Some pictures from 2012

 Last picture of 2012

 Late December 2012 I lost my job due to the current economic crisis...

Even though i took the unemployment benefit for 2013 , 360euros a month to help support a 4 person (brother working but rarely contributing and mother has a part time job paying next to nothing...father is a lazy prick...) & 2 dog family is very difficult...

I went into depression...spending all day playing PC games and watching movies all day long...for almost 2 months...
Finally got over it ,but no jobs were anywhere to be found for months...

I got both my furbabies checked at the vet middle of February 2013. According to the vet Husko was ''turbo-healthy'' considering his was probably 10yo at the time...

These are the ''off'' Low or High numbers i see...
WBC L 5,16 * 10^3 cells/μL
MCV H 77,0 fL
MCHC L 30,2 q/dL
CHCM L 30,0 q/dL
RDW L 11,8 %

WBC L
Neut 66,8% L
Mono 3,4% L

MACRO +
HYPO ++


 Since almost the start of 2013 i was taking them on 5-15min ''bicycle-walks/jogs/runs'' almost every other night in order for Husko to drop some weight...
I eventually noticed a slow decline in Huskos' endurance...considering he was probably 10yo.
Come March i stopped it completely because i didn't want to do harm to Husko by making him jog/run...he was clearly not enjoying it.

These are maybe the last pictures of Husko healthy (late April)...

 Looking back, i remember bathing him in May and noticing his skull had a bit less muscle mass on the top...(he always hated the bath so i only bathed him 2-3 times a year ,but used a vinegar-wet towel every 1-2months)...figured my baby is just getting older...

Can't remember when exactly i noticed he couldn't jump anymore for treats...maybe as far back as 2012...

He slowly seemed to loose strength in his hind legs...
By early June he sometimes needed a tiny gentle touch of help to stand up...
So...just to be safe...we went to the vet...

A visit i will always regret for the rest of my life...
