Things holding somewhat steady here still.....Champy had bathroom success twice today, but his back left leg has turned into a peg leg.......he uses it like a stick to walk....without movememnt in it today.......and then lifts it up in the air when he gets to where he is going usually a few steps here or there.....so I don't know what to make of this yet.....a gradual deterioration of all systems?...or just a bad leg today? I am calm and will face whatever I need to, though.
Thank you, DJ....Champy is all better again, and the colder temps make him ok. He has not collapsed in awhile now....He is a stubborn tenacious dog and will not lose the fight for life very easily ever.....he looks better now than he has in a long time. I know things could change quickly, though. I noticed your avatar before and wanted to say something to you then.....so i can now...cute pug! Ever notice how they can resemble. frogs, though..... I also think Sullivan here...the golden retriever, is one of the best dogs ever. He is so kind, gentle, quiet and patient.....I never knew such a dog like him before.....
Glad to hear, Moonglow. And I actually don't own a pug myself, but like I said, I still love em and all dogs really. How can you resist such a face!
Champy has not been doing very well the last 2 days...he is not completely under or sick...but his breathing can become strained and heavy...to lethargy...to constant bleeding from his anus area...... He has a vet appointment on Monday now. to see..... Gross blood all over a new huge blanket I just put down last night, too....
Testing to see if this short video downloads here another way. I keep loading it to photobucket and then can't find it anywhere, and then something pops up telling me to download something and I keep trying and that freezes on me....so i give up...been trying for almost an hour for naught....anyway....if this downloads...this is the howling Champy every day when he wants to be fed that I keep complainign about here......and he will do this until he is fed....almost a full hour sometimes when I want to run out of this house screaming....this may hurt your ears if it uploads and excuse the dust monkeys on the floor around here that I need to get to soon....hoping this works..... ok, found the video in photobucket...let's see if it posts...... http://vid112.photobucket.com/albums/n171/Heidipainting/001_zpsiephf0df.mp4
I am in a state of sadness and anger here...mostly sadness for Champy. he fought so hard...so hard for the last two years...vet even said he would not be alive if it were not for us. I had two hours sleep ....was awoken by Stan in the room with Champy where he was saying Champy was having a bad episode......Stan had carried him out earlier....and champy pee'd outside....Stan carried Champy in, where he almost passed out in the kitechen...Stan brought him back...carried him upstairs to the room where I was sleeping...where Champy went again. this time it was different...he was still breathing until the end....but it was labored breathing......his limbs went before the rest of him...he looked straight up at Stan and me...mostly me.... over him with those eyes, and died. We buried him earlier near where Oscar is.. This is becomming pet cemetary here? 2 cats buried out there now....Oscar and Mew and now Champy and the parakeet. All 4 animals died within 1 year. I am punch drunk......I am numb..I am sad...i am angry...... Champy was a magnificent pug...a fighter, a real champion.....none of the pugs here have quite the strength and determination he had.....the puppies...who will be 5 July 8th and are Moxy's and Champy's kids...mostly look like Moxy. Gali comes the closest to looking and behaving like Champy in some ways.....Moxy is very sad today,. She was in the room with me and Spanky this morning, too, and witnessed it all. The 3 siblings gather around me all day trying to cheer me up.....and my heart just feels like it is gone, so for that reason, I am angry. Life can really suck. Poor Champy....not the same house here anymore....my friend......with you gone.... Just recovered from Oscar barely and got thrown down again....punch drunk...yep, that is right.....my mom before....etc, etc, etc.....enough already!
Dearest Champy, Buried back into nature's warm safe womb I hope you fly to join the living again soon Breathe easy again, Champy............. May 2002-July1, 2015 My sweetest pug, Champy, when he was a baby.... Champy age two or so and his famous wrinkles. he loved to bury his face in blankets.....classic Champy photo..... I always loved you, Champy, and will miss you for the rest of my life...
