Maybe he's tired, I tell myself.<br /><br />Lagniappe has many, many good days left with you, of course. And even when those legs are less than useful he can have a cart to run with. But I am so damned sorry to know you'll be coping with this one day.<br /><br />Enjoy these good days and know he has had an amazing life because of your patient kindness.LauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597941562529910169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-50548696550833478112010-07-19T05:55:26.164-05:002010-07-19T05:55:26.164-05:00Very sorry to hear this.

(I believe it's ordinarily used to relieve joint pain) Lemme know if I can help locate a vet near you that has one of these laser things, apparently they're fairly new and may not be all over the place yet.<br />Best wishes and hope Lagniappe stays as well as possible.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338275424057525500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-48056290698099680572010-07-17T13:11:42.047-05:002010-07-17T13:11:42.047-05:00I was very sad to read this and it brought tears t...I was very sad to read this and it brought tears to my eyes as well.

...We are sorry to hear Lagniappe has this disease. <br /><br />It always means a laugh to come here and read his latest escapades and compare him to our first dog, Ezra. They were similar in their naughtiness. Our new dog, Duke is similar to Lagniappe too, only his favorite toy is a bunny. <br /><br />They say pets are good therapy for us and Duke helps to take my mind off the pain. Of course having a 70+ pound dog jumping on you doesn't always feel good but then they give you that "what's wrong?" look and all is well. <br /><br />My girls told me they saw some hedgehog toys the other day and immediately thought of you and Lagniappe. <br /><br />All our best to you both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-26145324407984391672010-07-16T19:20:14.123-05:002010-07-16T19:20:14.123-05:00Thanks everyone.

Still, I can't imagine life without their companionship. No way, no how.<br /><br />I'm relieved at least to know that your buddy has time left, and there's one thing I know with clear moral certainty: he's in the best of hands.<br /><br />You will both be in our thoughts.Ranger Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03230068091748621186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-85983321137323622032010-07-15T21:12:28.094-05:002010-07-15T21:12:28.094-05:00Brings a tear to know that he will pass and you wi...Brings a tear to know that he will pass and you will eventually lose a treasured friend. Each time a loved pet's time comes it never gets easier for me; and with their passing it underscores my own mortality. Yet despite the grief I keep going out to do it again. Their unconditional love is unquestionably worth the pain upon their demise. I'll say a prayer for you and Langniappe. May he have many many more days to bless you with his love.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326374972002476278noreply@blogger.com
