    the shit keeps coming. The family dog that was totally imprinted on my late father and has some of his traits will probably need to be put down on Monday. He had a siezure yesterday, ruptured an eye, and stopped eating. Everything is shutting down.

    He is my favorite, grump, old, bastard. I'm gutted.

    PSA: Don't forget to back up your computer.

    Today I almost lost about 6 months of work on a mobile app I'm developing on a Mac of mine (I'm a PC guy so yes, negligence on my part for not being more proactive about backups on this secondary machine).

    So anyway, early this morning I'm greeted with a prompt: "An update is available for your Mac". Well, due to some dumb luck and a faulty monitor (long story), the update went awry and the hard drive was corrupted and couldn't be salvaged by Disk Utility's First Aid. Two trips to Best Buy, an online Apple store order upgraded to the premium-priced two hour white glove home delivery of over $100 in Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt 3 to USB-A to Giveusallyermoney-C and other assorted cables and converters that would allow me to put the machine into target disk mode so I could copy all the data over to another computer - and I finally get everything backed up and ready to format and reinstall. Ughh..

    Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..

    About 14 hours later and thousands of files, movies, tv shows copied, I restart, go into recovery mode again > disk utility > first aid and lo and behold.. the data partition checks out... what the actual fuck. It fixed itself after going into target disk mode?? The other partition with OS-specific files is still failing, but maybe the reinstall will fix that I wonder? So, I reinstall through recovery mode and what-do-ya-know, I'm greeted with a once-again working computer. I pause before the log in screen I'm presented with, and ponder the day wasted.. I log in and there before me as the final slap in the face, I'm greeted with the following: An update is available for your Mac. Hahah.. you fucker.. Yeah sure why not.. *click*

    Welp, there's my Saturday.. g'nite

    I have an old monocular which was a gift from my grandfather. But it has only 8x magnification. So, I just ordered one with 12x magnification. To be honest, it was one of those things, I only did because my work situation has changed dramatically in 2020 and I have too much free time.

    Yesterday: I'm in the park walking my dog Lemmy as usual, today was set to be a good day as I'd checked the tides and everything was perfectly timed for a walk through the park and back along the coast for a swim. I really did not expect the absolute nightmare that was about to unfold...

    2pm i took this photo, failing to frame dog being a looper beside a couple of impressive fly agaric mushrooms:

    About 5 minutes after this photo was taken the shit hit the fan. I don't often throw sticks having heard horror stories of dogs getting bits stuck in their stomachs, but I had forgot to bring tennis balls with me and when the dog picked up a big stick and dropped it right in my path, without even thinking I threw it for her... i was looking away when it happened but I think when it landed it must have stuck in the ground at an angle and she flew at the other end with her full weight... When I heard a yelp and saw the blood I knew it was bad.

    She was bleeding from below her tongue, it looked really nasty and I knew I had to get her to the nearest vets, but we were deep in the park at the time and we had walked there from home so the quickest way (rather than walking to the main park entrance and relying on hailing a lift with a good samaritan) was a 20 minute walk by a back path. So, I phoned ahead to the the vet and they said they would clear a spot and bring her right in.

    While on the phone to the vet I thought Lemmy could walk it, but she was losing so much blood by exerting herself it was horrifying (i think easily a pint at this point) I had to pick her up... terrifyingly she was colder and noticeably lighter than her normal 40 pounds.

    So, I ran both of us covered in blood, cradling pup for about 10 minutes through the park. We passed about 6 people with varying levels of concern but they were mostly old folks or women with kids or walking multiple dogs so there was nothing they could do to help (my girlfriend can barely lift the dog for more than a few seconds)... From the park I crossed a railway bridge and up a hill towards the vet... I'm reasonably fit but was about to collapse from exhaustion, occasionally reassuring the dog and a couple of times out of desperation shouting for help at passing cars. A right fucking mess :-| Just as I was weighing up wether I could physically make it up the rest of the hill I was able to shout over to some workmen and one of them ran over and gave us a lift the final 500 meters to the vets in his van.

    I only realised while passing a socially distanced queue outside the vets I had no mask with me but they were waiting and beckoned us in. A woman with her spaniel (who I'd probably bumped out of her appointment) opened the door and i ran straight in and plonked an incredibly frail doggo on the vets table. The vets just opened a couple months ago and bizarrely I'd only just registered the dog there last Tuesday to get her prescription for flea and worm meds... On inspection the wound had clotted over and stopped bleeding so the vet decided that given how weak she was to put her out the back room for an hour for observation as she may be in shock and wouldn't be safely check her cell counts or potentially give her a blood transfusion or IV. To my surprise they brought a chair and a mask so I could sit out there with the dog. I pretty much spend 24 hours a day with this pup so I didn't want to leave her there alone. I didn't even use the chair, just climbed in and sat on the floor of the cage with her...

    I'd phoned my girlfriend 3 times and I'm glad she hadn't answered - because at the point she phoned back dog had just stood up and was wagging her tail at the sounds and smells of other dogs in the vets and I was feeling slightly more positive about the situation. By the time she arrived in a taxi 15 minutes later, we were back in the vets office where doggo had perked up so much the vet just gave us some painkillers, told us we should take her home and keep an eye on her and to get her some red meat to build up her iron. Remarkably with no treatment we did the 10 min walk home with bloody pup pulling on the lead scaring the school kids.

