Critter Hunting over the Rainbow Bridge
As a lot of you know by now, Rick and I made the hard decision to let Buddy go yesterday afternoon. I am tender and my face hurts as I try to write this. For those that do not know...Sunday evening, when we brought the dogs in the house with us...we noticed Buddy's rear end tremoring. Seconds later...

Rest peacefully sweet Jasmine.
In March, an all black pit bull mix puppy came into the shelter where I work. She was 4-5 months old and had two cherry eyes. She ended up going into a cage with another pitty girl who was soon adopted. Jasmine sat and waited for her perfect person to come for her. Meanwhile she was loved by the volunteers...

Goodbye Sweet Cody
My neighbor texted me a bit ago that Cody went to the Bridge this morning. I am sad but know it was time. I know he is happily sunning himself in a beautiful flower bed watching the bunnies and birds. Gently waving his plume like tail. Cody you were loved by so very many and were by far THE sweetest...

Run free, Wiley.
My sister in law's sweet Chihuahua Wiley got help crossing over the bridge this afternoon. He had rapidly advancing bone cancer. Now he is in no pain. We love you little Sir, say hi to Roscoe and Trinket for me.

Sleep Softly Sweet Brutus
Today was one of the hardest days of my life. I made the decision to send Brutus to the Bridge this morning. Monday, he was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma of the liver & spleen. He was still feeling good, so we decided to take him home until he told us that it was time. He had a good day Tuesday...

RIP Campbell 8/22/08 - 7/1/11 pics added
My friend just called and told me that he went into a cluster of seizures and they couldn't stop them. His temp was 104* and they couldn't cool him. So they had the vet come out and help him cross the bridge. He was not even 3. Run free goofy Campbell you will be missed by me and the beast. We...

Tiny Pit Bull girl.
Today Mary (an older lady who is like my mom) was walking her dogs and her lab found this poor baby pit bull washed up in the creek. She looks about four weeks old, is white with brindle patches., The dogs knew she was a fellow dog and not to play with her like they might a rabbit. It appears that someone...

For Snickdog
One of my colleagues just lost her wonderful Cocker Spaniel, Snickers. When I used to help my friend at her grooming shop, I often found him on my table, and he was my very best favorite to groom. You couldn't find a sweeter boy. I'll always have a soft spot for him for brightening up my Saturdays...

My Baby Boy Mac went to the Beach to be with his Sister Sassie and...
I can't say it any other way or I'll start to cry uncontrollably, I never thought I'd miss someone as much as I miss my baby boy. I was in the yard with him taking pictures of him on Monday and Tuesday June 7th he died from cancer. He was under doctor's care, chemo, meds, special food...

Greta : Great Goofy Dane
I spoke with my Dad a bit ago. The older of their two female Great Danes went to the Bridge this afternoon. Greta was 120 pounds of love. There wasn't a person or animal she didn't like. Her heart was gold despite a failing body. [IMG]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m109/purplecats22/Miscellaneous...

Run free Alaska and Jake
I just lost my dear girl Alaska on Sunday from IMHA. She meant so much to me and I don’t know if I had a closer bond to any of my pets as I had with her. She also helped me deal with the loss of my boy Jake who passed in February. This has been the worst year of my life because I have lost two of my...

Run free, Kaiser...
I don't even know how to type this. I just got home from letting Kaiser go. I'm not sure if he had some kind of stricture or what, but he started vomiting stool. Last night, despite being on steroids, he became completely incontinent...So I put a diaper on him and made him sleep in the dog room...

March on young Bogart over the bridge
A few days ago I posted a photo thread with pictures of dogs from the shelter that I walked with in the Memorial Day Parade. One was a very special 10 year old hound mix named Bogart. Well, I am sad to say he has crossed over the bridge. He was found in the morning in his kennel with bloat. The vet techs...

Rest In peace Boofa
I haven't been on this forum in quite a few years but having just lost our family pet on Thursday night, I knew that this is the place I could come to. Ahh Boofa. What a good boy he was. He was 14, an English bull dog mix. More mix than English bull. About 7 weeks ago he had started coughing. My...
