(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My black lab is 15 now, she has liver cancer and I fear everyday I'm gonna come home to the worst. Somehow no matter how much bigger the tumor gets she just keeps on plugging along. I know it's soon though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Gonna hurt bad

Oh, Rob... I'm so sorry to hear about Lucky. He surely was a celebrated member of your family. I don't know what to say... your recount has touched me very deeply. I have two beagles of my own, and really love doxies as well. Seanery also lost Brembo just the other day. It's a sad time.. Brian and I will keep your family and Lucky in our prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words.... I'm still crying, but no tears are forming now... I just wish that we could had more of a notice that he was this sick... He loved to swim and with the warm weather it's the perfect time of the year for us to play in the pool... BTW, he was 12 and we've had him since he was 7 weeks old... My father-in-law lost his doxie last year, he was 22 years old....

My wife has it the hardest. She works from home and we have at least 200 ceramic doxies through out the house. And since Lucky was our oldest, his pictures are everywhere, it's even the photo on her cell phone...

We'll get through this, and I know that time will heal, but it's been really difficult. Right now, it's only been 23 hours since his death.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I normally don't post personal stuff but this has really helped deal with the loss...

Dogs are such wonderful creatures. They give their all to us and ask only that we love them back. Take comfort in knowing that his last hours were spent doing what he loved to do with those he loved to be with.

Rob,
Sorry to hear of your loss. I know what you are going thru. I lost two kitties last year to old age and illness and two weeks ago had to put down my 14 year old sheppard. Probably the hardest year I have ever had. Still gets me from time to time. Many wonderful memories of these special family members.

Yup, its gonna be hard for a bit. I've lost two Australian Shepherds over the last 7 years or so. Both well before their time. Both outstanding and unique personalities. One, I had the opportunity to kind of say good bye as she got real sick real fast, but I at least had a couple days. Cost me several thousand dollars for those couple days, but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. The second was such a shock...he was shot by someone who we think was trying to steal my 914 (which didn't even have an engine in it at the time...). I still can't say I've made my peace with that one. Miss them both dearly. We went a while without a dog, but the wife eventually talked me into another.

Collect up the photos (and if any of you reading this have a dog currently, make sure to get them in pictures while you can). Those memories you can cherish forever, but the photos make them easier to remember and celebrate with others.

Absolutely about the pictures. My wife has at least (3) photo albums full... I've finally stopped constantly crying and I'm dealing with the loss of my best friend. I'm in the phase of working hard to remember him, but the pictures really reaffirm his memories. We're working and spending an extra amount of time with our other dog, Dusty, also a doxie. He was Lucky's posse, so I'm trying to fill the leader/mentor position... He definately has a more laid back personality, but still a very special, loving dog... And I have several pictures on my cloth-covered cube at work, with no expectation of taking them down...

Thanks again everyone for your support... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Absolutely terrible... I feel for ya.

We almost lost our Cocker this year when she got pnemonia (sp) after our doxie came home with kennel cough. I was in tears just thinking it was going to happen.

It was just six years ago that I had to put my other Cocker down and I don't think I could go through that again this soon.

Grieve well my friend and remember the good times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif)

Well, today is the one week anniversary of Lucky's passing. The week has been difficult but everyone has been so understanding and again I'd like to thank everyone on this board for their positive comments....

This is a bitter sweet posting, because it's my 1955, which is the year I was born...

Lucky will continue to be missed by his immediate family, but we will survive and move on with life....

Lucky sounds like an appropriate name; it's evident that he was well and truly loved.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) rob, my thoughts and prayers go out to your wife and you. I know how hard it is to lose a four legged member of the family. lost my boxer after 13 years when i was younger. she was even hit by a car and survived without a scratch.
So now I am burdened with the choice of whether to get a dog for my five year old daughter or not. the wife is not an animal lover...
its not the same but you'll always have the memories.

I too am sorry my friend. I have two siberian's and they depend on each other as well as us. I hope your other dog is doing well too. I am seriously thinking about a 3d dog for just that reason as we all know that pets are a series of mini tragedies (to quote George Carlin)

It is painful I know (as I have lost many pets in 36yrs) but they are worth it for all that unconditional love and companionship.
