| My labrador, Eightball, died 5 years ago. He was shot and killed in the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon by a Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer. He was shot because he was barking at the man and the man got scared.

I have had 3 beagles pretty much my whole life. Buddy-13,(The Fater)
Precious-9 (the Mother) (she passed away yesterday) and Ruffus (6)(the son) who passed away in April. Ruffus had heart worms and just didn't have it in him to make it through the treatment. After his first treatment, he passed. It was one of the saddest days of my life. I recently moved away from home and I got a call from my mother telling me my Precious was dead. She had an enlarged heart and lungs due to emphysema. I was so devestated. But, I've recently realized that the only thing that matters is if you give them the best life possible, as long as they felt loved and knew they were part of the family, they did not die in vein.  RIP my loves...
 My Precious Angel  My Ruffus My Buddy, who is still alive and will be for many more years if I have anything to do with it. Hims will be 14 in November.

| The dog who I remember best from my youth, Cuddles (a cock-a-poo), was shot by my dad because she kept getting so sick. I did not know this for a very long time, my sister and I were told that she was given to a family in the country who had kids where she would not be getting sick. My dog Poncho (a beagle/pekinese mix) was my buddy. He was a gift from my sister for Christmas in 1982 after I had started my first teaching job. I had to put him down in 1999 due to what was believed to be canine dementia, hearing and sight loss and arthritits. I still miss him, but my present dog, Schnitzel (a miniature long-haired dachshund) is my absolute love.

 Jake was a blue merle Great Dane who had just turned 4 years old. On Xmas eve 06 he suddenly became ill. I called the vet and spoke to them, at the time he suddenly stopped eating, and became really listless. They told me to watch him and bring him in the day after Christmas. When I took him in he still wouldn't eat, was unsteady, and seemed disorentated. They kept him to run tests on him, to make a long story short he passed away early on the 28th just as the test results, which could have saved him, arrived. He had died from an Addison's Crisis..I never knew that Dane's could have addisons. Jake was a really special giant dog...he loved everyone...he was goofy, funny, loving and handsome. He was just like one of my children, he left a giant sized hole in my heart. I miss him dearly still...It will be two years this Christmas that he went to the bridge. It seems like only yesterday that his big ole happy face was lookin up at me...but yet it seems like forever since Ive seen him...He will live forever in my heart... RIP Handsome

Jake was beautiful. And yes, Great Danes are actually more susceptible to the disease than most. I'm sorry for all your losses.
As long as you can teach me, I am willing to learn. -Myself

| We had the most wonderful yellow lab named Sadie Mae. She was 4 years old and well behaved. She loved her ball, frisbee and followed my husband all over the place. She was his constant companion day and night. When he mowed our 3 acreas she would follow the whole time behind him. We loved her so much. She would go with me as I took care of my Dad who was dying of cancer. She would go up to him and just set her head in his lap. It made my heart cry. She would stay in the house while we are at work and one Thursday I came home...she was different. Usually she would have a toy in her mouth and so excited to see us. She came out with out a toy and just stood there. I knew something was wrong so I called the vet but of course it was too close to closing time so I was told to take her the emergency vet. So we loaded her up and took her there. They gave her fluids and couldn't find anything wrong. That night I was awake all night as she was up and down. My hubby took her to our vet and left her there for the day. They took blood, xrays and we had to wait for the next day for the blood test results. Well to say the least...she died that next morning in my husbands arms. We were devastated!! The results showed a high white blood cell count but we still don't know why she died. At least she's not suffering anymore as that was killing me. We have a new dog now named Mocha and just adopted another yellow lab. Never again will we have a dog like Sadie Mae but I thank God we had her in our lives.

My labrador retriever cross died from old/age and from large benign tumors that blocked blood flow from important aspects of the body, and because he was older the vet thought he wouldn't have made it through surgery to have the tumors removed. May Peanut rest in peace.
