I had a foster that had a subluxated patella. She had the surgery, and it took several weeks before she was walking on it again. (She hopped just find though...) And months before she was without a limp. Now, over a year later, you'd never know.

I'm so sorry. He looks just like our Toonces.

I'm so very sorry.

That was such a nice tribute. I've written enough of them that I know how hard it is, and how much it aches to even write it. But it also shows how much he meant to you. Hugs...

He sounds like my Festus, who left me a year ago last January. It breaks your heart to go on living without them. They just change everything, don't they?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry.

He was simply the most beautiful dog to look at, and I know how much you loved him. I'm so sorry that he's gone from this world. Hugs...

OMG. That must have been just horrifying! I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss...

I'm so sorry for your loss...

Oh Hon...I'm so sorry. When my cat was sick and nigh unto death, I said to the vet, "She promised she would live forever..." He replied, "They lie." Why do they have to leave us? I'm so sorry...

I can't believe it's already been two years. Sigh. Linda, he was a great dog. Everything you could want a best friend to be. Just the best. I have so many pictures of him that I love to look at. Two years? Wow. So much has changed in the past two years, and somehow I can't believe any of it. So much good, so much grief. I miss you and hope that you're doing well. Life sounds like it's been good to you, and I'm so happy for you. I wish Otis were here to share it, but I have to believe that he's SOMEWHERE that we'll get to see him again and in the mean time, I hope they've all found each other and can commisserate about what strange parents they had.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sounds JUST like my Festus when I first got him in 2001. The vet actually suggested that maybe he was having mini-seizures. But we started taking him to the dog park so he could run, and either that really worked, or he just got over it over time, because after about a month, he stopped doing that, and he never started again.

I have one grey, one other dog, and three cats. That's my max. I fear a major vet bill as it is. Things can get dicey really quickly.

When I close my eyes, I can remember with all of my senses exactly how her head felt under my cheek. I know the temperature of her ears in my fingertips. I can feel her feet as I held her paws. My hands know the ridges of her ribs and the softness of her fur - indelibly etched into my mind. Impossibly soft. Her eyes so deeply brown and inquisitive. I can hear her yip to go out, or her bark that would send other dogs scurrying the other way. I remember her pushing insistently under my hand - wanting me to cease whatever stupid thing I was doing that was distracting me from my main duty - petting her. Oh, Lord. When does it stop hurting? I have a painting of her on the shelf in my bedroom. The only one of my dogs I ever had painted, for some reason. Today at the dog park I was telling Marv how when she ran, she was like a bullet. Her sole venture into lure coursing was a rousing success as she unseated the reigning champ, and won 2 out of 3 of her heats. She had so much love of life. So much soul. Oh, Lord. This is one of my favorite pictures of Angel. That's her in the lower right hand corner. Believe it or not, that's Greyson - now 17 years old. Festus is in the background. Grey is playing tug o war with a foster, Duncan. And another pic of Angel, wearing a sheep costume and laying on TOP of Sunscreen Man. This would be Angel going down the steps. But she couldn't do it in a conventional manner. No. She had to to UNDER Festus and Sunscreen Man. Here's Angel enjoying a rub from Grey (now 17.) There will never be another dog like her.

Oh, how sad. I didn't realize she was sick.

Thinking about you today and hoping you're doing okay. Hugs! Tami

I'm so sorry...

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing, but glad that he is without pain. Hugs! Tami

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Such a beautiful pup. I'm so sorry for your loss.
