Thanks mate, it was very sudden, he just deteriorated over the course of 2 days and was gone before a vet was available. Septicemia and Renal Gout was the outcome of his post mortem, not much I could have done really I'm glad I had such a little character in my life, even if it was for a fraction of the time we could have spent together...

Dog Story:

Kukkuripa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Kukkuripa was a mahasiddha who lived in India. He became interested in tantric Buddhist practice, and chose the path of renunciation. During his travels, he found a starving dog in a bush. Moved by compassion, he fed the dog and took care of her. The two stayed together and eventually found a cave where Kukkuripa could meditate in peace. When he went out for food, the dog would stay and guard the cave.

One day, after 12 years passed, the stories say that the gods of the Thirty-three sensual heavens took note of Kukkuripa's accomplishments, and invited him to their heavens. He accepted, and while there he was given many pleasureable things, such as great feasts. Every time he would think of his loyal dog, left behind at the cave, he would begin to think that he should return to her, but every time they would convince him to stay.

Eventually, he looked down from the heavens and saw that his dog had become thin, sad, and hungry, and right there he decided that he would return to the cave. Upon his return, both master and dog were happy, and upon scratching her, the dog instantly vanished. In her place stood a dakini. The dakini told him that he had learned that there are greater things than temptation, and helped grant him realization. He attained realization, and returned to Kapilavastu, where he lived a long life for the benefit of others.

my beloved wolf/malamute hybrid Ophelia... she was 3 months old the day i brought her home, also the day i quit using heroin... there was no better companion... she would have been 8 yrs old now, but was shot by a hunter in my backyard 2 years ago... still loved, still missed...

Stoneyone, Leon, your dogs are making my heart melt! Gorgeous. They look very happy and well cared for as well

That Ophelia's was a beauty, Leon! Or, still is!

My baby

Snickers,
You fill my life with gladness, take away all my sadness...ease my troubles, that's what you do Baby Boy<3
Rod Stewart helped me with that.

This is my crested gecko, Professor Farnsworth

Leon,
I think that dog is the most beautiful dog I've ever seen.
It must have been SO hard to deal with her death, and I feel so bad for you about that.
Be strong Brother.

I just love this thread. Great companions, guys and gals!

Those are my fish. They're the most playful fish I've seen. When they aren't sleeping, that is.

Heres my hairy dragon

As well as a crazed local white man

This is Arjuna. After I had to have my first cat of 17 years(Bill - also black) put down, I vowed I would never love another kitty. So then this guy came along after my Mom died (he was hers) I tried to pawn him off on my sis, but in the process found another best buddy. I have a weird feeling he may be the reincarnation of my old cat.

^^

heres the puppy and kitten. they're best friends and do everything together..sleep. sit on the window sill. wrestle. fetch. chase. everything

Those are two cute pets universecannon!

How much acid did you need to make them love each other so much?

just like entheogenadvocates pup, ours (lola) is our child, our best friend and the source of some of our most hilarious and also most frustrating times. she's always there to slobber all over me when i've had a horrid day at work and climbs into bed and cuddles when it's cold out...
