whoa
sorry about that
but dig his center part

I like that dog.

Oh, I'm sorry, La Lachera. Cockers have a real unparalleled sweetness. You've had each other for a good long time, and I'm sure he loves you.

At my parents' house in Oxford, have discovered a rather sad and lost looking old black lab sitting on the front steps. She has a mobile no. on her tag, but no answer from there, so we've let her into the garden.

She seems quite happy in the garden, blithely strolling through and rooting around in the borders, or rolling on the grass

Following a call to the dog warden, she has been collected by her owner. Didn't seem overly eager to be returning home! Apparently she is nine years old, and the last time she went missing she got on a bus headed for Wantage, 20 miles away!

That is an excellent grass roll, especially the first photo.

today we had to say goodbye to our little man, the best littledog who ever was and ever will be

can't stop crying
don't want to talk about it, but feel i should mention it here as there are photos of my boy upthread

my heart feels like it's in a vice whenever i think of him

i'm so so sorry, i loved those photos you posted of him, he looked like such a darling, i was admiring him just a couple of weeks ago when this thread was last revived.

Molly on the left is my 11 year old baby girl! Maggie on the right isn't old but she is huge!

They are best buddies and they have bows on for the festive season.

(Not my dog; my aunt and uncle's.)

I just read the entire plot of the movie Old Dogs on wikipedia and still have no idea what it's about

Dan and Charlie make it out of the gorilla enclosure and into the penguin exhibit, where the penguin's attack Charlie as Dan hurries away. After once again finding he will not be able to make it to the party, he spots a superhero who has been hired by Vicki to fly in, as Emily wanted a superhero.

Robin Williams plays a penguin, I hope.

the previews are inscrutable. Like SETH GREEN GETS A GOLF BALL IN THE NADS THE MOVIE

in the profile of robin williams in the times the other week, all they said about this movie was that he didn't want to talk about it.

For what i've read on wiki, I'm gonna guess this was a wacky, mildly raunchy teen-comedy that Disney realized was terrible, so they neutered it and are marketing it as a family movie. But that's just a guess

a teen comedy starring john travolta and robin williams? i think it was meant to be a middle-aged man comedy in the vein of "wild hogs" which the director also directed.

Tired Logs

Just realizing I thought that Andy Samberg movie about the motorcycle guy was called "Wild Hogs."

My parents had to put Molly (one the left) to sleep today. She was nearly 14 and was in pain. I know it's for the best but it's still sad. Dogs shouldn't die god dammit!

sorry to hear that. our dog -- an 11-year old black lab mix -- has a pretty comfortable life: lots of sitting, periodic walks. she used to have so much energy, she was exhausting. now, lots of sitting. we love her like mad.

classic.

I'm sorry to hear about that, too. Snowflake, our 16-17 year old miniature Eskie, is still healthy enough to play with the three other little dogs. The only difference is that she doesn't bark anymore--she makes an odd howling/squalking sound.

haha I love the little face he is making. "Seriously, why?"

our lab-mix is about 10 years old, which is v. old for a "jumbo" dog (i say "about" because josie was a stray who wandered up to us while we were walking our (then 11 month-old) daughter, so i'm basing the estimate on the vet's best guess). josie is a total classic. she has always been so protective of, and looked out for, our daughter.

awesome thread & I'm relieved to see it has nothing to do w/ John Travolta, Tim Allen or Martin Lawrence.

Happy 10th bday, Mr Afraid of Everything

HAPPY BDAY CARL!!!!

That's great doggie right there.

Kenny the whippetlurcher is 17 and a half, the oldest dog in Bloomsbury. His arthritis is making him slowly sit down a lot, people walking him need to pull his lead taut to make sure he doesn't backward-somersault from a standard poo crouch, he can't do stairs apart from up/down curbs, he's gently senile and selectively deaf, and he has cataracts. But he'll have flashes of activity: a slow canter on the lead, whirly food dances when I'm putting his bowl together (expensive renal diet - did I mention his kidneys? - and bits of chicken for smuggling in his Vivitonin, Tramadol, and kidney pills), and the sleep-running he does every night, at exactly 12 am. He's stretched out asleep on my bed right now. Ken still eats with vigour, but can't finish a meal without sitting down.

Everything's pointing toward the end, and I think he's in a certain amount of pain because of the way he breathes now. At some point after the New Year, we've decided to pick a day and summon the mobile vet, but nothing's properly decided yet. But this is so hard, because he's such a gorgeous dog in every respect and so very, very loved.

what a beauty he is.

I love when they smile as they sleep, it makes you feel like you've done a good job.

Sadly, letting go is part of the very, very loved part imo

What a lovely old doggie. Such a nice life he's had!

kenny <3 and :(

happy christmas Kenny
