      @@RichardBorgmandabs I live in a very warm and humid climate. Every delivery service I’ve tried with protein , veggies and fruits can’t seem to deliver food without the dry ice or other cold packs melting/evaporating before it gets to my front door. I go with seasonal local produce and bring it home myself. It’s finding snacks and the basics to make low-carb breads, crackers, etc. that is a problem. I found a recipe using coconut oil the other day that should have been easy to make. I couldn’t find coconut oil anywhere, including health food stores. Maybe it was the Holiday cooking crush, but this is worth a try.

    Sad to hear about Kenji, God Bless him. I have a LhasaApso/Shihtzu ,Charlie, Charlie had a tumor on his side, vet kept draining it, finally could drain no more. Within a month tumor grew to size of a softball. He is 13 years old, vet operated, Charlie did fine. Mass sent out, results came in, stage 2 Cancer,low grade. Hes happy, no pain, eats good, slightly overweight but at least gave him more time. Enjoy them while with us.

    So sad for Kenji. He has had the best life a dog could have. You can talk all you want about rainbow bridges, but when you deal with a family pet it can be heartbreaking. When our dog, Sherlock, passed, I think I cried for days. I still grieve for him. My heart goes out to you. Love him up while you can, Kenji knows you love him. That matters.

    When I was 10 y/o my cousins from Kentucky, who were carpenters, came to stay with us for a summer and build a new house for my family. I was on the job site all day everyday and learned a bit of everything about construction. I added this to the knowledge I was already gaining from being a farm kid, knowing about growing crops and raising animals, along with repairing things when they break. Ironically, many years later, I began working for a retail home improvements chain as a manager. It was invaluable knowledge that I had retained from all those years int eh past that helped me work with a variety of customers from homeowners to landscape and construction contractors. So it's never a bad thing to learn life lessons when you're young.

    I have also taught my dog with hip arthritis to “stretch” after laying down for some time. It helps with his hip PLUS allows blood flow to the area that might had been restricted lying down thus making the hind leg to fall asleep. I remind him as he’s getting up to “stretch” and reward him with enthusiasm. Front legs straight out and his hip up high for a good stretch.

    OMG guys, my heart is breaking for you with Kenji. My own GSD is turning 11 in April which is very old for a German Shepherd. She is also losing weight (muscle mass) but thankfully her hips are still good. I pray you get another year or two with Kenji, and I get the same with my Leta. Jeremy, you must be SO happy to be done with the overhead drywalling. When we added the 520 sq ft addition to our home, we used scissor trusses for the cathedral ceilings. The worst/hardest part of the entire addition build was doing the overhead drywalling. I am so happy for you that it is done. You need to oil up that drywall lift lol. We are finally back to reality here in N. Saskatchewan. Currently -20 and going to -42 on Tuesday night brrrr. I see in your forecast that snow and cold is coming for you too this coming week. The mild fall was a nice change for us up here. As always, sending love and hugs and a special hug for Kenji and a "woof" from my Leta and Colt.

I don't regret it one bit. He gave our family joy for over 19 years, and we wanted to do whatever we could for him!

    Kenji is indeed a warrior. In the pain we're certain he's in, he still is enjoying his family on New Years Eve like a 4 month old puppy! I pray a miracle happens, because seeing loved ones suffer is against our beliefs. Love ya'll ❤️

    However much time Kenji has, he's had the absolutely best life, in a stunning location called home, surrounded by the best family that loves and cares for him. Truly special. Happy New Year one and all!

    Happy New Years you guys and gals. Yep .... when your pets get old it is difficult to watch them go down hill. My German Shorthaired pointer Max was 110 pounds when he was a mean and lean hunting machine. By the time he passed, he was less than 75 lbs. He was 14 years old when he passed in 2020. All we can hope for is that they do not suffer in the end. All the best to your family, and most of all to the "Wrinkle Dog" Kenji .... take care🐕✌🏻

    It is so hard to watch our beloved pets getting older. I know I love watching Kenji as many others. Kenji has had a wonderful loved life. I have two cats who are not phased with fireworks or thunder. The girls will sit at the slider and listen to it.

    January 20th will be the 2nd anniversary of my Ziva crossing the Rainbow Bridge. She loved me perfectly for 12 years, but she was tired, in pain, and she was ready. I held her and cried the day she came into the world, and I held her and cried the day she left it. I got another fur baby a few months later, and I swear that Ziva is somehow giving Brody pointers on how to get certain reactions out of me. He still surprises me with his out of the blue "Ziva-isms", and if she really is teaching him how to con me out of extra treats, I guess I'm ok with it!
    There is one thing that I know for sure when it comes to our pets. They love us so completely, so amazingly, so selflessly, up until their last breath... and the only thing that we can do for them when their time comes, is to hold them, tell them it's ok, and to give all of that love back to them.

    Dear Kenji, all that remains for me is to thank you for the company you have given us throughout the journey. I never heard a single bark from you to tell us something, but with your look you told us enough. Until the last days your fortitude is demonstrated, since not even illness bends your great body and it does not dull your eyes either. You will go to a place where we are all going to arrive sooner or later, you will be with your canine friends and the most important thing is that you will not feel the pain that we know you carry in a brave and gallant way. I hope that in that future reunion you still remember us, great friend. ❤❤

    Getting old is not fun-and if you think of a dog who lives majority of his life outside, time, weather, moves from one climate to another and so on takes its toll. What makes a difference in Kenjis case is that he’s well loved and cared for. Here’s to the life his 90 year old self has lived and time to enjoy what’s left with his people♥️happy 2024 to all of you!

    Kenji has had an incredible life you all of you. I love that you do not hesitate to get him checked and do what is necessary to insure he is comfortable. Having had dogs my whole life, and losing more than I care to think of, I know exactly how all of you feel. You are good dog parents. My prayers are with Kenji for more quality time with all of you. He is such a sweet, smart dog. The garage is looking great and love that you won't be using it for storage, just cars. The apartment will be such a great addition to your home. God Bless all of you, stay warm and safe and looking forward to next week. My Saturday entertainment!!!

    Hi Guys, Always nice to see you all. I realized that my old cc was discontinued and my membership with you ended. I finally got around to renewing. Things are looking so good! Always inspirational. Kenji is such a good boy and he has been living his life surrounded by love and fresh air. My prayer is that he lives the remainder of his days as comfortably as possible and that you're all going to be able to handle whatever may be by simply loving each other through. I'm happy to be doing my little part to show support for all of the warmth your family has offered my soul. :)

    Blessings, debby

    I have had three cats now. When the first one died, the void was unbearable. It was really hard to cope with the change in routine, but I couldn't see getting another cat because that seemed to be disloyal, and I couldn't imagine replacing my "child." A year to the day later, another cat showed up on our back porch and I adopted her. After 19 years, I finally lost her, too. I got another cat five days later. The difference in the pain level was night and day. Having a new baby to love filled the void and made letting go SO much easier. After going through both experiences, I highly recommend getting another dog as soon as possible after you have to say goodbye to Kenji. Also, keep in mind that you have given Kenji a wonderful life, and that he will no longer be in any kind of pain, but will be waiting joyfully for when you are all reunited again.

    So lovely to see Kenji so full of bouncy excitement & joy about the fireworks, & sharing that with you all…hopefully you will all get to share as many more moments as possible like this with him. ❤
    I wonder whether a winter doggy jacket might perhaps help him with his hips & spine during the colder weather (perhaps even a heated one)? It might also offer him a little padding/ insulation from the surfaces he lies on, especially in areas where he’s perhaps lost some from his body.
