Bill419 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Richy aka DON L RICHY RICH left us last night. We found a tumor on his leg in Jan and he has been on pain meds and anti-inflammatory ever since. Yesterday afternoon we came home from being out all afternoon and went to let all of the dogs (6) out in the backyard to potty. One of them bumped Richy and he started to cry in pain. We eventually calmed him down and gave him more pain meds. He lied down but whenever he tried to lift his head he cried out in pain. We called the vet and he came to our house last night to end Richy's pain. We adopted Richy 05/21/2006 (9 years). Richy won the twins contest at Mountainhounds in 2008 and he was the "Hound Hero" in CG magazine in either the summer or fall 2008. We going to miss our big boy.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
