Our 14 year old Pooh Bear. We lost him to cancer on 9-24. He had been battling hyperthyroidism and started doing better and gaining wieght back. Then he became lethargic,distant, not being himself for the last week or so. The last day or so he seemed to be struggling each breath. We got to the vet and they did xrays and found fluid on his lungs which turned out to be a type of lymphomic cancer. The vet said they could try to drain the fluid but he would only make a month or 2 at the most. I couldn't stand the thought of watching him slowly die and struggle to breathe so I had to make the decision. His last couple of days i believe he knew the end was near. He would lay beside us as always but would not face us or look at us. Lately he had spending alot time to himself which was not his normal self.

this is going to be a post about two dogs that I lost this year.
1st was my little Girl Charlie (well not so little) she was a Chow / Golden Retriver Mix. I had her since 2000 when I lived in Utah. I lost her in August she would have loved the snow that we currently are having she just loved to play in it. I miss her a lot but it was for the best. She could no longer walk properly and so I had the Vet come to my home as I could not get her in the Car. She passed away in her favorite spot and is now with me as I had her cremated. ------------------------------------------------------------
now to the one that was my little sweetheart Kaiser he was a Golden Retriever Papillon Mix. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma in January of this year. We started him on a Chemo regiment and everything seemed to be going good. A few month later he was diagnosed with Diabetes which resulted him being blind in one eye. He managed really well and it did not seem to bother him at all. He also loved the snow so he and I where lucky that we could play in the snow for the last time this past week. Wednesday he had his Chemo Injection and again all his blood work looked great. Thursday night his health went south and with the weather being so bad the Vet was closed so I had to wait until Saturday. Unfortunately his Kidneys where already in bad shape so the best thing was to put him down and reunite him with Ballas (12.21.12) and Charlie (08.26.13). I though that after having to do this already twice the 3rd time would be a little easier but I was wrong. It has hit me really hard and I am still in a funky mood. Going from having three dogs to zero dogs in 12 month is no cake walk that is for sure. Kaiser was my little buddy he followed me everywhere and loved to ride in the car with me. I miss him so much it is hard to put this into words. Having nobody around to greet you when you get home or the silence in the night is something that will take time to get used to. I will post some pictures later but I just needed to get this of my chest. |

Lily (Nene): April 2001 - July 2012
I obtained Lily from a breeder after multiple summers doing yard work and mowing lawns. I saved every penny knowing that I wanted a German Shepherd. Lily gave me the best 11 years of my life. She never judged me. She always loved me. She was dealt the worst possible hand from the very beginning. She was plagued with illness. She was poisoned by an angry neighbor. And she was kicked by a horse. Through it all she never gave up. Her poise and valor never waivered. She was always happy and ready to play. She supported me when I needed it most. She protected me from the evil in the world. All she asked for was my love. Sometimes I wasn't the best, but she didn't care. She saw the best in me and never doubted me. The June of 2012 was her last fight with illness.... Cancer works fast. Now 2 years later as I type this out I'm filled with sadness and grief. Lily was the best dog and young man could as for! Lily I know you're waiting for me on the other side. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a490/benroskelley/054_zpsd0bdb608.jpg 3 months old http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a490/benroskelley/001_zps141be2e7.jpg This is her after our last run together http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a490/benroskelley/044_zps96bec448.jpg Her last day with us.

Dear Lord this thread's depressing...

Ninja Flying Dragon Turtle.
My six year old Beagle was killed on the 5th of this month when my neighbors kids came over and left my back yard gate open. He ran out and ran into the road and was killed by a car instantly. My good, poor son ran after him and saw it happen. I will never forget the sight of my son crying, carrying the lifeless body of our Ninja covered in blood from head to toe. Ninja was his trusty and faithful friend. That dog changed my mind about animals. I was never a fan of them until I met Ninja. He was the one who won my heart and opened a new world for me. RIP little buddy, may you eat all the cheez-its in heaven that you can handle. |

Thank you. That little twerp totally changed my mind about anklebiters. He had the body of a chihuahua, but he had the heart and mind of a GSD. He was a good dog.

A little black cat filled with love. He was about six months old when he came into my life in 2000 as a stray, hanging around the front door. He wiggled his way into my heart back then and now, fifteen years later there is a huge void. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 12:00 this afternoon (Friday 08/28/2015). Goodbye buddy, I miss you terribly. I'll always love you. 2000-2015 |

My bud Storm. 2/2 childhood dogs. First was put down two years ago (cancer) and Stormy was put this morning. He would have been 15 years in February. His mind was fine: eating, drinking, bathroom, speak (barked at us when we gave him the middle finger!) but his body gave out on him. He was a great dog.
Got the first one cremated, he went out as well. We had a great time Thunder and Storm. Thanks Guys. |

So now....Millie's turn.
15 years, 3 months is a pretty damned good run for a Corgi. Three days ago: " /> Yesterday, we finally took her in for her final visit to the vet. Final car trip. Final minute sitting on the porch. She was tired. Old. Weak. Cancer, ya know? All through her. Three months ago she had a major seizure so we hustled her into the vet. Stage 4, inoperable, metastasized. Lungs, brain, bones, etc. It's quiet now here. No begging for a carrot or a green bean while I'm prepping a meal. Nobody laying at your feet. No one trying to vacuum up food particles. No barking, no begging. No skritching your own back, laying upside down on your bed, barking as you scratched your impossible to get back spot. No more defending that front door in Castle Czechsix. Quiet. Yep. She was the last of our pets. In the last two years, we've lost them all. So - Millie - Milyotschka - Millicent - Shit Trumpet - Destroyer - Millary - Silly Milly...and all the other names you went by: BZ, girl! You did an awesome job, and held up the Corgi values to perfection! See you in a bit, old girl. I'll see you in Piddler's Green, sooner than later. And now...we sing....http://www.wolfcountry.net/mp3/WOLFHOWL3.mp3 RIP - Llynhill Once In A Millenium. Thanks for the good memories! |

Had to say goodbye to another one of our cats last night. She went downhill really fast and the vet figured it was lymphoma. We got her as a stray at 4 weeks old and she was so tiny that she slept in a letter holder. No matter how small she was, she would bully her older and bigger brother around to the point that he would walk a wide arch around her if he had to pass her. Was so sad this morning because he looked for her to make sure the coast was clear in the bathroom before he would come in.
I will really miss my little orange cat. Rest well Sophie. I know you and Cody are playing together again. |
