I took a day off yesterday and met my Mother halfway between her house and mine to finally get my dog back....so all is well im my world now that I have my baby girl again.

He seems like he is doing fine now. I think the vet misdiagnosed him. I think it was just an acute kidney problem, rather than a chronic one. I'm going to take him back to the vet in a couple of days and they will re-do the tests.

His appetite is great. I'm pretty sure he is fine now, but I won't know for sure until later in the week.

I'm not going to get a dog again until I get married. It's too big of a responsibility having a dog when you live alone.

Hoping Duke is ok. I had a dog named Duke when I was a kid.

I wish I was a cat person... they drive me bonkers. I love having a dog because they crave your attention. Most cats don't give a shiat about you. LOL

LOL re: Cannon Shell's remark.

Rupert-

You should consider getting a cat. I grew up with dogs and believed the stereotypes re: cats. True, they don't like strangers much but if they know you or you are their master, they are a lot more similar to dogs than you think. And they are much easier to take care of. Obviously you liked having a pet. You should consider getting a cat.

I've always loved cats. When I was growing up we had a lot of cats because my mom would take in strays.

I think my next pet will be a cat. When you live alone and you live in a building, it's really difficult to have a dog. You have to walk him 3x a day. You need to get someone to house-sit when you leave town. Owning a dog is a huge responsibility, even more so when you live alone and you don't have a yard.

So I think my next pet will be a cat. But I am going to wait for at least a year or two. After having that huge responsibility for the last 13 years, I'm going to take a break and live resposibility-free for a while.

Richi, I'm so sorry about Duke.

I'm going to take him to VCA this time. I have more faith in their lab than my current vet. VCA has all the best equipment and technology.
