Tiff, sorry to hear about your pooch. I am a big animal lover too, and it is always sad when there little souls leave. She is chasing squirrels now in doggie heaven!
Yay me!
Reservations made..... I'm excited about vaca.
Haven't had any type of vacation for a few years now.

Tiff, really sorry to hear about the pup, it's not easy.
Bad dog news week. My wife's sister-in-law got a pomeranian puppy for her mother as a 40th anniversary gift. They already have an older springer spaniel and both dogs are females. The pom went for a treat intended for the springer and the springer mauled the puppy and the puppy had to be put down. They were all really upset and traumatized over the ordeal.

Andy that is terrible. There is jealousy between my little corgi and my daughters male corgi. We don't leave them alone together and if I am watching their dogs I make sure they are separated whenever food is involved.
Yeah, it really is too bad, my wife's SIL is torn up and she blames herself. Both of my dogs will obey me if I correct them when misbehaving but Kaya is very territorial at our house. She does not like other dogs in her den, especially females. I always have had to watch her when we had guests that would bring their dog over for a visit so we tend to avoid doing that altogether at this point.
Not to add more sadness to the thread but my beloved Betta fish (aptly named, Finn) passed away two days ago. It may seem silly to some to get emotional over a fish but I tend to have strong feelings for all creatures, whether big or small. He had a huge personality and we really enjoyed playing with him - we had this routine where if you waved at him, even from several feet away, he would kind of shake his body and spread out his fins. He loved to watch TV from his tank, too, which is something I had never seen a fish do before. Anyway....
He somehow got dropsy, a rather nasty disease that causes fluid build up and eventually death as there is no cure. I tried my best to save him by switching out his tank with pre-treated water every day and administering antibiotics and epsom salts - it seemed like he was getting better for a day or two but he took a turn for the worse on Monday night. He spent most of the time at the bottom of the tank on his side and every so often he would swim really fast around the tank and then end up at the bottom again. You could kind of tell he knew what was going on and was fighting to keep going - it was heartbreaking to watch. My wife and I were there with him as he passed away and I felt better knowing he had company rather than being completely alone, although we were still brought to tears in the final moments. I made him a nice little coffin and filled it with his aquarium rocks and the plastic leaf he liked to sleep on but I can't bring myself to bury him just yet.
My condolences to all of you that have lost a little friend recently. It is a terribly painful thing to go through and there is little reprieve, save for the fond memories you can carry forward.
Now I have to go squeeze our two cats (Maynard and Jackie) to cheer me up....

Ok well I wanna be 3rd in line
Lunch time check in! To try and cheer everyone up, according to the post office I should have vapemail waiting for me whrn I get home so look forward to the pictures! !!
andy and tiff, so sorry about your pups... sometimes its tougher to lose a pet than a human b/c we become so close and get attached, i got extremely depressed when my first staffie died, our other staffie had never been without her, he used to follow her wherever she went and idolized her, he became extremely depressed too, we had to force him to eat and he died not long after as well 
i still miss the hell out of both of them. we live in an apt now so have cats, both of whom were very fond of as well.

Sounds like we need to add an organizer to our list of "will hires".
Wow.
It is a bad week for pets.
My heart goes out to all of you affected....
