It Has Been 10 Years
It is so hard to be believe but it was 10 years ago today, Oct. 16, 2003 that my precious Hunter was lost to AIHA and liver damage caused by his ProHeart6 injection. He was only 4 years, 2 months old. He fought hard for 8 days in ICU, but couldn't beat them both. When the biopsy report came back...

Run Free Sweet Shadow
On Thursday, August 22nd, Shadow joined Thor, Sheba and Tyler at the Rainbow Bridge. Shadow acted like his normal, goofy self. He was eating well, eliminating just fine, and always up for a jaunt. That morning he declined breakfast which is totally not Shadow. When I stopped home around 12:30 I bumped...

A tribute to a dog lover 08-22-13
I met this lady on a Newf mix rescue group. She was very active in rescue. She was noted to be a incredibly good person in general. I dont know much about her passing but I do know she will be over the bridge running thru the meadows with all our furr babies. http://carboncountynews.com/content/susan...

Brown, 1999-May 18, 2013
I'm so, so sad to say this, but this morning, we had to bring Brown to the vet to have him euthanized. Yesterday, any time we tried helping him up, he lost control of his bladder. It happened so fast. I watched him throughout the night, and he never let us get him out of his bed. He started to pant...

Abe passed away on Saturday night.
We took Abe in last Tuesday because he was refusing to eat. He had been kind of picky lately and having diarrehea. We had added the pumpkin to his food as suggested by several people here and that helping his bowel movements firm up. Once they sent the blood work off to A&M we received news of pancreatitis...

Lost my Miss Avery cat
I'm right there now along with others of you who have recently lost a pet. I let my sweet Miss Avery cat go today. I'll so miss her laying next to me and reaching her little paw up and gently touching my face, wanting a pet from me. If I'd ignore it, the next time it would be just a bit harder...

Blaze has gone to the Bridge

Saying farewell to my sweet Java baby
My protector of 16 years... I went out for half an hour yesterday and came home to find her bleeding from her nose and mouth. Rushed her to the Vet where the prognosis did not appear to be good, so we helped her cross the Bridge to be with Winnie, Biscotti and her Dad. She had several other issues going...

Georgia's Summer Breeze
It will be 5 months on December 30, since I kissed that soft little doggy tummy goodbye. Georgia's Summer Breeze went to the Rainbow Bridge on July 30, 2012. She had IMHA. She put up a brave fight for nearly two years. Because of the immuno-suppressant drugs, she contracted Aspergillosis which...
