Legend: 3/25/96- 1/2/09
We helped Legend to pass on today. His health issues (arthritis, mainly, but also incontinence) had advanced, as had his cognitive issues. He was still very happy to see us, and enjoyed mealtimes, but in many ways, much of his former self was gone a lot of the time. He was no longer able to sit..could...

My Michelle - gone but not forgotten
I can't believe its been 2 years since my Michelle was called away to the Rainbow Bridge. Time went so quickly yet so slowly. It still hurts like it was yesterday yet seems that it was an eternity ago. An 8x10 photo of her is still on the fridge (where I placed it in November of 2006) and I still...

RIP pretty girl
As Ann posted, Dakota made her final trip to the vet yesterday. I don't even know what to say really. I does not feel real yet. She has been with me since my sophmore year in college. I will never forget picking her out of the litter. Her breeder sled raced Sibes and had an entire back yard kennel...

To Gracie and All Other Heart Dogs We Have Lost

Do you really believe in The Rainbow Bridge?
This is the question I've been asking myself for the last 5 days since my Mickey passed away. I've search the internet through no end, asked friends and family about it...and most just answered me "it's just a theory". As disappointed as I could be, I however didn't give up...

R.I.P. Tango
Today I had to make the decison to have Tango put to sleep. He had arthritis and it got to the point where he couldn't walk or move anymore. He was 11 1/2 years old and was the best dog i've had in a long time. Here's some pics. My favorite pic of him. [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com...

Dear Toby
I saw Toby nearly 6 years ago when his picture was posted on the DRU website. He didn't have a description at the time, but boy was he a handsome dog! The kind of face you'd want to smooch and squish and love all over. Later his "biography" description was posted - a former street brawler...

Bye Bye Abbie girl
Everyone at work knows that I am a nut about dogs. I chat with everyone about their dogs, including an older guy who left here to work elsewhere a few months ago. Today he came to visit me and to let me know that he had to let his sweet Abbie go yesterday. She was an 11 year old collie and has had quite...
