First, regarding my previous post, …I thank everyone who sent Stretch best wishes…
My best friend Stretch went from bad to worse the day before yesterday. He can’t walk…can’t do his business…bad situation all the way around.
Anyway, Stretch underwent emergency neurosurgery on his spinal column yesterday in a town about 100 miles away.
That is where the best doctor in the state is. At least I’m told. I went through everything with him…and I decided to let him slice him about 4 -5 inches right down the middle of his back. He knew…if he fucked up…I would slice his dick off. I kid you not…he knew I was serious.
He made it through surgery fine, and is still there…will be for several days…I just heard this morning, he is doing fine. My woman just left him, and he is asking for Yabu. Smart Doggie!!! Yabu does not let anyone down…Most people would just put him down, but my DVM said she would not allow me to do that…as did my woman. I just don’t want him to suffer. My DVM has always owned a Dachshund…knows them well. Heck, she has pictures of Stretch on the wall of her practice. She told me that she would take him before I put him down. Medical technology has improved so much in the last years, that I felt comfortable with her recommendation and my decision. Time will tell.
Bottom line…I will do whatever I can. It was really really expensive…as with most things, it’s all about money.
That is fucked up!
Sad but true.
My dog Stretch will be home soon.
In the meantime…I’m gonna shoot every fucking squirrel and rabbit I see…eliminate the temptation, if you know what I mean.
Again folks…thanks…
