tian447 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Easily the worst part of having a dog is having to say goodbye at some point. My pup just turned 1 recently, and it breaks my heart thinking that he'll be gone one day. Been through it so many times before, and it never gets easier. Love them and cherish every thing they do that makes you smile, or even the things that annoy you. They really are your best friends.

tian447 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 My dog has been away at the in-laws all day because my partner has been on call and it was easier for her to be there than at home. Went to pick him up tonight and the welcome was incredible. Full jumps up, crying, whining, licking my face, all over me. Jumping in my lap.... at 45kg, that's some doing I honestly prefer dogs to people, but he really is something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 A little interesting thing about dogs I recall reading. It said that dogs are the only animals who will respond to a specific human gesture, namely pointing. If you point a dog will look in that direction, he knows what it means, a chimp on the other hand will not look where you point. The dogs are so attuned to us, they know things about us we don't know. And i'm not exaggerating when I say that. Seen dogs do some incredible stuff. It was dog owners not the scientific community who first alerted science to the fact some dogs can somehow detect a seizure developing in owners, and give them warning to lie down it's coming. Amazing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 19 hours ago, henrysmithsgloves said: My pup is more protective since I had my stroke plus always licking my affected arm❤️ Sorry to hear about the stroke, a good dog always helps in difficult times. Regarding the dogs alerting people to a seizure about to happen that was first reported by an epileptic woman back in the 1990's when her golden retriever began warning her up to 20 minutes before the event. She said this was life changing, she had been afraid to go anywhere, even have a shower say, because she just never knew when she would have a seizure. Now she could go places and the dog would give her warning to find a safe location lie down and prepare. The scientists believed it, but had no idea how. Prior to that there had been been trained seizure response dogs. When the owner went down the dog would bark and try to raise the alarm, try to protest them in a number of ways. That can be trained but this even better solution cannot because we didn't know what they were responding to. If we can find it, we can train them. Quote from an article about it. Up to now, some scientists have guessed that the dog that was doing the alerting was responding to changes in behavior in the individual, perhaps in the way that they move. Other scientists have suggested that there are changes in the individual's scent, and still others have even speculated that the dogs can detect magnetic effects since it is known that physiological changes and excessive electrical activity in the brain precede epileptic seizures. A team of researchers headed by Neil Anthony Powell of Queens University in Belfast reasoned that the metabolic stress and the physiological changes which accompany the onset of a seizure might release volatile organic compounds, which dissolve in the blood and saliva and are eventually either exhaled as part of the respiratory process or appear as sweat. These volatile organic compounds might be detected by a dog's sensitive nose, thus providing a scent cue that a seizure is about to occur.

Going to see them today 😍 Restart your dog life, it's not disloyalty to a lost furry friend. My sister and her husband lost a 5 year old white German shepherd about 10 years or so ago now, swore to never go through that again and never have. They had been told by a vet sometime prior to the dogs death that she would inevitably die young, some sort of liver thing if I remember correctly. But at the time of diagnosis she was absolutely fine and energetic and was still like that at least a year later, can't remember how long in total she lasted healthy after diagnosis but it was sometime. The end came over a period of a couple of months or so and the final 3 weeks she hadn't eaten before they worked up the gumption to let her go. Traumatic I suppose and too traumatic for my sister in particular. This is a pic of that dog when still a pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Factor Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We got this absolute crackpot last year. Has cost us a fortune in vets fees, the first one was while we were on a caravan holiday when she was 4 months old. The previous residents of the caravan must've included someone that liked a "smoke". She's picked up one of the ends on the ground and swallowed it, and it's not been until a few hours later that we've realised that it wasn't a normal cigarette end. She was stoned out of her nut!

That thing you do Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) The one in black is ours the one in white is his BFF. They walk together every day and play in the evenings. She is off to live in Canada next month so hoping ours doesn't take it to badly. Ours (name is Benny) came from a rescue centre. Him and his brothers and sisters were found half suffocated in a bag and we adopted him from the shelter in Mexico City. Wonderful dog. I mentioned previously the one that passed away. Benny is 4 months old and last month was a year since our other one had to be put to sleep. Still miss her.
