me reeking of his piss there were lots of people fawning over him in the reception, and not saying: oi, you stink of dog piss!

Douglas had a very rough week. Two days of explosive diarrhea, vomiting, severe dehydration and then major surgery to have a sock removed from his small intestine. I was in tears on tuesday night, seriously thought he was fading away. My local private vets were fucking shit and actually ruled out a blockage on monday, maybe just trying to monetize his agony and charge me for another consultation rather than gaf about his life. Anyway Bradford PDSA delivered and I've donated £150 to them for being so fucking awesome and saving his life.

Aw man Douglas :( Get well soon little lad.

apparently Labs have a higher propensity for scavenging and swallowing things than other types of doogie. When he's better I'm only taking him out on a muzzle because he literally tries to eat everything, and some sick bassa has been scattering poisoned food around the park. Probably some knuckle dragging troglodyte from the rugby club ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)
― calzino, Thursday, 21 February 2019 16:45 (five years ago) link
my last Lab was quite sensible in that he'd chew through everything, but wouldn't swallow stuff.
― calzino, Thursday, 21 February 2019 16:47 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I once knew a black lab who chomped through a rotting sheep’s carcass and then puked maggots all over the carpet. She also had her head in the dishwasher half a second after you opened it, to lick the dirty plates.

I'm really sorry to hear about your dog, m bison. That's awful for anyone, especially a kid. :-/

yeah, im just glad i was the one who found him and not my wife -- who had this dog before we ever met -- or son. it was def his time, tho. he had already been losing his hearing and vision, and the last couple of months he was not the same dog. he didn't seem to be in pain, but his energy was v v low and he just looked like he was winding down.

carne asada's dog is so cute!
i moved into dog friendly, secure housing in october and the urge to adopt a dog is strong as hell. i am going to wait until i have some savings however as i already have a cat and i definitely can't afford potentially two unexpected veterinary bills coming in at the same time, and i wouldn't feel comfortable without a safety net in that respect.

This has been my line of thinking too (minus the cat). I've wanted a dog for years but I know I won't be able to afford a steep vet bill.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Friday, 22 February 2019 20:42 (five years ago) link
I can't afford steep vet bills and if I was reliant on them my pup would be in very bad shape or dead rn. I can't praise what the PDSA do enough.

my wife has us on some pet insurance that is surprisingly affordable and came in handy when our old dog got sick , it covered a fair share of the bills.

if i get another animal, i'm going to get pet insurance asap. the pre-existing conditions bullshit is definitely still a thing with animals. by the time we found out my dog had hip dysplasia, there was no way we could get insurance.

Douglas is on WW2 sized rations of boiled chicken and rice until his intestine recovers, but his appetite has completely returned. When I put the bowl down it is like like watching a whizzing blur of piranhas on a feeding frenzy, it's so funny.

We fostered a young black lab for a few months, and he managed to eat the best part of a 12 kg bag of dog food. Like, he just rammed that stuff down his gullet double-quick until he was completely misshapen. We had a trip to the vets at 11pm on a bank holiday. He was so stuffed with food, she was afraid it would rot inside him before he could break it down. So she knocked him out and manually worked that food through his system. Liquid paraffin poured in one end, literal punching of his stomach to work it into the food, then out the other end it came. It took an hour to clear him. We had to sleep in the living room with the back door open so he could continue the process.
Next morning, he was STARVING. You never met such a hungry dog in your life.

not really funny for the dog .. but lool! There is something quite comic about their grim obsession with food. My last Lab used to plot raids on the bin. He'd always be watching what went in and mount a knock the bin over and grab and run raid later. Obv this decreased in frequency as he got older, but the old dog still had a few tricks in him.

our surviving dog was breathing weirdly, so we took him into the vet and...he probably has cancer and only a few months left, if that. sheesh.
