Having a close bond with a pet can be so amazing yet it sucks, because I hate having to care so deeply for my cat, when I'd just rather be selfish and not care about anyone, it makes life easier. <br /><br />Hope Rocket gets better soon.Sabina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14679639206346030919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414859680777728593.post-3191371626671391122009-08-30T21:04:42.187-04:002009-08-30T21:04:42.187-04:00heh.

It's a...heh. "rocket has two dads". <br /><br />It's an unusual situation--splitting responsibility for a dog. It's worked out great in terms of making dog ownership possible for me by sharing responsibility for Rocket. But now that this has happened I see how deep it is. I don't know if I could have gotten through yesterday by myself. Thanks Ant.

I took a similar trip from the Isle of Staten to the Park Slope Animal Hospital when my cat Smokey ate thread & got it stuck around her intestines. Smokes was eventually okay after surgery, 2 days in the hospital and putting a significant dent in my wallet. It's amazing how quickly a pet becomes part of the family and you'd do anything to make them better. Rocket is so lucky to have found his two dads :)Dijamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296264088223260157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414859680777728593.post-16399894857314085252009-08-30T13:03:00.959-04:002009-08-30T13:03:00.959-04:00OMG, Joe, I am so sorry to read this. Losing a pe...OMG, Joe, I am so sorry to read this. Losing a pet is devastating. Praise be Rocket is alive and going to make it. My second week in LA, I was walking along La Brea and Santa Monica Blvd and i witnessed a dog get hit by a car. It was so fucking crazy. No one did anything but me and this guy on a bike. Adrenaline took over and I was in the middle of the street directing traffic and screaming STOP, DOG HIT. It was a big dog, and I knew I could not carry it alone, so bike guy and I carried him to the sidewalk, checked his breathing, etc, and fortunately he was wearing a tag so we called the owner. The dog was a mottled mix, i don't know what exactly. I am pretty sure he survived. I hope you are alright and by the way, i love labs! I had a black lab named Satchel when I was a kid. I will make a petition to the patron saint of animals for you. : )Emily Eplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918813521283216548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414859680777728593.post-77605892363327980812009-08-30T11:40:28.968-04:002009-08-30T11:40:28.968-04:00@Jehanzeb @Fiqah

Ugh, I can't imagine how horrible the night has been for you.<br /><br />I'm glad your dog is recovering now. I read this after eating for Ramadan, so I made sure I prayed for your dog. I pray that he will be fine soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
