Greg - She had kind eyes. Very sorry. They really become a part of the family. We lost our lab, Cubby, this summer. She helped raise my boys and watched out for them. She was my "helper" at the Pavillions. We are better people for having them in our lives. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Sorry to hear that Greg,she had a great run. I am half yugoslav that's their origin- my first dog was a Dal.

It's one of life's cruel tests that they don't live as long as people.

That is exactly how our vet described the loss. So true. She will be missed for sure.

Re: A real shame
 

So sorry to hear about your loss. It's so hard when you have a dog for so long and you have to make that decision.

I admire your vet for coming to the house so your friend could leave this earth in the place she felt the most loved in.

When our Basenji, Blarney died of a brain tumor at age 9 he passed away in his favorite spot, (lieing against the heat vent in the living room.) The brain tumor had rendered him blind and paralyzed and we asked multiple vets if they would come to our house to put him to sleep but they all refused. We just didn't have the heart to drag him out to a cold vets office.

He ended up passing away on his own, on St. Patricks Day 2001, while my wife was sitting at the piano, right next to him, talking on the phone with her mom. So he left this earth hearing the voices he loved so much.

His best friend dog, Patty died 2 years later on the exact same day: St. Patricks Day.

For years whenever the heat would come on we would still the drapes move and we could swear we could see his shape behind the drapes.

When we got another Basenji after Blarney passed, that dog immediately picked that same heater vent as his favorite spot too. So I guess that was a sign that he left some good Karma (or Dogma?) there.

So sorry for your loss. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Greg I know your pain I lost my Dalmatian, three years ago your picture bring it all back It Felt like some one just riped my heart out had him as a puppy he was 13 years old
The night before he keept me up all night every time he had to go out to piee he whould lift his leg next to a tree for 5 or more Minutes but noting would come out went to the vet the next day and they thought it was kideny stones but it ended up he had canser it ended up he died in my arms
It took some time to get over the pain and sometimes it still hurts and to this day I still blame myself was there something that I missed weeks before that could have saved him
dogs are like our kidds they are part of the family

Re: A real shame
 

There is nothing like the warmth and compassion a dog shares with his family. We have a Westy and consider him a part of the family. My sincere condolences!
