Lucy was our great pal. She was almost 18 years old and was the only dog to have her picture in OGR magazine. She was a great fan of the magazine. It happened very quickly late last night. Our vet met us at the clinic and did everything he could. We will miss her dearly. Don

I'm very sorry to hear this.

Non-dog (or cat) people don't understand what a crushing blow this can be, even when it's a pooch as old as Lucy. It's like losing a member of the family because, that's exactly what it is.

You have the thoughts and prayers of everyone in my home, including my 4-legged son Charlie, in your time of loss.

I am very sorry for your loss.  

 

My wife and I are going to be adopting a 2 year old Pitbull mix diagnosed with Lymphoma and has what the vet estimates as only 1, maybe 2 years left.  We just want to give him a good, loving life of whatever he has left.  This day will come for us too, but obviously not after 18 years.

 

Our thoughts are with you

Don,

 

Having been in your place a few times in the past, I know the feeling and it is never easy. These crazy animals work their way into our hearts making it very hard to say goodbye. Cherish the memories and find comfort in knowing that Lucy had a good home for 18 years and did not suffer long at the end. You gave her a wonderful life.

The loss of a beloved pet always hits home.

This evening my wife and I will be taking our Airedale Rainbow to the vet for an exam and stayover.  Tomorrow morning she will have the equivilant of a doggie ACL surgery.

We experienced this with our previous Airedale.

Next week 2 of my company's therapy dogs will be having surgery.  One of them may lose a leg over this infection.

We all worry about our pets,cats or dogs.  They are such an integral part of our families.  We all suffer and grieve when we lose one or if a friend experiences a loss .

We are saddened by your loss of your beloved pet.

Norm
