Sad Event

[spicedogs]

Today, while in Omaha, I had to say good-bye to my dog Zack Curry. He was diagnosed with cancer of the spleen. I left the house with a healthy dog, only to get a phone call from my husband at about 5 pm that Zack was listless and not eating. (This dog was always hungry.) Hubby took him to the vet. Diagnosis: untreatable cancer. He was euthanized because he was in dire pain.

Hug your pets today.

Oh, I'm SO SORRY.

Massive hugs!

Tahnk you. It was hard to thank everybody right away. He really made a deep hole in my heart.

They do that - which is a tribute to them. It's so hard, but it doesn't stop us from continuing our dog love.

No, it doesn't. We continue on loving them. We are now down to 2 bassets and one wannabe. We will stay at this number for a while. But you never know what the future will bring. There may be a very needy one out there whom nobody wants. Well, the foolish people that we are, we will open our doors and heart once again.

Yup, that's us, all over.

I don't think we can do it for a while yet - 4 is plenty, really. I'm avoiding rescue boards and such. No temptation!

I saw a woman who's rescued 8 doxies recently. My idea of heaven!
