A dear old friend of mine died this morning. Human. He was in hospice care with his best friends...
his wife, (a dear friend), and his two dogs.

She sent this note this morning, "...The only coherent word he said to me in his last hours was, "leash," as he pointed to the dogs' leashes. He insisted upon holding both their leashes."

(I've had a couple bottles of wine but he would think it swell ...

Here is the obituary that my husband wrote for our dog Jasper. I couldn't have said it any better. I still miss Jasper terribly.

registered as a Silver Gray Weimaraner "Pojoaque Ashley Jasper."
Jasper began training as a search dog at age 6 months, and was
certified as a mission-ready tracking dog by Mountain Canine Corps

This is more difficult to post than I thought it would be ..

My brother is having to have his girl Lucky (not a Weim) put down today .. Old age finally got the best of her .. She was a very big part of our lives, she is 11-12ish, never was sure on the age exactly, she was a stray my brother picked up from along the curbside .. She's the most gentle yet ...

I have been working at a doggy daycare since mid October. My manager and friend, Jessica, has 6 beautiful rescues. She has brought 3 death-row pits back from the brink with much love and work on her part. She also has saved 3 great danes, giving them all a loving home. The last of those three was little Zero. He was only about 12 weeks old when I began working there, and he instantly melted ...

Unfortunately having just joined I have to say Muskett went to heaven this morning to join his brother, Rifle - my Boys are back together again. Muskett was diognosed with pancreatic cancer and diabeties type 2, 2 years ago, early last year he developed cataracts so was going blind but we fought a hard battle to get him to today. He had been ill for over a week and today I knew when I woke ...

Today is a very sad day for me. My second rescue was spayed yesterday and passed away this morning. She may have only been in my life for a few weeks but will always be remembered.

Not a weim but my brother's american bulldog. Last night she lost her long battle with Skin cancer. She was 5 years old. In my whole life I have never seen or heard my big brother cry, until today. I had a sob fest of my own after hanging up with him. With the pain of loosing Jake so fresh and now hearing the pain my brother is going through, I feel like my heart ...

This is a sad day for me. This morning we lost CH Cherrystone Abalone "Folly" to liver cancer. This was quite a shock to us as she was not sick until last night. She will be greatly missed by her family and myself. She was happy to the end and wagged her tail when she saw me at the emergency vet last night.

Godspeed Folly. We will all miss you.

I know everyone knew this was coming. Jake crossed over the Rainbow bridge at 4:00 yesterday :( . We were told my animal control that he was to be euthanized. We were able to bring him to our own vet and spend some time with him before hand. Sean was holding and stroking his face and I was rubbing his back as he peacefully drifted off. As ...

My sweet, baby boy would have been 16 on 12/27/09. We made the agonizing decision to end his struggle, and put him to rest today. Uncontrollable tears are streaming down my face as I type this. I feel so alone and the pain in my heart is unlike any other. I don’t know how I am supposed to live without him, after I’ve been loving him so long? How am I supposed to live without ...
