wow.Maybe a little less. The whole crew eats 10 lbs per day of raw. But Bennie gets the most
Tor has cancer. Doc says he has a few months before it gets bad. It's in the bone in his jaw but it hasn't metastasized yet. We could cut out a big part of his lower jaw -- he'd hate that -- and then put him into chemo and radiation, which he'd hate even more.
We're going to wait until he stops enjoying himself -- right now he's in good spirits and doesn't know anything's wrong except he has a mass in his mouth that makes him drool more than usual -- and once he starts really slowing down we'll put him down before it gets too bad.
Hell of a ride he's had, though. Such a good boy.

Jesus. Really sorry to hear about that Rainy.Tor has cancer. Doc says he has a few months before it gets bad. It's in the bone in his jaw but it hasn't metastasized yet.

We talked it out again today and we're going to wait until the bad days start to outnumber the good days. Then we'll send him on his way on a good day.
Sorry to hear that, Rain Man . Make the most out of his final days.
I've always wondered how people can even have dogs in this day and age when you're at work for 8-12 hours a day? And what do you do with weekend trips and holidays? I'd love to have a dog, but can't see myself having enough time till I retire. And when I retire I'd probably want to spend most of my time travelling.
Awwww. Those paws are huge. She's gonna be a big one.Tor is getting retired to management. We picked out an emergency backup dog yesterday; we're bringing her home on Saturday. She's a boxer-mastiff cross, 7 weeks old and built like a brick shithouse at 16 lbs.

The ears, too. She's gonna be a monster.Awwww. Those paws are huge. She's gonna be a big one.
Interesting Newsweek article on Tosa fighting in Japan on Yahoo right now. If I knew how to post a link I would. Hiroshi Sudo, the veterinarian mentioned in the article, once paid us a visit to check on our imported dog Zuma. He was still a teenager then. The article overplayed the frequency of fatalities in the fights. I have always heard they are extremely rare.
awww. he's a cute little fucker.

jesus how many guard dogs are you getting?He'll be on his way out to BC soon. He is the brother of our other Shepard from a subsequent litter.

i was clearly counting the chihuahua.He's only the second (not counting the chihuahua)
Sadly, none. I am virtually certain I am done with the Tosas. Wonderful dogs (although doubtless not to everyone's taste), but all too many of them die way too young. I once did a statistical calculation on about 70 Tosas whose life histories I knew. About 38 percent made it to age eight, and only 20 percent survived to age 10. Of the five I owned, none made it to seven. In any event, hardly anybody is breeding them in the USA anymore.How old is your Tosa(s)? You have more than one, no?

In fact, I doubt seriously that we shall ever get another dog. I love good dogs, but owning one (if you take it seriously) involves an awful lot of work, expense and responsibility, all too often to be concluded with a heartbreak only a few years down the road. I'll just content myself with my parrot, who will be turning 31 in a few days, and the goldfish in my pond, a couple of whom are at least 15 years old.
She´s 14 today. there were many times in the past fourteen years when I would have given everything to know I would celebrate this day. She survived everything from tetanus to cancer. Today she still wants to lead the way. I walk extra slow so she is faster than me.

Really?!! I didn't realize that they were such a hot commodity!Last time I was in China, one from a reputable breeder costs about about 30k to 50k USD.
