Aww sorry Dani..if you werent so far away Id bring ya some wine and give ya a hug. Although I do need a reason to go to NC. Hope everything is alright.
You guys are the best. Thank you for all this love in just a few minutes. I just got off the phone with his vet again, he thinks in 6-12 months, Copper will lose all mobility in his hind legs and need a cart. But, we are going to start water tred mill therapy 2x's a week. His vet said that he has seen amazing results in dogs like Copper (older, BIG dogs) with physical therapy.
So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll help him.
Thanks again guys, if I had more karma to give, you'd all have some.
And ncbst3, any reason is a good reason to come to NC. Wait til we are moved into our new house and then I'll have a room for you to crash in.
I've not been around a lot lately because I've been with my pup at the Vet (2 hours away) for the past week. I had to take him to a neurologist. He had an MRI and a LP. It turns out he has DM and now I'm a blubbering mess. I've been sobbing all day, and it makes him upset to see his mom sad.
I really need a hug and some wine... I have no one to hug at the moment, and I have no cheap wine in the house that I won't feel bad just guzzling.
I just want my pup to be ok. He means more to me than most "friends" I have and has been with me longer than most of them as well. I would love it if every 'rooster who has a furry buddy went and gave them a big scratch and let them know how much they mean to them.
Thanks for listening.
That made me want to cry!!! I'm glad that the therapy could improve the condition. Poor puppy.... and poor Daniroo having to worry about her baby! I send an ehug!!!

Its a little comforting the vet says PT can help him. Hopefully he's part of the "amazing results"
I used to have friends in Wilmington so I was in NC all the time, but they moved so I have noone to visit there anymore. Havent been there for about a year. A trip is about due.

Hehe, no problem. I just got my lip pierced earlier this week and I'm a freak when it comes to cleaning things and whatnot. I keep feeling like if I don't clean it constantly it's gonna get infected and pull the infection into my mouth and down my throat and into my stomach.... I think about things too much >.< Needless to say my mouth has been numb 80% of the week.

I was gonna ask what the bactine was for lol...be careful you dont clean it too much. I did that with my belly button and its equally as bad as not cleaning it enough. Im usually overobsessive about my piercings getting infected so i understand

aww. i also give you the e-hug, which sucks. it is not nearly as hard as my real one. and ill make sure to tell my puppy yours is not having so much fun.
as for the wine, guzzle the expensive poop like its water. what is money?
my random thought .... BONNA - FUKCING - ROO
edit: afterthought, what is DP? i have a german shepard and i had one before this one that died around its second birthday, really the most heartbreaking moment of my life and i am getting choked up typing this. if there was ever a time "only the good die young" fits, its this. the best dog ever. It was the heart that got her (it will be the bane of me too, guaranteed) but she also had a problem with her hind legs that made it hard for her to get up even at such a young age.

Degenerative Myelopathy - it's likely that's what your pup suffered from. It mainly affects Shepards (it's what leads to hip dysplaysia in so many of them), but in random occurences it affects other large breeds (Copper is an American Fox Hound). It is Multiple sclerosis in dogs. There is no cure and they basically go paralyzed from the back to the front.
I'm sorry to hear about your pup as well. It's tough to lose a dog at any age, but so young is especially tough... you just don't see it coming.
Did you name him after The Fox and the Hound? That's what I first thought when I saw his name. That was one of my fav Disney films as a kid. I'm sorry for your troubles. +1

Yep, that's where he gets his name. There is a scene in the movie, where Copper says "My name's Copper, I'm a hound dog... Barooooo!" And every time I look at my dog, I see that same face. The day I brought him home from the ASPCA, I knew he had to be named Copper. When I get another dog, he'll be named Todd.
I gave a homeless man (one who I've seen for years roaming around near where I work, urinating in the bushes at Walgreen's, sleeping on benches, etc.) my umbrella today. I pulled up to a stop sign, and he was standing on the curb in the pouring rain, so I rolled down my window and asked if he wanted it. He said, "Yes, mam! Thank you, mam." At first I was happy I had finally given him something after all these years, but ultimately it left me feeling empty inside. I have felt sad the rest of the day...and guilty for what I have and how good my life is. I wish I had given him more than an umbrella.

After your sports idols. Our sugar gliders just had a baby, so I got to name it, Lebron. My brother named the other male we have, Kobe. We decided the next one would be D-Wade to keep with the theme.

I have done stuff like this and felt the same way. You always think that you will feel good for having done something - anything - to help make their life a little easier - and then walk away wishing you had done more.

i wouldnt feel bad for yourself... i mean, you are a combination of your circumstances and your own initiative. sure, your family background can help to get you started, but after a certain point, you're on your own to make yourself who you are.
you've said yourself this is someone you have seen for years - i can only imagine how incredibly difficult it is to come out of homelessness, and from what ive read, most of them have some kind of mental disorder and/or substance abuse issues - they ain't helping things!

Look at it this way: You've done more for this guy than 98% of the people that have passed him. I rarely give to the homeless but I always respond to them and look them in the eye. I've had several tell me how much they appreciate that. A little bit of kindness goes a long way.

at least the guy stayed dry that day
I think he is his mentally ill; I often see him talking to himself. There are several homeless people in the area, but the others are constantly giving you the "I need $2.34 to catch the bus," or "I need $10.00 to sleep in the shelter tonight." Once came in one day saying Jesus gave him this 12 pack of Pepsi and wanted him to sell it. ...but this particular man doesn't ask for anything-ever, in the 5 1/2 years I've worked there, and I think that is a big reason I've always wanted to do something for him. He just walks around all day (often in a heavy jacket when it is 95 degrees outside). I smile and wave at him, and he smiles and waves back.

I once gave a bum $5 at a stoplight cause it was just sitting there in my cup holder and he walked by and he was just staring at it like it'd be the greatest thing in the world. I figured what the hell, I had seen him at this same stoplight for a while now always asking for money for various reasons and figured he needed it more than I did, and handed it out and he seemed ever so grateful. Then a few days later me and some friends were exploring nearby woods and stumbled across this rather large man-made structure with camo tarps and stakes and the whole shebang, with a really shiny expensive bike sitting out front and sure enough... that bum was chillin there eating a turkey sammich listening to a portable radio.
I think he was just getting around dealing with The Man as much as possible and lived his life as a beggar. I never gave him any more money or anything again, because even though this guy was technically "homeless" he seemed to be livin it up relatively well compared to others in his situation...
