central texas Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) My best friend Lucy. She was diagnosed with aggressive cancer last Friday and does not have long to live. She has been the best dog ever and I'm so glad I got the chance to have her in my life. I love how she is being modest in this pict and covering her lady parts. She is beautiful. I'm very sorry to hear of the cancer. Keep up your hope. My best buddy died of cancer this year correction, it's been almost 2 years. It feels much more recent. He was an Akita, not a perfect Akita but he was all mine. We noticed a growth in his mouth and the Vet suggested we get a cat scan at Texas A&M. The results came back as an aggressive cancer that was inoperable. It had destroyed most of the bone on the left side of his skull and removing the tumor would cause problems with eating. The food could be taken in to the lungs. They gave a list of remedies and we chose to put him on Chemo. When the Vet heard that he advised us to order the Chemo overnight and Kuma would only survive for 4 to 6 weeks. Two years later he finally lost the battle to the cancer. Here is his story. He had so many health problems during his short time but when he went blind I thought he had his share of problems and should be ok. I was wrong. http://www.akita-friends.com/kuma/ We have 10 dogs here now. Two are getting very old but are still getting around. http://s1088.photobucket.com/albums/i336/our_fur_kids/ Take care, Bob and the fur kids Edited September 27, 2011 by central texas --- Bob Smith Central Texas Cretaceous 31°02'54.27N - 97°55'56.08W .

central texas Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This is my dog Kara. She is very protective, VERY VERY well behaved and she loves my wife and daughter, she respects my son but won't allow herself to get attached to him because she believes she can only belong to one male. Me. Since adopting her I have completely abandoned any formal training or strict behavior and I have dumbed her up quite nicely. She is a great dog and I love her to death. She is beautiful. I can see in your words, and her picture, how much you love her. Bob --- Bob Smith Central Texas Cretaceous 31°02'54.27N - 97°55'56.08W .

Fossildude19 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Had to perform a little thread necromancy here! Sorry for that, but, ... ... We had a new family member join us today, all the way from Houston, Texas! After a 3 day trip he came home with us this afternoon. Riley stole our hearts with the pics from his ad on adoptapet.com. He is a Norfolk Terrier/Dachshund mix. He seems to be settling in nicely. He was a rescue, like our other dog, Mocha.

Generalnotes Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Having to let go of a pet is so difficult. I don’t think I will own any more pets. At my age, I worry about them outliving me. Here is a photo of my daughters pet “Texas Ironclad Beatle”. Its name is “Sparkle”. Common Name:"Ironclad" beetleScientific Name: Zopherus nodulosus haldemani HornOrder:Coleoptera Description: The striking adult beetle is 5/8 to 1 3/16 inch long and the body is adorned by a black and creamy white blotchy color pattern. Its exoskeleton (integument) is extremely hard. Other species of the genus Zopherus, which contains 19 species, are known from western Texas. This beetle family (Zopheridae) is closely related to Tenebrionidae. Life Cycle: Development progresses through egg, larvae, pupal and adult stages. Little is known about the biology of this species. Habitat and Food Source(s): Mouthparts are for chewing. Larval and pupal stage of this insect have been collected from the dead wood of pecan, which apparently serves as the developmental site for thisspecies. Adult beetles have been collected from trunks of oak trees in the College Station, Texas area. Adult beetles are thought to feed on lichens growing on trunks of these trees. This beetle can be found clinging onto the trunks of trees or outer walls of homes in wooded areas. They are extremely difficult to kill in a killing jar and several hours may be needed for success. Pest Status: Found in the central portion of Texas and south into Mexico; not known to damage live plants and is medically harmless. True ironclad beetle species occur in California. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donckey Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Carmine, JPC and Generalnotes, Thanks! I learned that a cat 19 years of age, can be compared with a human being almost 90 years! Generalnotes, I am the same age as you are but it won't stop me getting a new cat. Not right away though. I wonder: does that "sparkle" bite Peter Edited March 18, 2013 by donckey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
