I know what you mean Pyramid! i have only one pic of my Molly and i cant stand to look at it without getting upset-maybe years from now it will be different.
Im sorry for your loss-dogs are like friends and family..
The reason I kinda feel bad is because he didnt even live to his 8th birthday. So I feel kinda guilty, like I wish I would have done more for the dog I guess. And also the manner in which he died was very sad.
He was actully a stray dog we rescued. He was found when he was a puppy about 9-10 months old in the street being attacked by two other dogs over food. He was literally skin and bones. You could see his whole skeleton.
We took him to the vet they gave him shots and sewed him up from his attack and gave us medicine to put in his food. Because since he was starving, his body would reject food.
It took him awhile to get used to human contact, and it took a few months for him to put on weight. He was a very loyal dog too. I think because he was grateful for being saved, its like he had a family.
I figured since he was about 10 months when we got him, I did the math and figured he was born around late july or early august. So I made his birthday August 1st. He got really sick all of a sudden and lost tons of weight and wouldnt eat etc, he didnt even have any energy, we had to put him asleep. I hated to do that.
