HopeForHounds Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) With my heart in pieces I share the news that our Itty Bitty Peanuttiest is gone. We were planning to take our girl to OSU for a consult on Friday, but she had other plans. Peanut was in liver failure. She had the most gentle passing I've seen. For those of you who don't know her story, I preadopted her in 2005 after seeing many, many pictures of her in Mama Caffie's or Daddy Bill's arms. It was this picture that I kept going back to over and over again before I finally sent Cathie an email asking if they were keeping her? In 2006 I went Jacksonville to see my girl, Peanut was 10 months old at the time. I was so excited, she was not. She did allow some kisses and played with the stuffie I brought her, until her brother Frankie stole it. Then the two of them played a game, I would throw, Peanut would catch and bury it then Frankie would dig it up and steal it. The following year I got the email every Follow That Hound Preadopter waits for - "Are You Sitting Down?" My girl was coming home! My friend Laura and I already had plans to go to Sandy Paws with a week following in Jacksonville Beach. We picked Peanut up the day before we left to come home. That trip bonded us completely. She loved the snow, loved to play rough, loved her babies, loved her big sister Foxy. We loved her! Peanut brought so many people into our lives. I will be forever grateful for our FTH family, the WFUBCC, Peanut's boyfriend George, and the many, many friends Peanut attracted like a magnet. For Peanut's littermate's families, Judy & Mike, Michelle, Janice, Wendy and John, I know how hard it must have been waiting for updates and seeing the final news. Please keep Mama Caffie and Daddy Bill in your thoughts too, they feel the loss of each of their babies. As sad as I am, I'd like this to be a Happy Memory Thread. Those of you who knew her, you have your own memories, please share them here (with pictures too please). As she left me yesterday, this is what I told her "go my little one, we love you and you will be in our hearts forever. Fly baby girl fly! When you arrive on the other side Foxy will find you, she always knew where you were. Look for a big, black, goofy boy. He will recognize you since you look so much like your brothers. Some of my favourite memories. I am so glad that Peanut made the trip to Sandy Paws to pick up Grandy last March. She got to see her Mama Caffie and Daddy Bill again. Plus, of course, she made a whole new group of new friends.

MP_the4pack Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Janet, when I saw your post in H&M my stomach bottomed out. She had the same symptoms as my Topaz, down to the age. While I told you about doing a liver function test, I didn't want to tell you that I lost Topaz just 4 weeks after diagnosis. I was so hoping that this was different. I remember celebrating it wasn't cancer, and all the happy emoticon people showered upon me. The doctors were even telling me that with meds and diet she would get 6 months to a year. Four days after the last time I heard the vet tell me this, she was gone. I'm so very sorry that this hit your wonderful little Peanut. She looks to have had such a bright vibrant personality.

TheFullHouse Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Since I've already expressed to you the feelings I've had at the loss of Peanut. I'm going to post the pictures that always come to me when I hear her name. I had always hoped to see her once more but she will always be with us and the other Baby's babies mom's and dad's through our babies. With that said, here are just a few of my favorite pictures of Peanut. You can see through these pictures what an awesome girl she was. Peanut mid air. Stalking Bullitt Beautiful Peanut Climbing up on Sammie so she can see better. Peanut & Bullitt Always and forever in our memories and in our heart pretty girl.
