MY BABY BUSTER

On the 29th May my lovely dog Buster sadly passed away he was a special dog more like my brother than a pet to me and my family. I feel like a whole HUGE chunk of my life has gone to heaven with him.

Buster got put down at the local vets because he has cancer in his liver and it spread quite alot and they couldnt do anything for him, so it was either to let him suffer while the cancer was eating him away inside or put him down…

It's a sad day.

I knew the day would come, but it's never easy when it does. I had to say goodbye today to my boy Max. He has been going slowly downhill for the past 4 or 5 months, and today when I got home I found him in the backyard with his hind legs sprawled out from underneath him. He was so weak he couldn't get up on his own. So about 5:10 pm I took him to the local VCA Vet office and had him put to sleep. It was the second hardest thing I've ever had to do. To sign the…

My new lion fish, and a new found toad

The place I'm looking to get a job at has had a beautiful Black Volitan Lion Fish for over two months. I wanted it since I saw it about 2 weeks ago.

I added some pictures of it while it's still small because they grow very fast. Snuggles and Stripe have taken well to the new addition, and to Snuggles, it should be a… Continue

Pepper: A New Happy Dog

THE OLD PEPPER:

Pepper came to us at 8 weeks old when granny came for a visit. He bonded with me and we played a lot until I went to a math and science boarding high school. I had to be gone all week each week, so he turned to mum. He had all the love he could ever want, but mum always babied him and got him excited. He was obedient in the house too... sit, stay, come, stand, etc. What was missing? Socialization with other dogs, people and kids. Walks with Pepper were just terrible.… Continue

Pet Peeve: Over-breeding

Eight Belles was put down after racing with colts in the most recent Kentucky Derby. The news reported that race horses are being put down more and more due to the increasing number of injuries.
