My old buddy Sneezer the Dog is going to make it this time!
Just got off the phone with the vet. They filled him up with fluids, and he ate some late Saturday, and he ate well yesterday. They'll hand-feed him today, and we can bring him home this afternoon.

Making that call to the vet this morning was one of the hardest calls I've ever made. We can't wait to get the ol' boy home this afternoon.

Relief is not a strong enough word.



Welcome home, old friend.

2. You have no idea.
I don't have any friends I've had as long as him. I didn't get much sleep this weekend.

3. Fantastic news!
Many pats and cuddles to Sneezer from two greyhounds, 2 whippets and a Siberian Husky.

4. That's great news...
I'm so sorry your buddy was sick. He looks absolutely exhausted in the picture though. Poor guy!

6. That pic is about a year old. Caught him asleep.
He looked so relaxed, I thought it might make good "wallpaper."

I expect him to take a similar pose this evening.

7. I'm glad your friend is coming home!
I would have been a wreck all weekend too if one of my guys was ill and didn't know if he would live or die. I am so happy you got good news.

9. We know their life spans are shorter than ours.
We know we will lose them, and yet, it hurts like a bonfire every single time. Glad your boy is going to be with you awhile longer.

11. Happy for you and your doggie.
One of my dogs died on Thursday, so I know how heartbreaking it can be to lose a dog.

14. for Sneezer
Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Amen.



Dear God, protect and bless all beings that breathe, keep all evil from them, and let them sleep in peace. Amen.
--Albert Schweitzer, "Memoirs of Childhood and Youth"


God of the universe, be present with this your creature. Bless Sneezer and Tyler Durden who cares for him, now and always. Amen.


Healing and transforming God, your love knows no boundaries, and in your sight every life is precious; look with compassion on Sneezer, and make us your agents of healing in a broken world. Amen.
