I love you Snoopy, boy!

Hang in there, Mom ~ We're not done sending PT Prayers yet!

Some Ideas:

1) Run over to WalMart and find a "Pill Minder" box that stores enough pills for a whole week -
they make 'em in "once-a-day" (single pocket X 7) or "twice-a-day" (TWO pockets X 7).

You load an entre week's worth of meds on Sunday and then just look at the Pill Minder to determine
if the morning and/or evening pills have been taken. He'll never get a double-dose;
and it should be easy for a couple of the pill popper folks to look at the Pill Minder
to be sure he got a dose.

2) How about sending Amy or Kimmy, or someone else living close to a Canadian Border crossing point, over into Canada to pick up Snoop's Meds?
Is it "illegal" to cary those meds across the Border?
Don't do it if it's "illegal" --- but the older 2-Leggers go to Canada all the time to
bring back human prescriptions.

Also - remember to carry your Birth Cetrificate with you to get back into the USA!

Give the Snoopers a big {{{Hug}}}!

Even though I haven't posted in a while on this thread, I have been reading and keeping up with it. So, take the doc's advice and enjoy every moment you have with Snoopy.

I was going to suggest a pill box, but Phred beat me to that idea.

Hugs to all of you and pets to Snoopy.

I'm sorry to hear this news about Snoopy.

Hopefully he'll have many more good years ahead of him. I will continue to pray for him.

diana, first hugs for you and skritchies for snoopy. alex has had 2 seizures this weekend. my vets and i all are in agreement, it's a hospice type situation. i will keep alex happy and comfortable for as long as i can, but, his last set of clusters was only 2 weeks ago. i know how hard it is to think about making that call that awful day for the appointment with dr bev. you and snoopy have been in my prayers and thoughts. call if you need a shoulder, kleenex and coffee.

oh LES..
Diana - you are in my thoughts and prayers.
And please give my favorite Snoopy Boy a big hug and kiss from me...

Oh Diana, I'm getting a pit in my gut as I read your latest post. I know you are devastated at the bleak prognosis...

We're all praying Snoopy may have plenty of good days left, and he gets that chance to go to the dogpark many more times. I especially loved sitting on the bench & soaking up the sun while the pups ran around, it's such a peaceful place. Hugs to you & Carl, & the rest of your family. Gentle hugs to dear Snoopy.

Diana I have not followed this thread for a couple of days and am so sorry to read the turn it has taken. My eyes have filled with tears. You are truly between a rock and a hard place with how to treat your poor boy. Your vet sounds like he is a straight shooter and some of what he said had to be hard to hear. Many of us here have been in your shoes and have watched a beloved pet become sicker and sicker and so we can totally understand. (((Hugs))) for you and Snoopy and your entire family. I hope that your hubby gets his wish and Snoopy can have some fun in the spring at the dog park.

Diana, I think Pam said it so well. This is heartbreaking news.

I remember when my vet had a long talk with me about Buddy. How after
many surgeries, there was nothing that could be done short of "new hips"
that would ever make him a happy dog again. It was the hardest fact to
finally face & deal with. ( still deal with it today)

I will pray that you & Snoopy will have more happy days where he can
run around the dog park & enjoy the sunshine with his family.Please God.

Big (((Hugs))) for you & Snoopy.Liz.
