We just found out Indi (Indiana, on of our dogs) is in the early stages of heart failure, she is 10 but might get a couple more years. This is how the dog she replaced, Molly, went at 8. Which is kind of unfortunate, but an issue with the species, their hearts give out before anything else.

Lulu however, is still going strong, she is 11 in a couple months - and got run over when she was 1, has a plate in her pelvis and everything.

Thats shit news mate. I remember the day we were told my dog of 18 years (chihuahua x pom) had a tumor in his mouth.

It was inoperable and after a year he was gone.. heart wrenching aye.

When you thunk abiut it, its so silly how much we get attached to animals. They dont understand us, we dont understand them, yet, we both love each other so much.. hmmm

18 years for a dog is a motherfuckin' good run.

my grandfather had a chihuahua in Poland that apparently lived to about 26 years.

Sorry to hear this.
I always get a lump in my throat when I hear news like this about dogs.

Well we've only had one dog and a cat (put down because massive cancer) pass away in my lifetime. The other 2 dogs were stolen from us when we lived in boganville. I still remember how Molly went, its quite a story. Spoilered because sad/sappy.

Spoiler

The day before she is happy, we know something isn't right because she is very happy and interacting with everyone - playing like a puppy. That night I was playing Halo 3 in the lounge with a headset on, hot summer night in 2007, around 3am. Suddenly the power cuts. WTF. Take headset off and I can hear Lulu freaking out in laundry, in and out of the dog door - she keeps running around to the sliding door (where I am) and back to the laundry. I find a torch and walk down the hallway and there is a Cane Toad in the middle, laundry door is closed as usual - wtf? That never happens. I open the door to find Molly on her side in the middle, her breathing eratic. I can tell she is practically gone already. I wake parents up - Molly waits until mum pats her, then passes away.

The power cut to the entire neighbourhood - I have no idea, but got my attention and I was able to wake everyone and see her off. There was no storms, nothing.
The cane toad - maybe Lulu brought it in to help or something, and it squeezed under the door. Maybe the cane toad came in on its own and freaked them out enough for her heart to give out.
She waited atleast 2 minutes until Mum was able to come and see and we were all in the room, then went.

Sucks to lose a member of the family like that. Especially the only member of the family that knows ALL your secrets, but will never tell anyone.



Remember the good stuff!
