I'm so sorry that you have experienced this loss. :hug:


We lost our gorgeous Rottie 1 year ago to bone cancer.

May your beloved furkid rest in peace.

29. Thanks for the kind words
Here is the only picture I could find on the computer:



He was a Bichon Frise. I never though I really cared for little dogs until we got him. He was great companionship, especially for Mrs. Av8rdave during all those times when I'm on the road. He was only 9 1/2 when he passed, which is pretty young for a Bichon. He developed a very aggressive form of lymphatic cancer. The only good news is that he apparently suffered no pain throughout the illness. It obviously affected his energy level, but that was about it until the very end. He was laying in my lap and I was petting him as he passed away very quietly.

I miss him already.

36. Aww.... he was such a cutie pie.
He looks so sweet. Bichons are wonderful dogs, aren't they? I hope it gives you some comfort that he was with you when he passed away, and that he didn't suffer. :cry:

:hug: to you and Mrs. Av8rdave. Thank you for sharing.

32. I know how you're feeling
We lost Daphne last night. Congestive heart failure but that doesn't make it any easier. Maybe they're playing together at the bridge.

Having recently lost a cat to cancer I can only agree with you. It takes our much-loved family away from us far too early.

43. I can sincerely sympathize with the way you are feeling
I hope that the dog didn't suffer very long. I've been through that also and it was cancer too. One of mine at least lived a good lifespan but one died so young of it, I can never get over that. Lots of hugs and comforting thoughts to you. :hug: :hug: :hug:

44. I'm so sorry, dude
I know how it feels to lose a pet you've come to love.

Time will heal the wound, and you'll always have the memories to treasure.
