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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
