I can truly feel empathy for you. My little mutt (only about 15 lbs) will be 15 in another month and though she’s had a good long and fairly healthy life, it still kills me seeing her slowly deteriorate. The cataracts have begun to form. The hearing is way down. The lumps are getting bigger (though the vet still says they’re benign). She groans a bit from her bad knees walking up the back steps. I’ve had this little dog since college. She’s pretty much been the only really stable part of my life for her entire life … moving from place to place while I went through different jobs and different friends and different relationships. She was … and is … always there.

Hi,

This entry made me teary-eyed, as I went through something similar not too long ago, on top of it simply being heart-breaking. Louie loves you too much, and I know the feeling’s mutual. That’s all that matters. I like dogs more than most humans, but it’s not a biased opinion.

Anyway, I’ve always wanted to comment. I live in Richmond, VA, and you’re the only blogger I read regularly that I’ve seen in real-life (besides Bob Mould). I flew up to NYC to see the same Antony and the Johnsons show you saw at Town Hall in 2005 (and I guess to visit some friends too). I locked eyes with you too many times on the sidewalk outside after the show, and I felt creepy, but it was unintentional. It was weird, because not only are you strikingly handsome, but you were almost famous! Had I been a bit older, I would’ve said hello. Alas.

Take care and give your pup loads of kisses from a stranger. Love to all parties involved.

Mike–So sorry to hear this, especially because it sounds like Louie is suffering. You and your ex — amd especially Louie — are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about your Louie’s condition. My best to you and yours during this time.

I don’t tell many people this but I have a secret super power. If I tell you it wouldn’t be so secret, super or powerful. So, for the collective good I shall remain silent.

Ach. We just recently lost our golden retriever, the kindest, nearly artistic dog, at the age of almost two. After he was one, he developed epilepsy, and eventually went into a seizure that just wouldn’t end. Helplessness and love, it’s a strange combination. As is acceptance, memory and love. I have no doubt he’ll have a very happy last bit of time with y’all. He’s a lucky dog.

Our dog is begining to show signs of age, at only 9+ years old. He is an Austrailian Blue heeler. His arthritis is getting worse and his eyesight is going rapidly. We just had to put his mother down just over a year ago. I can sympathize with your pain, bud. I really can.
