Learned today that my Battle Buddy, Solomon, has heart arrhythmia. Which is pretty much a death sentence for an 11yo English Mastiff.
I'm not handling this well, /k/. I know this isn't my blog, but you guys are the tits, so I thought I should tell someone. Incoming image dump while a grown man weeps like a child.
I feel for you man. Just try to enjoy what time you have left.
Waiting on bloodwork to come back tomorrow to see what we need to do. But right now, it looks like meds to make him comfortable or put him down.
Sorry about your buddy, komrade. Savor the time you have left with him.
Here's mine. Not sure what breed of dog she is.
I feel for you man, my first dog lived to be 14 until we had to have him put down due to tumors/constant pain from arthritis. I punched a hole in the wall and wept like a bitch.
He was happy, full of energy (as full as an 11yo dog can be anyway) eating well, perfect.
Then lost 30lbs in 8 weeks.
> this is him at 230lbs.

I'm sorry, /k/. I know this isn't weapons related, but I had to get it off my chest or else I would feel even worse the rest of the night.

Leonburger owner here, with Large breed dogs they start to really seriously run into health issues after 7-8 years, and you're lucky that you got 11 good years out of him.
Its best to enjoy it and give him the best quality of life in the end, but you need to know when to end it. Been through 2 Great danes and I'm only a freshman in College.
>>29840046
battle buddies are /k/ as fuck tripfag.
>>29840101
This is my 3rd Mastiff. My 1st one had a heart attack on my front porch, I put her sister down because I couldn't leave her alone with kids and she was getting very hostile to everyone, and now this one. I just thought I maybe had another year, you know?
>>29840124
After not seeing one for months except in a GQ thread a while back talking about BB armor, I thought Mods may have moved them to /out/ and i missed it.
>>29840142
Yeah just I always see dudes who are first time dog owners who get super headstrong about never putting their dog down even when its quality of life it's absolutely not acceptable.
Don't be that goy
>>29840178
Please make dealwithitmeme.gif outta that.

Sorry to hear about that OP. Always rough to have something happen to a beloved battle buddy.
This is my battle buddy. He's learned that if I put my gun in the holster then it means I'm going somewhere, and he waits by the door for me so he can go with.
>>29840242
kek. you sure did.
My battle buddy died sometime last night
I woke up this morning and he was dead at the foot of my bed
Now I wish that I was dead
>>29840279
Fuck man
>>29839935
hello large dog bro.
sorry to hear that.
>>29840279
Damn that's rough.
I remember the last battle buddy I lost I bawled like a baby. I'm starting to worry about this guy. He looks young in the pic, but he's getting old and it really shows a lot of days. Had him for 10+ years.
>>29840172
No, my family raised me around a lot of animals and I learned when it's ok to let them go naturally and when you need to speed it up with a shot.
>>29840279
That's kinda how my first mastiff was. Came home from high school, said hi to her sister, bent down and petted her then realized she was dead when I opened the door and she didn't follow me in. Called my mom freaking out.
>>29840294
I love Danes, but I'm leaning towards a Doberman this time. Never had one, heard good things about their temperament, and love the look of them. Any anons have any tips, or a breeder recommendation close ish to South East Georgia?
>>29839935
The wet doggo returns
>>29839935
If my mastiff bit it id fucking die inside.
Hang in there OP
Of course Vets being Vets, he said that the meds could help squeeze out a couple extra months, maybe let him live to see 12, but that would be the extreme.
>>29840489
my 2 were the hardest ive ever been hit. I've had a ton of pets (and farm animals) but I've never been hit that hard. I already know I'm gonna be torn up for a while on this one.
>>29840489
That's a gorgeous dog, btw. How old and what type of Mastiff?
>>29840435
Stay dry pupper
Had my boxer of 13 years die. Just randomly woke up and he was dead on the ground near my bed. Didn't cry, was pissed, kinda just accepted he's dead, called my mom who lost her shit, buried him and went to class. Now I read your guys responses and it makes me worried. I loved my dog but he was old and literally lived all over the world so he had a full life. Shit /k/
>>29839935
This is my last mastiff. My faggot neighbor shot him just because he was on his property..
He was superbly well socialized and very very very calm/gentle. He was never aggressive, never barked, just loved chillin.
Mastiffs are seriously the best dogs you can ever own. This bro was the coolest motherfucker on the planet, I loved him literally more than most of my family.
Still trying to figure out a way to burn my neighbors house down without getting caught
>>29840550
If I get a terminal disease I'll do it for you. With him in it.
>>29840500
I was pretty wrecked when my last dog died, I know it will be worse when Puppy starts to get old.
Shes shes almost 2.
>>29840550

>>29839935
That sucks, man.
It never gets easier to lose a battle buddy.

