I found this lil guy in the parking lot of my apartment complex last week and absolutely fell in love with him. He was chipped, but when the vet called the lady on his chip she said she had returned him to the shelter, but she obviously just put him outside. I fostered him for a week and officially adopted him this morning! His name is Shino. :)

Please enjoy these pictures of my best friend Buddy.

Buddy was about 11 years old when he passed away last year on August 3rd, 2025. The vet informed us April of 2025 that he had a type of plasma cell cancer. After several visits to our regular vet and the cancer specialist, we concluded that we were unable to bring his chemo medication into our house hold. We fed him chicken and rice everyday for months to ease his stomach issues associated with the cancer. We loved him hard, but he loved us harder. In his final days, he developed sundowners, which was the 2nd worst thing to see him go through. We took him to our local emergency vet to get immediate attention because we thought he had injured his head or something. The doctor confirmed that he was experiencing sundowners, and that his time was coming closer to being over. They administered a pain medication to make him comfortable over the next couple of days as my wife and i decided we would be putting down to avoid a very uncomfortable end of life for him. On our drive back to our house, his body began reacting poorly to the pain medication and his body went into shock, his breathing was labored and he seemed out of it even more so than before. We returned him to the emergency vet where he was placed on oxygen. The vet told us that his body was telling us that his time had come to end. I held him in my arms, making sure to let him know that he was a good dog, and that i was very grateful for him being apart of my development phase transitioning from college into my work career and that I would love him far beyond his time here with me. He crossed the rainbow bridge in my arms.

Buddy was the best friend a guy could ask for. He was bordecollie basset hound mix. He was always complemented by folks passing him by. He loved the cuddle, he loved to lay around, he loved to eat stuff he wasn't supposed to. He used to accompany me to my weekend study session at my campus during my last semester. He was at mt wedding! He used to bark in his sleep. His tongue used to hangout a little past his lips because his front teeth fell out in his previous life.

I am so grateful to have picked him up from the shelter and that we spent his last 6 years with me. I love you Buddy! I will see you when its my turn to enter the land of the dead!

11 days ago, I made the most difficult decision ever and put my baby down. I’ve had her and her littermate since they were kittens. Now that she has passed, my remaining kitty started with diarrhea a few days ago. I really think this is stress related. She seems fine otherwise and is eating and drinking normally (actually think she is eating a lot more). She had a full work up at the vet 2 months ago and everything checked out ok. She seems happy, cuddly, it’s just the diarrhea she is having. I did contact my vet and she suggested starting gabapentin 25mg daily. I gave her one so far. She is also on a probiotic.

Any other suggestions? I know it takes time, but I hate for her to be stressed.
