[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: I took my huskies to the park yesterday to let them run

	And this morning they are both hurting. My female is limping around and my male's back legs are barely working. Time really caught up to them these past few months. They are 11 this year, I wonder if they will make it to 12. -----signature----- Using the mirror of ridicule to force conservatives to confront their own stupidity.

	Always a tough decision... when "enough is enough" for animals we can keep alive but in pain or dysfunction -- well past their intended or natural life span. And I fail to see what this has to do with goading people about politics. Unless that was it. -----signature----- In the immortal words of Socrates - "I drank what?"

	Just adjust their lifestyle and enjoy them while you have them. -----signature----- Lady, people aren't chocolates. D'you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

	Thugoneous posted: Just adjust their lifestyle and enjoy them while you have them. This. One of our Doxies has developed bad back issues in the last year. We've had to get him to seriously chill when it comes to playing with the puppy, jumping down from the couch, running down steps, etc. - stuff he really loves to do. When it's time, you'll know. For now, just realize they are senior dogs and treat them accordingly. A walk in the park next time, not a run. -----signature----- Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich First comes smiles, then lies.

	Sorry about your dogs, I know it must be tough. My father in law has always had black labs and we use them for bird hunting. The oldest is almost 12 and has a bad shoulder but it would be a cold day in hell if she ever sat out of a hunt. The vet gave my in-laws pain meds for really bad days (days we hunt) and joint relief stuff for everyday. The hunts are mainly for them anyways, but its very sad seeing her age like that, I can remember hunting over her when she was 3 or 4 and she could hunt all day and still be ready to go. I am dreading the day my Jack Russell has to leave me, I have had the little guy since I was 19 -----signature----- DAoC, WAR, WoW, AoC, L2, Allods, Aion, LotRo, SC2, Darkfall, Global Agenda, RIFT, WoT, BF3, Skyrim WAR Video - Filefront http://tinyurl.com/bhtytb Youtube - http://tinyurl.com/34epmh8 Old DAoC Hero Vid - http://tinyurl.com/27to8zb

	Fyi, it's safe to give your dogs un-buffered aspirin for general soreness. Confirm it with your vet if you have to. -----signature----- Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire. -Roland Deschain, of Gilead

	I am determined not to be one of the people that goes ten thousand dollars in debt and puts his dogs through surgeries and misery to extend their life another year. But if there are some good ways to keep them comfortable and relatively happy a little while longer I will do that for sure. I started giving them glucosamine and condrointin supplements. It will also help when we move into the new house as they will only have four steps to deal with instead of 20 and the park is two blocks away instead of a car ride that requires hopping in and out. -----signature----- Using the mirror of ridicule to force conservatives to confront their own stupidity.
