Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Trish - I did manage a few hours, and em I can,t remember the last time I ate, but now your on the case I promise to eat today :D

Just something light, don't want you getting sick right now when you have enough on your plate... see I used the word plate :) that's what you're to use to put your food on!! :)

I am still lurking. I work from home and use my pad for here which is why I am online :)

Did you find that little something to eat x

Mel I,m having some toast and a sweet cup of Tea, not very inventive but it should settle my stomach. I,ve walked around the house today and theres stuff everywhere, every room has something in it belonging to him, toys everywhere under my bed, dog beds he had 4 yes I know he was little but I,m a bit OCD with dog beds, cupboard full of treats and food jez this little guy wanted for nothing, it wasn,t too bad looking at it all, as there was so many good memories attached to it all. As I look over to his crate I can actually see him lying sleeping in it and snoring his little head off. When the time is right then I will gather up his food and treats and take it to the rescue centre so that some other needed dog can have some food and treats, as had it not been for the rescue I would never have met little Woody dog

I am glad you are having a little something. My Nanny was Scottish she was born in the isle of mull and she loved her tea too

I am glad it's not too painful to see his things and that they do bring you some small comfort right now

I need to pay some cheques in so will be out for a few hours, maybe you should try and have a little nap for a bit?

I will be back online in as little time as I can as I hate shopping!

Speak soon, more big hugs

Mel

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm crying as I type this. Peace and love to you and yours. :(

Hey Tracy

Just checking in to see how you are doing?

Hope everything went ok for your mum

Hi Mel Yes got good report on Mum, looks like the operation has got all the cancer and she will be monitored every 3 months so that was good to hear today.

I,m hanging in there it seems to come in waves :confused:

Good news for your mum, that must be a relief.

It's such a horrible feeling just don't know what to do with yourself, that's how I felt, not sure what you should be doing.

Did you manage a nap this afternoon?

I know Mel, I,m just lost at the moment, it was always just me and him against the world but I,m sure he,s up there causing mayhem :p

For sure, cause like you said no one to stop him chasing those pesky rabbits.

I imagine Buddy hunting his lizards too. Tia would be supervising, she was a lazy mare so she probably let's out an oof to let them know the rabbits and lizards are about!

I am so sorry to hear about Woody. Thinking of you at this sad time.

Linda

I,ll never forget when Woody had been with me about 3 weeks and we were in garden in the dark, he always knew that in the winter time that he stopped at the door and got his collar/lead off and this night ran straight in the door, as I turned to him he looked at me and he had a dead rat in his mouth, I tell you Mel I ran screaming out the door, leaving Woody inside the house I had to get my neighbour to go in to him, by that time he had eaten half of it yuk I think it was at this point that I know how much of a handful he was going to be :D

Oh my gawd.... just got up to check in on you, I must say I am feeling a little seedy after the night at the winery and the image of Woody demolishing a rat is not helping hahaha!!!!! Yes that boy sounds like he was personality plus from day 1!!

What a little rotter, I would have needed help with a rat! After 3 weeks didn't even wait to show his naughtiness

Terriers just typically hate anything that moves quicker than them :D

Just got in. It's 07:42 you dirty stop out Trish! - I read that wrong you said got up lol

Oh dear sorry Trish :D Sounds like you had a good night at the winery:p Have you got Flynn from his grandparents yet ?

Mel - nothing fazed my little man, he thought he was 10 ft tall and 80lbs instead he was 10 inches tall and 20 lbs but it never stopped him trying :rolleyes:

Did he destroy all his toys too and chuck them around like a nutter?

Haha yep I did just get up!! My god I cannot remember the last time I stayed out all night! Flynny is still around at his Nan's so I will go pick him up later this morning when I have recovered a little. Having a nice cup of tea and just pondering bacon sammies... want to join me Tracy??

Mel yeah it did just that, I posted a video of him playing and chucking toys about just last week on his thread.

