Misty (did I tell you I got a puppy?)

[Rachel Sobran]

good, hip dysplasia is bad and my friends dog has it so bad he might be put down.

Since this very old thread has been reincarnated, I thought it would be nice if I were to thank @BeeBee*BeeLeaves for her helpful information. Since this post, about a year and a half ago, I've been giving Misty the turmeric, vit. c, glucosomine and MSM every other day and I'm happy to say that she's pain free and shows no signs of bad hips.

Oh yay! You are quite welcome Yvonne. Made my day to read this.
Happy-happy! For you and for baby Misty! Dancing for joy over here! : )

Misty crossed the rainbow bridge in April, 2023. RIP my faithful companion.

Very sorry for you. Will you get another dog or not?

Very sorry for you. Will you get another dog or not?

I'm trying to decide if it would be very selfish of me to get another as my daughter would be the one saddled with my dog and cats when I die (I'm 85 this year, so not much time left on my clock). But I live in a semi rural area and having a big dog with a big bark was very comforting to me in my solitary life.

I've always said I value my aloneness, and love being alone. But until I lost Misty I didn't realize that I WASN'T alone, and NOW I am!

Sorry for your loss. Maybe rescue a puppy that you and your daughter pick out?

 

[SinLA]

So sorry for your loss!

My family knows I will take any pet they get if something happens to them, so it depends on if YOU think she will be "saddled" or SHE thinks she will be saddled.

I'm sorry for your loss, xxx

I like this idea, but instead of a puppy, maybe a senior dog or middle aged dog?

I’m sorry for your loss, Yvonne. If you were to get another dog, I have a feeling that your daughter would be comforted too, in knowing you’re not alone and have a protector. ❤️

It would not be selfish to get another dog of any age or breed no matter how old you are. There is a dog out there that wants your love and it will love you more than it loves itself even if it's only for a short time.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I myself you not let my age be the deciding factor. Sadly our time is limited young or old we never know when it is time.