    This was taken just before we went back in to the vets office around 3pm:

    But the worst for us was yet to come... Several hours later with the vets now long closed we cant get the dog to eat or drink at all, her heart rate has raised to 160, she's struggling to breathe and we're considering bringing her to the notoriously shitty and expensive night vets to get her an IV. In a last ditch attempt at 3am I use the syringe that came with the painkillers to shoot some water in her mouth. I dunno how, but I hacked the dog! she opened her mouth for the first time in hours, swallowed and licked her nose then we were able to use a sports bottle to get her to drink some more... by 5am she's up and drinking from her bowl. My girlfriend stays on the sofa beside her but I decide to go upstairs to lie down... to my surprise the dog follows me up and jumps in the bed at my feet.

    I'd set an alarm for 8:30, the vets open at 9 so this was going to be the last attempt at getting the dog to eat before bringing her back over to get an IV or transfusion. I put one of her wet pouches in her bowl and she wolfs it down and drinks about a pint of water, I cooked a steak rare and blended it with rice and gravy and she had that too... by 11 she was running around with a ball in her mouth... by 2pm as we were getting ready to bring her back to the vets for a checkup she was barking at the post man and running around the garden like a mad thing...

    This photo from our garden at 2pm today (24 hours after the first one):

    She's not out of the woods yet, she has a soft lump in her throat that could be internal bleeding, but could also be her saliva glands or a cyst caused by infection so keeping a close eye on her and could well be in for surgery tomorrow if it gets worse. But the immediate threat of death is gone, she's snoozing at my feet right now and I am totally emotionally and physically drained and need some fucking sleep.

    [TLDR] never throw sticks for dogs.

    On Sunday we went to do a meet and greet of a dog we were looking to foster. We’ve been fostering for a few years so do this reasonably often. Anyhow we got to the home the dog was at and the initial meeting went well, we always bring our dog (used to be dogs till our Boston passed away) to make sure the vibe is good. So check - meeting the foster dog is good. Then around the corner walks their teenage daughter, with another dog in tow, no leash. This dog goes straight for our dog who’s a 7lb dwarf shih tzu... 60-70lb Mastiff cross, just bee lines it for her, and grabs her by the head. Our dog tried as much as she could but obviously way overmatched. Within a second the potential foster dog jumps into the mix, likely off of the energy going down. So we have these two pretty huge dogs just mauling ours.

    We get the dogs off before the shaking starts, and rush to the vet, where the initial consult is “we need to get her to a hospital with an mri, and other neuro capabilities.” So we do all that, and long story short Lexi is in the hospital for 2 nights under observation for brain hemorrhaging, and to treat her wounds which included a tooth straight through her skull.

    We got her back today, fortunately no brain hemorrhage or swelling but the right side of her face is paralyzed and she can’t blink in that eye now. Her other eye actually hemorrhaged but should be fine. Her mouth is fucked up from the bites and will need dental surgery this week.

    She’s coming around, eating lots and we are slowly cleaning the blood out of her fur and putting in these drops which will probably be a lifelong thing as long as she doesn’t lose the eye.

    Take care of yer pups.

    • Poor Lexi! Hopeful for a speedy recovery. Also I'm not a particularly litigious person, but that's a fucking lawsuit.garbage
    • And doubly fucked up because it sounds like she's used to the socialization process when you foster dogs. Oof, poor thing.garbage
    • Garbage, yeah it's tricky because this organization doesn't have funds for lawsuits, and the family that was fostering did make a (shitty) but honest mistake.ben_
    • The org contributed a bit of money to the hospital bill, which was nice. The family says they will help but we're not holding our breath for that.ben_
    • The main thing that's coming out of this is a better protocol for these meetings. But Lexi's tough and has been through some shit, so she'll pull through.ben_
    • Fostering sounds hard enough, and props to you for doing it. Give Lexi an ear scritch from me, and keep us posted. Too much pup trauma in here lately.garbage
    • Holy shit. Not a good month for our puppers :(scarabin
    • Garbage, fostering has been pretty easy going, for us this has been a crazy exception to something otherwise really rewarding.ben_
    • We're likely going to let Lexi live out her days with the house to herself (she's closing in on 12), or maybe just foster pups in the meantime.ben_
    • Time for Lexi to rule the roost. Hope she's recovering well.garbage

    We put the family dog, Sammy, down yesterday afternoon. I thought he could maybe hang on a little longer or maybe turn it around but things went south quick.

    I haven't heard my mom cry like that since my dad died. It was awful. I told her to be strong for the other two pups. Sammy had 14 good years, and he was in pain. He needed a vacation and it was time for us to send him off to rest. She's heartbroken. I haven't really had a chance to process it.

    He was very much connected to the memory of my late father. Sammy's ashes will live next to his on the memory table in the office at my mom's house. Two pals reunited. :'(

    So we're now at the point some decisions need to be made. One of my partners wants to go down the path of getting seed funding from a larger firm or investment bank...along with hiring an experienced CEO ($300K+ and Options).

    My thoughts are this is probably jumping the gun at this point. I think we need to bootstrap a bit more with some lower level seed funding and leave the CEO stuff until a Series A type funding round. I think we'd have to give up too much at this point otherwise.

    It's all interesting and I suppose most startups confront decisions like this.
