we collected 6 foster kittens from the spca: CUTE
Can tell Huckleberry is one well loved family member. He is very handsome. Sorry to hear about his cancer diagnoses.
This is my besy buddy, Huckleberry, our 6.5 year old Great Dane. He's a legend.
Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with bone cancer 3 weeks ago, and last week he had one of his back legs amputated.
He'll start chemo next week, but it is incurable. It will eventually spread to his lungs. He should have a decent stint left first though, and he'll enjoy every minute of it!
He's doing amazing on 3 legs, it's been a heck of a week with him, getting him through the early post-op stages, but he's getting stronger every day. He's a real champ, we can learn so much from them.
This is daisy our cute but curious cat
1600m2 block... that size isn't common. In my area right now a 400m2 block sells for $350 000. 10 k's from the CBD, so very lucky to have a nice big backyard.
We actually purchased the 1600m2 block as an IP. It backs onto our PPOR block. So we moved the fence to steal 800m2 of the IP's back yard and added it to ours. So now we have an L shaped 1600m2 block. See pic: the PPOR is the yellow outline and the IP is the red outline.
The 1600m2 block cost $370k at a mortgagee auction in 2012. After all reno costs, stamp duty, etc... I spent a total of $410 000 on the property. It got valued a year or so ago for $550 000 by the bank.
The dogs absolutely love the big backyard, they run around like crazy. We have chickens behind that cream pool fence section you can see in the previous pic and the dogs love to run up and down tormenting chickens.
It's so sad when your pets get sick and pass away. Our little boy "Butters" (golden retriever) died last year, he was only 3yo. Poor guy had a congenital defect with his liver. Most dogs with that particular condition don't make it past their first birthday. But a successful 7 hour long surgery got him another 2 years.
The new next door neighbours have a Great Dane, our golden retrievers think he is awesome.
I read on wikepedia the other day that their life expectancy is only 6-8 years. Seems so short, even for a dog.
But yeah I feel your pain, it can be a lot like losing a child.
