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.

I understand. You needed time. Anyone would after losing a loved pet. They're almost like a member of the family. (To most, they are a member of the family)

I'm still really sorry for your loss. I cried like a baby when I read this. (I'm tearing up now) But I couldn't come back to your page for a while after reading this. It just breaks my heart.

Aw, that is so sweet of you.

My pets are equivalent to my children. When Ethan was 3, I acquired our first basset (Ginger). Ethan started showing signs of allergies. The doctor told me to get rid of the dog. I asked him if he knew of any adoption agencies that would take my son. He looked at me in shock that I would even think in those terms. I told him that that was exactly how I felt when he told me to get rid of my dog. There was no choice, they both would stay. Ethan started having allergy shots.
