Sadie...Always loved, never forgotten! Run Free Beautiful.
I'm too worked up to go into detail but Sadie crossed over tonight. She lost her battle to AIHA due to secondary complications. I just wish I could have been there with her to help her cross. I love you very much my beautiful. You were too young to go but there are lots of things to do at the...

Lola
I heard that one of my favorite students from puppy class was killed in an accident, although I don't know any of the details. She was such a happy puppy and owned by two great people who couldn't have loved her more. RIP little water dog.

Around 7 this morning, the Incredible Miss Corky was having a morning chat with her daddy. He was on the computer, she in her crate in the drivers seat and they had a good mornin chat. Recently Corky has been having little "seizures" almost where she goes into a trying to flap her wings frenzy...

MASKA
Maska is gone. The definitive diagnosis was adenocarcinoma, which had already spread from his pancreas to his liver. There was nothing I could do but let him go and end the pain. I thought you might like to something about him, although these few words don't begin to cover what a wonderful dog I...

We will miss you Peaches
Yesterday we took Peaches to the vet to be put to sleep. Her kidneys had failed. Peaches was l7-l8 years old. We got her from the Humane Society when she was about 2 or 3. She was a darling, so gentle and loving. We shall miss her so much as will our other cat Duffy, who also is her age. Bye Peaches...

Run Free Suffering Dog (CoBuHe)
I am ridden with guilt. My heart is broken. My stomach hurts. Yesterday, as I was on my way to work, I glanced over to the side of the busy highway and saw a dog laying on its side, tail wagging quickly. The dog (I'm sure) was hit by a car. He obviously was injured to the point that he or she...

Run free Missy
I'm sobbing pretty much uncontrollably. But, I feel the need to talk about Missy.... and couldn't think of a better place to share. See, 5 years ago (nearly 5.5) we walked into the Shelter after losing our 3 year old Penny in a tragic accident. We looked at the dogs.... all so sad in their kennels...

Tuffy (aDork)
Long before I had Misha, my grandmother took in two strays who then had a litter of puppies before she could get them spayed and neutered. Eventually all the puppies were given away, ran away, or got killed in the road. My brother's dog, Cream, was hit by a car and lost a leg, and continued to live...

We lost a special boy today
My rescue group recently took on the capture and care of three wild/feral dogs. A few months ago, we were able to capture two of them. Willow, a 8 year old Wheaten Terrier mix, and her friend, Cedar, a 4 year old mixed breed little boy. Since we're in Florida, the obvious risk of heartworm is great...

I will miss you Patches.
You can read about Patches here: http://forum.dog.com/forums/t/107911.aspx We got word today that Patches was put to sleep yesterday. She claims the vet suggested it. We all thought she was getting a second opinion, instead she was putting him down. I am so angry and sad by all of this. I wish there...

Zeus dear boy
We lost our beloved Zeus on June 14 to a tumor on his spleen. He was 11. For a bulldog, that was his lifespan. Zeus was a bulldog rescue and we got him at age 7. He had been shuffled in 6 homes in 6 years as a military dog when the owner got shipped out. He came to us as his final home and what sweet...

Mystery dog (janobonano)
There was a story on the news last week about some fishermen pulling their anchor up, and found a tarp stuck to it. They said it had some bones and hair in it, and they dropped it back in the lake and called the police. The dive team spent days looking for this mystery tarp. Finally today they found...

Run free, my sweet princess
We made the difficult decision to let our old lady cat, Tillie, go to the bridge today. She was close to 16 years old.
