Sorry to hear, I'm dreading that day like all pet owners and congrats on the new Sammy, cute pup. Samoyeds are awesome. What happened to your last one? Ours is gonna be 10 this summer.

DriftBusta Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Great looking pup Slinger. I so want a dog, and I so don't. We both work all day, and I'd just hate to leave a new puppy home alone all day. My daughter just got a highland terrier and its a little mental case.

Samoyeds are awesome. What happened to your last one? Ours is gonna be 10 this summer. our vet, who was out of town at the time, thinks he had a stroke that affected his heart/lungs. we got back from snowmobiling one afternoon and he didn't get up to see us, which was a little odd, but not much, as he had been having some trouble with arthritis (he was 12). When we went to help him up his eyes started rolling around and he couldn't stay up. we couldn't get hold of our vet and headed to an animal ER in Syracuse. he died on the way over, with his head on my lap. on my wife's b-day. I've been having a very rough time since and we thought it best to get a new one. I knew you had a samy as well, was wondering if he/she was still around, good to see that's still the case.

I highly recommend these dogs to anyone. they're absolutely great family dogs, especially with kids. I usually go home for lunch so he'll get attention. it'll be liking having a new baby in the house again for a little awhile. I'm back to being awoken in the middle of the night for a bathroom break. 14 minutes ago, Biggie Smails said: Damn that is tough...glad this new pup will help ease the loss. they always are. I had been fearing how it was going to end with him, as he had been a little slow and unstable for awhile. was I going to come home and find him yelping and not being able to move? would he fall over when pinching a loaf and not be able to get up? I was pretty sure we'd have to put him down soon so I like to think he went his way, peacefully, and putting no decisions on us. I thought it may be a bit early for another, but not any longer. he is definitely filling the void.

I was travelling back in 08 when my dog went down and could not get up, wife had to get a friend to help load him in the truck for the trip to the vet to be put down. Wife rushed into taking in a rescue that didn't work then went 3 years without. While I sometimes would prefer to not have a dog the new one makes everyone happier.

ckf Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Loosing a pet is one of the hardest things we have to go through. That's the main reason I didn't want to get another dog. But Nicole had to have one. She fell in love with Izzy when her cousins girlfriend was sharing pics on FB from Tennessee. Now that we have her I couldn't imagine what it would be like without her. I just wish she didn't have a bad case of separation anxiety. The vet said they could put her on something for it, but we don't want a medicated dog either.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted March 13, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nice looking pup, Slinger. Happy birthday as well. I had to put my chocolate furball down a little over a year ago. I miss having a dog a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that's tough. We lost a female due to stroke or massive heart attack. She went while I was away sleeping in her regular spot. Like I posted earlier, we've lost four pups now. And every damn one of them make me cry like a girl. Love my dogs! Good to hear many feel the same way. Congrats on the new puppy! I couldn't imagine spending anytime without a dog in my life.

People tend to believe that Samoyeds shed a lot which they don't, I prefer to call it clumping at times you'll notice a white clump here and there, just pick it up and throw it away, easy,peasy, japaneasy.