Trish - that sounds yummy but think the bacon sarnies maybe cold by the time I get there :p Oh and you are a dirty stop out lady :eek:

Terriers are such feisty little creatures aren't they... a couple of nights ago when we arrived at Mum and Dads after the vets I was getting him out the car and this huge yellow dog from across the road came barrelling out barking at us :eek::eek: I scooped Flynn up so fast and screamed at that dog to bugger off, Flynn gave him a bark for good measure from the safety of my arms :D My sister had arrived there at the same time and was quite impressed with how we scared that dog off, it slunk back home with its tail between its legs :mad:

I loved that video of him throwing his toys about, he had that look in his eyes haha. I am pleased we have these great memories of him from just last week Tracy, that boy lived life to the full at 100km/hr!

Yeah he did Trish, he embraced every day and woke up with the right what can I do today look in his face. I never found Woody,s pause button never mind the off switch lol I would not have had him any other way. Life is for living and boy he lived it to the max us humans should take a leave out of woodys book

I must have missed that video will have to go back and take a look x

Your very right Tracy, I think one very important lesson we learn from our dogs is not to sweat the small stuff and keep looking forward to what fun things they can find to do... and just enjoy life! Sometimes I might not be feeling to keen on taking a walk but I look at those doggy eyes looking at me expectantly, even when they might not be feeling too great themselves... and off we go :D they don't ask for much do they, but living life to the full is so important to them and even when he was sick you did that for him Tracy and he loved you for it! x

Oh Trish stop it you,ll have me blubbing again at this rate. But yes your right I know in my heart that I did my best for him. I could,ve brought him home last night but what for a few days of him lying in pain just for me, neither him nor me wanted that.

How,s my sarnies coming along, have you burned the bacon tut tut

OK no more sad things, I know when I am feeling a bit fragile it only takes someone to say kind things and I get to blubbering.... so onto the bacon, I like it a bit burned, crispy in fact! It is sizzling as I type!

Oh oh crispy will do nicely, I actually feel hungry and may make myself a bacon sarnie you,ve put me in the mood for it. See I,m listening to you about the eating;)

That's good, been ages since you had your toast :)

Good girl!! I am eating mine now... nom nom nom!

Yip that's a plan some bacon sarnies a long soak in the bath and early to bed, hopefully feel a bit more in the land of the living tomorrow, my cheeky mum said today I looked like death warmed up lol.

Thank you Mel and Trish for letting me warbling on about Woody, it really does help me. You go get that Flynny boy and give him a kiss from me. :)

Mel, I found the cheeky boys toy video... it deserves a repost so here he is!

Trust a Mum to say it how it is!! So pleased to read her good lab report, at least that is one worry we can put on the back burner for now!

I am just revising my Christmas list, have to get a few things still so will have a shower soon pop into town do that then go pick up the boy so I don't have to leave him again today. I just left a wee taste of bacon on his pillow for when he gets home :D he is crazy for bacon but he does not get it now but it is just a wee lick!

The rest of my day is going to be quiet I think, just what we need. Will keep logged in so if you are about and I don't reply I won't be far away... enjoy your bath, put some bubbles in it :)

I will be floating around too, enjoy your soak xx

Speak to you later Trish, hope it isn't manic out there like it was here today xxx

He was a fruit loop with that ball, I loved the look in his eye when you tried to get it, he was saying no chance!

I also saw his foot never left his toy even when he had knackered himself, such a character xxxx

I bet it will be, not looking forward to it. I might take Dad, I want to get him some shorts and need him to try them on. Mum said she is embarrassed to go out with him as his current ones are so tatty!! So shorts it is :D

Lol @ mum, might be best to go in numbers ;)

aw, he loved his toys! I'm so sorry for you loss. hugs, Judi

I don't know how you are here today, Tracy. My hat is off to your strength and courage, my dear, and I know Woody is so very proud of his amazing mom.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

Sending a toast out there for Woody. Such a heartbreaking turn of events...no doubt your boy had a wonderful life with you Tracy. YOu gave him the best! Have a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye thinking about the cute and spirited Woody.

Barbara

Tracy,
You are in my prayers.
