My dog Cookie turned 14yrs old on Feb 14.
He had a rough night and so did I from about 5 pm yesterday until about 7 am this morning.
100 million percent turnaround able to walk with very little help this morning.
Peeing like a horse
Eating and drinking like a horse.
Finally pooping like a horse about 15 mins ago.
He has been resting thruout the day.
So have I.


Everyday is a good day with your dog.
Everyone no matter how many dogs they have had in their life.

Blackjack and Rico my other 2 dogs and Brady the grand dog have not gotten alot of attention today.
They know Cookie and myself have had a rough time since yesterday evening till this morning.



Here is what I just read surfing.
So fugging glad it didnt come to this early today!!!

Stuff brought some tears back to my eyes just a few moments ago
Ancient Greek dog stuff as follows:


After their loyal friend and companion departed from this world, ancient Greeks were not afraid to express their grief for their loss, openly crying and mourning.

Greeks would bury their pets along the roadside in marked graves, and the entire ceremony for this was undertaken in a very solemn manner.

“This is the tomb of the dog, Stephanos, who perished, Whom Rhodope shed tears for and buried like a human. I am the dog Stephanos, and Rhodope set up a tomb for me” read one gravestone.

“Helena, foster child, soul without comparison and deserving of praise.” The particular epitaph shows that some ancient Greeks, just like today, saw their dogs as their foster children.

In the next case, a hunter mourned the female hound who had helped him hunt in the three Greek mountains mentioned on the tombstone: “Surely, even as you lie dead in this tomb, I deem the wild beasts yet fear your white bones, huntress Lycas; and your valor great Pelion knows, and splendid Ossa and the lonely peaks of Cithaeron.”

Another tombstone of a beloved family dog from Ancient Greece reads “You who pass on this path, if you happen to see this monument, laugh not, I pray, though it is a dog’s grave. Tears fell for me, and the dust was heaped above me by a master’s hand.”





Dogs...........

Anyone who doesn't like dogs and see them as companions in life is fugged in the head big time if ya ask me.
