I just took a look at your before pic and your profile pic, cute dog too. We had 2 doxies for about 8 years, 1/2 siblings, same sire different dame. We had to put them BOTH down this past summer, it was heart breaking. I always loved the color of yours, ours were chocolate dapple.

Rootman, both at the same time? How heartbreaking. What happened? chocolate dapples are not only gorgeous, but they have such sweet personalities. Most people don't realize that the personalities of doxies vary depending on their coats.

Thanks again for the compliments.

They were 1/2 siblings, same sire different dame. She had some sort of brain issue, she went blind and was going deaf and she was inconsolable, she would cry all day till I got home, be OK for a few hours next to me then start in crying. The doc said it didn't seem like pain just psychological issues with her world collapsing in around her as her senses went, she might of also been having some sort of seizures as well, what we used to call petite mall in humans, she would go silent and stay still for a few minutes at a time then go back to crying.

He had tumors, started in his chest, a BIG one appeared in his rump and was invading his colon, the doc said that he more than likely had more inside him as well. He was starting to have pain.

With BOTH of them being raised together they were inseparable, we were looking at multiple thousands of dollars just to find out what was wrong with each of them and with both the prognosis was not good so we made the heart breaking decision to put them to sleep. I am tearing up just typing this out.

Both were sweet, he was a goofy affectionate friendly doggie that loved everyone. She had more of the typical doxie temperament, not good with children and a bit nervous all the time. We made quite a foursome, Duke, Duchess and my wife and I. I miss them terribly and am not sure if I can handle the possibility of having to say goodbye to another dog, this is the fourth pup we've lost, it's just so heart breaking.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
