Sharring the story of Husko the Hero...

It also could be that Husko waited for you to be by his side when he passed. Many humans do that.

Just saw this video of a rescue-lady about a stray she knew that started this little time ago (doesn't say days/weeks)...

Husko was like this few days before he went away (collapsing & bending ,but on his right side not left)...

Has anyone seen this before or recognize what it is ???

Turns out poor Liza had a tumor in her neck...nothing could be done...

It is a sad thing, but I have heard some people on here post that their family members could not understand or approve of their treatment of their dog. To some family it is just a dog. I will never be able to understand how these types of people think, or why they have such little regard for companion animals. It could be that to your father it was no big deal. I understand how you feel. Every time my Tipper is away from me like in the vets or hospital for testing etc. I say to them if anything at all goes wrong you come and get me immediately as I must be with my dog in an emergency. I make sure everyone that handles her understands this. I seldom even leave her at home now to go to the store or anything, I always get someone to sit with her. I am too afraid of something happening to her wit me not there. I have a stuffed animal dog here that I even make anyone watching her know how to perform CPR and practice on the stuffed animal. This dog means everything in the world to me and I am very cautious with her. It is a shame your dad did not seem to understand how important Husko was to you. I feel bad for you as this is like losing a child.

I thought father liked Husko...(i know he doesnt like Lemmy)...he used to call him ''baby'' some times and walk him...

but i don't think he really cared...last months of Huskos' life he complained too many times about me spending too much money on Huskos' care...he complained I should have euthanized him because people in the streets told him my efforts are pointless...he didn't pay attention to Husko when walking him so Husko hurt his leg (which played a huge part in this overall psychology and mine)...all he cares about is eating and sleeping (after spending a fortune travelling the world while leaving 2 children and a wife behind with money barely enough to eat...) ,lazy prick...
I remember i told him when Husko hurt his leg that if he dies because of this i'd hurt him...haven't brought myself to do that...but I have told him that Husko was my family but not him...

Iraklis:
I guess you are right. A man that doesn't care about his wife and two children probably is not concerned about a dog. You loved Husko and that's all that matters. Some people will never get it, they have no love for animals and criticize us for doing so. You father was probably resentful of you spending money on a dog. I can certainly understand your ill feelings towards him with the way her left his family to fend for themselves. I hope that Lemmy always remains healthy as you have been through enough. Please take care of yourself and hug Lemmy for me and Tipper.

Will do...
Actually ,today i received Lemmys' blood-tests...
All good!
I just think his CRK is a tad high 0.96mg/dL (0.32-1.43).

We went to Huskos' place again ,as almost every day since...the more I think about it all, the more i feel i failed him in his worst hour of need...
I was lucky enough to live beside him though, even for a short amount of time...and will be forever grateful for that...

P.S. Lemmy is snoring from exhaustion...

Your father might indeed have loved Husko, but as you better than anyone knows, what Husko was going through could try anyones patience and often they think the kinder thing is to put them to sleep. Maybe it is because it hurts to see them in such a sad state of affairs.
I'm just guessing but I do know that my parents had a hard time seeing our Tasha when she was at her worse and I know they loved her dearly. They thought it would have been kinder to let her go.

Glad Lemmy is doing okay

I understand what you are saying ,but i am sure that is not the case with him...his day went on as if nothing happened when he left this world...

I don't have regrets of not putting Husko to sleep (it came close to that ,but that was a dietary fookup of me that fortunately i spotted) because up to/and January he had many daily/nightly walks and ate food and showed (few) signs of joy...
February to March is a different story...should have accepted help from a lady who offered to loan me money, should have asked for x-rays/bloodtest during our 2nd February vet visit and owe the money, should have found a way to vent my anger instead of my voice loosing its calm and affection (not to mention my crimes of slapping and grabbing the throat of my baby)......i lost my calm,vigilance,clear thinking (what was left of that)...

I know nobody will say this ,but i am sure everyone realizes how wrong things were done by me during the last 5-6 weeks...and there are no excuses at all for that...
I decided to go the route of helping Husko to the end...and ''try to help'' is a far cry from ''do help''...

Iraklis:
Of course no one is going to say you did wrong, because we don't think you did. You did what you thought in your heart was right. You had very little help from the vets, and everything they did was wrong. I think if anyone let Husko down it was the vets that you trusted to save his life and they bungled it. You have learned a lot from this and it will certainly benefit Lemmy. You are actively helping others on the forum, so that honors your beloved Husko. You are a good person, and you did everything you could humanly do. I am sorry for your dad not letting you know Husko was in distress, that is hard to have to deal with. Have a good day with precious Lemmy as he needs you now, and you need him.

Patti said it perfectly. Hugs.

Are you old enough to move away from your father? This doesn't sound like a good environment for anyone.
