    Not sure where else to post this. This is my boy Balto (the full husky), who unfortunately passed away during an emergency surgery on Monday to correct a diaphragm hernia. I’m going to miss him forever.

      I’m so sorry to hear that.

      But on a lighter note, I glad to see I’m not the only person with dogs that lay next to their beds instead of on them.

        Yes, still in shock over this happening. He was only 2. We had no idea he might not have made it out of that surgery.

          I had a similar experience a few years ago with gizmo, an extraordinary feline. I’m sure both are in a good place and forever alive in our hearts anyway.

            Thank you for the kind words. We are still in so much pain from his loss. We did not expect to lose him during this surgery, especially at just 2 years old. I have to tell myself that we did the right thing and gave him the best year of life that any dog could ever possibly ask for.

      Ah, the classic cool down posture to prevent core overheat.

      Aw man, Monday, you’re still in the first week of that. Here’s a hug. Won’t help with the pain, it gets better though.

        Thanks. He was a silly little dog and we loved all of his antics. Full of personality. Shame he was taken from us so soon.
