Fiddleback Fourlegged Friends

My black Lab girl Jessie (a.k.a. “J-Dog). She is going to be 12 this July and still raring to go.

The curious look…





The wet “I love you” look…





The thoughtful look…

 

I'm more of a dog guy, but I about died laughing when I walked around the corner and saw my daughter and the cat.

 

That is classic!

Need some smoke guys. My 14 year old min pin Rocco, winner of the "I keeeel you award" is in pretty bad shape. He was fine yesterday, but had real bad shakes and vomiting today. He's week and in a lot of pain. I cried my eyes out thinking this was the last trip to the vet we'd ever share together. The Drs did blood work and we'll find out what the real problem is tomorrow.

Do Rocco and I a favor- If you have a dog, take him for a long walk and tell him he/she is a good boy or girl the whole way. When you get home, give him a treat and tell them they're a good dog. Love them, you just never know...

Here's my boy basking in his favorite spot.

Smoke on its way from SW FL......may take a while to get there so tell Rocco to hang in there.....you do the same.

Thoughts are with you and Rocco. He looks like a good boy. My folks have a mini pin and despite an ear-piercing bark he's the most loving puppy around.

 

Smoke on its way for you and Rocco. Hang in there Joe. I'll give extra kisses and treats too my two, and tell them to send dog smoke to Rocco.

Thanks for the comments guys. It was a rough day.

 

Sorry Dudeman!

 

Joe,
I'm really sorry to hear about your pup; hang in there and smoke sent. As recommended I gave some extra love to my two this evening -- please know we are all pulling for you, Rocco and your family.

-will

 

Love that breed...in case you can't tell by my moniker....

Your personal protection GSD is incredible.

im so sorry duder



edit
i just went and maximus a treat and told him hes a good boy

 

Me and the pups send prayers your way.

 

Duder,

I am praying for Rocco and you. I hope that you find out that he just ate something that didn't agree with his stomach. My dog Jessie eats bitter grass and/or weeds to make her self throw up when something is bothering her stomach.

I noticed that Rocco has the "tuxedo" colors going on with the brown and white highlights in his face and paws. Is he what influenced your favorite handle set-up?

Keep us posted on the news.

Love and smoke from Cali. Sucks that some of the best friends we could ever have are lost so quickly. Keep your chin up brother.

Edit- make that love and smoke from the Central Valley. Didn't realize that you were (fairly) local to me.

Keep us updated.

 

Hope Rocco heals up quick Duder.

 

Man Duder. Just now reading this. Smoke and prayers headed your way brother.

 

Duder, hope Rocco heals up quick. I need him to scare the crap out of me again with his "I keeeel you" look.

 

Man, thanks for all the comments a PMs guys. This is truly a great sub forum that attracts good people. Yesterday was very tough on my family, Rocco and I. Yesterday was the first time I've gone to bed at 8pm in decades. Your comments mean more to me than I can put into words.

Update:
The vet says Rocco may be experiencing pancreatitis. I think he may have eating some scraps that my 4 or 5 year old may have given him? We have more blood work to do and hopefully a short two day stay at the vet hospital and it looks like he'll pull through.

Thanks again guys. You all are awesome.
