A serious disturbance in the force at our house today.

Old boss dog came home from the veterinarian stoned out of her mind and wearing a "cone of shame."

Her minions are distraught.

We will find out next week if the tumor removed was malignant.

However it turns out she is a grand old lady who achieved much starting out life as a starving flea-bitten mangy terrified mutt found at a truck stop.

We have a dog that's getting old. It's sad watching him decline.

She's still going strong though.

Hope "old boss" is A-Okay and keeps you running for awhile yet.

I remember when our dog was sick, horrible feeling. They give you so much unconditional love, you feel so guilty when they fall ill.

work for your dog (not all dogs are suited to them, if they are very flexible and the wound is low enough, they might not do). You thread them through their collar and blow them up.
