Sirocco_Nikki

I am sorry for your loss. Please be patient with yourself. You need to grieve and work through all the conlicting emotions and thoughts bombarding you right now. It's not a quick, easy or painless process. However, you do not need to go through it alone. Too many of us know exactly how it feels to lose our pets/sanity life lines/buddies. We will be with you through it all.

Hugs and prayers being continued for your girl.

Is she getting anything for her upset tummy? No advice but lots of hugs and tummy soothing thoughts for your girl.

I am glad Miss Skittle Diddle Knick Knack's upset tummy will feel better soon. $4000 - $7000 for surgery to repair her cruciate? Ouch!!!!! Any chance there are other more reasonably priced options? Accupunture, hydrotherapy, anything? Hugs and scritches for your fruitbat. A triple scoop chocolate ice cream cone with your grandkids for you.

Godspeed Lexie.

I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you soon find peace and comfort in your memories of Charm.

Run fast and free Dennis and Zinger.

Relax and deep breath. Sirocco also has pannus in both eyes. He gets prednisolone and cyclosporine twice a day and that controls it very well. (His opthamologist said that Sirocco's pannus was more stubborn than most cases in greyhounds - more like a german shephard's.) Some people have questioned if he has cataracts since he also has some haziness to the eye in addition to the redness. While pannus is not curable, it is extremely treatable. As a side bonus, the meds are not that expensive either. I pay more for collars and treats in a year than I do for his drops. My only advice is: 1) See an opthamologist if there is any possibility of pannus and; 2) Follow the treatment plan religiously since untreated pannus can lead to blindness.

Sending lots of prayers and hugs.

Continued hugs and prayers for peace and comfort.

Hugs and prayers. We lost our lab blend, Chester, to OS of the jaw 7 years ago. I have never regretted that we did not try radiation or chemo and surgery was not an option. Instead, he received pain medicines, hugs, kisses, and all the scritches he could handle. What I remember most about that time was fear: fear that we would wait too long; fear we would say good bye too soon; fear that he would suffer; fear that he would pass when we weren't home; and fear that the fear would never end. 7 years later, I still think of my handsome dude often but always with a smile.

Dogs as good as Miss Nellie don't shirk their responsibilities to their families just because their physical bodies have left this earth.

Many prayers for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Your Kona sounds a lot like my bridge boy, Chester. I think Chester was the best boy to ever set paw upon this earth. What dogs like Kona and Chester lacked in breeding and puppy care, they more than made up for in love, loyalty and laughs. They are the true designer dogs: designed by God to be perfect.

Run fast and free Honey. Please send your family a very good sign that you are ok.

I am glad he's home and doing well. What a little cutie-patooty!!!!! Let us know when his surgery is scheduled so we can start some serious prayer, healing thoughts and good wishes.

More hugs and prayers.

Lots of prayers being said for Snickers.

It hurts like the devil to lose them so quickly and it hurts like hades to watch them linger. I hope he sends you a sign soon from the bridge that he is ok, and you will be too. I lost my chester 7 years ago and polly 6 years ago. I still miss them a lot but now I always smile when I think of them.

Gentle hugs and lots of prayers for lots of happy pain-free days with cocktail.

Sending hugs and prayers.

Beautiful tribute for a beautiful little girl. Run fast and free Tootie.

Run free little sweetie.

Run fast and free Bonnie. Please send your mama a sign REALLY soon that you are ok and she will be too. (Make it a REALLY good one too!)
