I posted about my mostly Presa Canario in that thread.
This morning around 7:45 EST something happened to him. He was fine then he made a noise and vomited. He thrashed about in what I initially thought was his back scratching routine but then I realized it looked like he had lost control of his muscles. He started breathing really hard. I tried calling the vet but they weren't open yet so I thought I'll take him to the emergency animal hospital. He's so big I had to get the neighbor to help me lift him into the backseat of my truck.
Louis is no longer alive. He either died on the way to the vet or he was already dead when we put him in the truck. It had to be an aneurysm, or heart attack. He was 7 years old.
Just needed to share. I'm missing the big idiot.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Condolences, I know how attached one to them one can get.
I've had a couple of good friends I've had to put down for one reason or another and still miss them.

Very sad news. Grizzly is usually right nearby while I'm working. At the start of 2022 I bought a raised desktop to try to improve my health a bit. Now he is even more underfoot since there isn't a chair to block him. Working from home would just feel wrong without him "supervising". I'm sad to hear of your loss of Louis.

The wife and I are proud staff to an elderly dog (15 years old). He's looking pretty rough these days and I fear the day he passes.

Very sorry to hear, they really are members of the family, and being so young... 
Our pup who's 12 1/2, was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. It was alot more difficult to process than I thought it could be. She's old, but still my little girl. You have my sympathies.

You have my utmost condolences...so unexpected too!
I have an 8 y/o cocker and already know how much it's going to crush the wife and admittedly myself when he is gone. Until then, we make the most of each day and appreciate the joy he brings.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences too. I know what it is like, I had to bring my 13-year-old Westie, Scoon, the rescue dog to the vet to end his suffering, when he stopped eating and could not walk any more.
I cried all the way home.

I went through the same thing recently with my greyhound Hera. Over a four day period she went from being fine to crying every time she tried to get up or walk. We discovered she had osteosarcoma (bone cancer), and had fractured her shoulder where the cancerous lesions had weakened it. The suddenness of it all gave us no time to come to terms, and it's been rough.

The only issue with keeping pets, they die and we need to deal with that! And the giant dogs do not have a long life span but 7 seems a little early. Thankfully our 2 labs have a decade or so in them.
Let the sun shine on his soul and some joy return to your life.

Hey Mark. So sorry for your loss. Must have been a real shock to have that happen so unexpectedly.
We also lost a dog over the weekend. We had the vet around to put our 14-year-old Working Cocker Spaniel, Cassie, to sleep. She's been sick for a while with chronic pancreatitis.
I miss her so much. They're such a big part of our lives and leave a huge whole when they go.
My thoughts and condolences are with you for the loss of your Louis.

This file formet seems to be becoming more & more popular. Unfortunately, it only shows up as a stupid browser app icon in Windows Explorer, and with no preview, and then it opens up a heavy browser app to view it. Certainly there must be a better way. For me, it needs to reside in the Program Files directory, not in AppData, and automatically (or at least allow the user to do so) sets itself as the defaulr program for SVG files. AND of course, it must be FREE.

How come everything in the washing machine ends up inside the duvet cover? And I mean everything!
It doesn't make any sense, yet it always happens. Is there some scientific explanation for it?

have you tried asking the duvet?

I don't know, but the reason most ghosts are white is they're created when people die while trying to fold a duvet.

Simple: Don't wash everything else with the duvet ...
The real magic comes when trying to get the duvet inside the duvet cover when you have a cat to help you ...

Pixies. Though the more scientific explanation probably involves centrifugal (or the other one, can never figure out which is the right one) forces during the spin cycle.
