plepkowski Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I posted this five years ago today. Sweet Happy, you are still in my heart and thoughts. Happy, aka "Slick's Brindle", was born on 4/14/89 and died on 10/16/01. He was 12 years 6 months and 2 days old. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the humerus of the left front leg on 3/21/01. That leg was amputated on 3/22/01. The amputation was followed by 3 chemo-therapy treatments with carboplatin. His lungs were still clear on 7/2/01, but on 9/2/01 tumors were found in his lungs and his right rear leg. No further treatment was possible. Happy was the sweetest, most courageous dog I've ever known, and I've known a lot of dogs. I trained 962 guide dogs half a century ago. I'm really going to miss him.

Guest Snowy8 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Isn't it ironic how we can remember dates such as this? And now when we think of it, we have more smiles than tears? I hope you're okay tonight & that you can think about Happy without as many tears as 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
