You do your best for them in their last days, and I think they know it. Still hurts like a MF, even with this much time. I feel for all the Tbogg family; this stuff is hard.

I happen to surf by to see the doggies and I read this and my heart breaks. I am still missing my little one.

Bro sezs it takes about a day or so at home of freezing the entire family out before she returns to normal.

Of course, we’re the kind of soft-hearted idiots whose response to living with an elderly girl dog with chronic bladder problems, a teenage boy dog who dribbles at both ends when he gets excited, and a neutered-too-late male dog whose greatest non-food-related delight is to drag the sherpa lump known as ‘Zevon’s humpy pillow’ into the People Bed when we’re not there to discourage him… has been to invest in several top-quality waterproof mattress protectors and a washer big enough to handle king-sized mattress pads. I did try pointing out that ‘normal’ people would probably just lock the dogs out of the bedroom, but the Spousal Unit argued that half the joy of living with toy dogs is falling asleep with a furry little lump warming one’s toys or cuddled against one’s spine.
