RPDB does seem to be much less active than it was. If you take out posts by TPW, it seems that most of the regulars have gone away since midsummer. Apparently Facebook and Twitter and perhaps some moderated forums like www.victoriastilwell.com, www.dogsey.com, and http://community.sessionswithcesar.com/forums/ have taken over. Usenet is seldom used. Paul and Muttley www.MuttleyDog.com

Thank you all for your condolences. I don't really understand why, but
knowing others understand the pain of such a loss helps to withstand that loss. Abi was suffering renal failure and being subjected to daily sub-q fluids, severe diet restrictions, horrible bouts of vomiting, all sorts of vile things, even though her bun was not really high, it was in the "low high" range. However, she continued to suffer anorexia, weight loss, and then terrible increasing bouts of staggering. I kept telling the vet about her staggering, but he sort of passed it off as a symptom of her renal disease. Finally, on the Sunday night after Christmas, she had another horribly restless night, with the aforementioned digestive problems, and could no longer control her hind legs enough to lay down or stand back up.........she would just stand. I got her to the vet, he took one look and said "that's neurological, she has some problem in her cerebellum, probably a tumor." The only thing to do was obvious. Abi had seen me through the darkest times of my life and I had to see her through the end of hers. Abi was bitten by a rattlesnake, in the face, in 2000. She spent 5 days at Colo. State Univ. vet school. The damage to her kidneys and the cause of her brain disease could well be attributed to that incident. She was truly the best dog in the world. Her pain and confusion are over. Thanks for "listening". n PS..............I just realized I made a terrible typo..............she was born in 1995, not 1985.........14 years, 1 month, 3 days. Wow, I only wish she had lived that long. "FurPaw" wrote in message ... nan2u wrote: Rest in peace my heart. Abigail 11/25/1985-12/28/2009 What a fantastically long life she had. My condolences.
