"Checking in" is a topic that we start on the first of each month. We suspect that we have a good number of members who read the messages regularly but who don't post very often. Maybe that's because their dogs are doing well, or they don't have a Cushing's dog anymore, or they haven't got any questions to ask, or maybe they don't feel very comfortable about posting answers to other members' questions. It's perfectly understandable and acceptable for folks to only post once in a while, but when we don't hear from people, many of us find ourselves wondering what those folks have been up to recently and how their dogs are doing.

It's always preferable to post updates about your Cushing's dog in your own thread/topic (especially if you want feedback/replies from other members) but you can also post a quick reply here if you just want to say hi and let everyone know how you are doing in general.

We'd love to hear from you! :)

I was cleaning my computer with a cloth and accidentally brought this forum up and clicked on a Facebook link at the same time.
Strangely the two are relevant - I don't believe in coincidences so decided to post the link:

It's called 'The Life of Death' it's on Vimeo.

I lost my Gabriel a while ago now to Cushings and a brain tumour but everyone on here helped me through that difficult time. Thanks.. This is a sad animation but in a way it kind of sums up how nature feels about death.
And maybe how death feels about us. Everything death touches dies so it avoids touching things but one day we will all reach out to lonely death.
And made me feel a little better about putting my dog to sleep as I sometimes still wonder if I did it too early.

Time does heal and these days I remember Gabriel when he was younger and mobile - that helps too :)
