Hill Billy Butt

So far this week can kiss my white, hairy, american hillbilly butt!!! LOL I've not had the greatest start to the week.

Found out Monday morning that Gigantor's grandma died over the weekend. Well...sad yes, but come on the woman was 96 and in very bad shape. Found out mid Monday morning that a good friend of the family...big friend to my mom, around her age died over the weekend. WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE, STOP CROAKING!!!

My old man dog (Bassett hound that will be 12 in May) all of a sudden couldn't walk. Now this is Buck, I got him when he was 4 1/2, he had been severely neglected the first 4 years of his life. I was told by the vet that Bassetts live to be 8 to 10 years old, and with how bad his treatment was it would be a gift to get 8 years out of him. My old man will be 12 in May. So...yeah he's lived a lot longer than we expected.

Anywhooooo when he was 8 he developed arthritis in his front shoulder, but we put him on a joint formula and this dog has done wonderful!! Yesterday, he couldn't walk, couldn't put any weight on his paw. Just flopped down and stayed where ever he landed. We rushed him into the vet. The vet says it's his arthritis, that has gotten much much worse, and his cup that holds the ball to his joint is jagged and disintegrating. And a piece of it probably came off and is floating between the ball and cup, and causing excruciating pain. He gave him a heavy duty pain shot, and some massive heavy duty pain pills for a week. If they work, we will put him on a pain pill regimen for the rest of his life. (cuz pain pills do destroy the kidneys) If it doesn't work, we can try one more shot. If that doesn't work, there is nothing to do. Short of extensive x-rays and surgery. Now I love my dog, but come on. He's 12....I can't see spending up to 1000 dollars that maybe give him a few more months, and he die of old age anyway. I always said as long as I could keep him out of pain and suffering I would, but once he starts, that's it, I'll do what I have to.

Anywhooo...after finding out about two deaths, then about how we are starting the last journey with our old man. Monday just sucked major dirty, unwipped ass!!!!!

On a side note, this goes out to all you celebrities out there.