>>29840382
>craigslist

>>29840599
Wasn't at night
>>29840509
Shes a English mastiff
>>29840562
She looks very sweet
>>29840630
no im saying your pupper looks creepy as fuck in that picture. thats the model they used for the first wave of zombies in a video game.
>>29839935
Luck it lived to 11.
How big is his knot
>>29840656
>Intimidated by a dog sitting down with a stick in his mouth
No wonder you like weapons. Everything must scare the fuck out of you
>>29840279
Burry him and move on. Or get a pet tortise or parrot. They will out live you
>>29840562
Ever fuck her? 2 is old enough to fuck.
>>29840688
good lord you're dim.
>>29840279
Damn dude, sorry to hear that
>>29840550
>>29840630
Had a neighbor shoot my boxer in front of me. Called her across the property line and shot her with a 12 guage. Contacted police and they said since she was on his line and off a lead he shot her legally since he felt threatened. Never wanted to kill someone so much in my life.
>>29840562
>>29840634
She's gorgeous. Reminds me of my 1st Mastiff. Don't have a pic on the comp, but same color, hit about 160lbs.
>>29840674
>>29840712
not super suprized you showed up, but come on. have a little decency, dude. got asked the same thing last time i posted a pic of him, and none of us think it's funny to hear you talk shit about our dogs. Fuck off.
Sorry m8 losing them is never easy. Idk what I'd do if my doggers died.
>>29839935
Sorry to hear that bro.
He looks like a great doge
>>29840768
So when people have arrhythmia's it's usually pretty straightforward, they take some specific meds to counter the issue and have some life-style changes. But I haven't the foggiest idea about when dogs are concerned.
Is there a chance your battle bro could just take it easy for a while, get fat around the house and be a pleasant foot warmer?
>>29840537
I had a boxer and just before he was a year old he got bloat and was put down.
>>29840838
at 6yo, hell yes. at 11, not really. If his heart ever fell back out of rhythm he could easily die of shock, and there's no way for him to vocalize that he isn't feeling well, especially while im at work. so if the vet think meds will work and make him comfortable for his ride out, hell yes, hes on meds. if the vet says the meds will do more harm than good, i say my goodbyes, cry like a bitch, update /k/ and bury my dog.
My pup Stuka keeping things mildly /k/ related. She actually impressed me a couple weeks ago.
>Out at a family member's house in the boonies
>Outside visiting with a few old friends late that night
>Hear a few coyotes in the field across the street.
>Grab pistol to investigate, yotes couldn't have been more than 100 yds away.
>Dog is glued between my legs the entire time, intensely focused at the darkness ahead
>Barely even flinches when I fire a shot to scare the yotes off.
She is nearly 5 months old and has zero training beyond your basic "sit" and "come" stuff, apparently that shit just comes naturally.
When we lived in IN, Solomon was the biggest dog in a while. Lived on a farm, surrounded by woods and fields. ever hear anything weird or barking in the middle of the night, he would perk up, stand at attention at the door then once out would let out 1-3 (depending on the situation) chest tightening barks. Even inside with him outside, to see his hackles raised and hear that boom of a bark then the entire woods go silent. . . That's the dog I want with me when someone comes into my house. I've watched this hunk of muscle bound off the porch and make it to the corn line over 30 yards away in a blink and 3 lunges. I've always been impressed by this big teddy bear.
>>29840881
So you're saying there's a chance!
Sorry man, I work in the medical field so I try to aim friends and family at the thin silver linings.
>>29840550
Egg their house, poison their lawn, etc. They can't prove you did it if you're not caught.
>>29840768
>Called her across the property line and shot her with a 12 gauge.
Even if the police won't act, that is serious grounds for a lawsuit that you have a good chance of winning. 'Course if you lived some place liberal, his ass would be in jail already. If only California had gun laws as good as their animal rights laws, it would be paradise.
>>29841187
Rock salt fucking everywhere. Or just a shit load of grass and weed killer.
>>29840550
shoot faggot neighbor as revenge
>>29840877
>before he was a year old
Christ. That's what I meant. I had mine for 13, excellent run imo, but not even a year old, that's awful.
>>29841246
this was 20 years ago. if i had it my way i would have blown all his windows out with a shotgun, drug him across my property line then shot him.
Instead, i followed the rules and got a "his property, he can do what he wants" out of it.
>>29839935
I lost my dog last month.she was 17. It will hurt like hell for a few days but it gets better
>>29840932
German Shepards were made to be loyal. I miss my old girl...
>>29840435
And still hard done by and suffering mightily.
Little Dog says "Enough! Free my people from the tyranny of the tub!"
My best fucking friend is my pupper
>He sleeps with me
>watches TV with me
>Go's on walks with me, I dont even need to put a leash on him, he stays with me
>eats Breakfast and dinner with me (I dont agree with pet food, so I give him his own steak, chicken, porkchops, Etc. what ever Im eating that night)
>loves when I rub his belly
>goes hunting with me
I love my pupper of 8 years
Anybody do MWDs here? I'm thinking about puring that in the future once I qualiy with time served. I've had dogs around all my life, raised them, trained them, can do all that in civie life.
What can you tell me of the training of it both myself and the canine?
>>29839935
My battle buddy, I'll know the feels when it's his turn to leave the Earth, hugs my bro
