Intestinal obstruction.  5 grand to operate.  

Can't swing that. Probably putting the boy down. 

Hate to hear that. Might want to call the regular vet tomorrow and see what they charge. The ER vets are notoriously expensive. Just like the regular ER 

@kl8ton totally agree with @DoubleEgger. Surgery at my clinic would be in the $1500-2000 range. ERs are good, but expensive. 

We did decide to put Duke down.  One of the hardest things to go through.  I am glad my son was there.  It was his dog.  We were with him while they put him to sleep.  

They informed us that our vet would be less expensive, but that he should be on IV and pain meds over night.  My bill at ER would have been just over $1800, then I would still be looking at surgery with no guarantees at the vet in the morning if they could have got him in.

Heartbreaking night/day for us.

He just turned one.

Sorry, man. I know that was tough.

Sorry to read that @kl8ton As mentioned earlier in the thread they are part of the family and it is a heart wrenching decision to make, but needs to be made none the less. 

At least he is in no more pain. Rest assured, when the time is right, he will be waiting for you with his tail wagging because their love is timeless and unconditional.

Had to do it a handful of times myself over the years. It’s never easy. Sorry for the loss.

Sorry, @kl8ton.  He was a handsome guy.  I'm really sorry you and your family had to go thru that.

ColtsFan

So sorry @kl8ton that you had to go through this.

Take a glass of ice water and swish it around in there. Should about make you pass out. The rest will be nothing.

Thanks Brent. Gave them some gator pickles and went to the store. They just left and are bring more people tomorrow and another truck. Bill just went up but don’t care.  Rick is going to help some tomorrow. Now time to have a few and go to bed.

Sorry to read of your loss, @kl8ton. There are no words.

Went to a funeral today. Good friend of mine passed away with lung cancer. He was a member of an Old Regular Baptist Church. All I can say if you haven’t attended a Old Regular Baptist Church service or funeral then you are missing out.

Processing this...

I haven't met him yet. She claims he knows what Linux is, if that's true, it's a +1 in my book.

10 years ago for me.  No good advice Dwayne.

I would say start saving for the wedding Dwayne....maybe not this one.....but that will be painful when the day comes.

Just finished an amazing meal at Steak 48 in Houston. Was an amazing meal. Steaks were fantastic. Almost forgot the pic. 

Lord-a-mercy.....I would have been happy just gnawing on that bone.

I am so sorry. They are members of our families.

 This is my first real cook with my new Smokeware cap. My fifth or so on the PSWOO. I've had my Egg for almost a year. I've burnt over 1000 pounds of lump cooking on it three to seven nights per week. I never get tired of a spatchcocked bird. This is my style; skin freed, legs turned and tucked. This one is basted in butter and coated in DP FireWalker. No raw wood this time. Just Rockwood.

@kl8ton
Having had to put down my golden, killed me, and made it impossible, to get another, until recently. We have another pup now, and I can't believe I had waited so long. The aggravation is far outweighed by the joy they bring.
I am so sorry for your loss. Do not wait...get back on the horse.
It is worth it.
Our best to you.

kl8ton

Thank you all for the kind words about Duke. 

WeberWho

Don't tell my wife but I'M IN LOVE!!! 

I first had to set the mood.....



I'm proud to say I'm no longer a tri-tip virgin!



What an incredible cut of meat. Fantastic beef flavor. My buddy always talked them up but I never ran across them before. Low and behold the local grocery store carries them. I found it in the meat clearance section. I figured it was the perfect opportunity. Man oh man it did not disappoint. My wife also agreed. I may have found my new favorite cut of steak!

dont use your fingers as spatula assist on loaded smashed potato patties. 

Dont ask how I know.

And? What are your thoughts on the smokeware?

@WeberWho welcome to the club. A favorite at our place too. A good drinking cook too as it's so forgiving.
