dante2zoe Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I cannot believe that I am writing this. On March 26, 2016, Goose crossed due to a nerve sheath tumor that had been diagnosed 2 weeks earlier. Only 9. We finally got our new normal about a month later. Maverick celebrated his 10th birthday without his littermate and wingman Thursday. Everything looked good and he was a happy guy. Saturday morning, he was running in the yard with Fancy and his leg broke. I am without words to do my boys justice. They were so bonded to each other and to us. Miss Fancypants and I have a whole lot of healing to do. She has never been an only before and it is not her. Hug your hounds, please. I want my boys back, but I guess Goose needed Maverick more. Quote Cindy with Miss Fancypants, Paris Bueller, Zeke, and Angus Dante (Dg's Boyd), Zoe (In a While), Brady (Devilish Effect), Goose (BG Shotgun), Maverick (BG ShoMe), Maggie (All Trades Jax), Sherman (LNB Herman Bad) and Indy (BYB whippet) forever in my heart The flame that burns the brightest, burns the fastest and leaves the biggest shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatterseaBrindl Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Oh Cindy...my heart is breaking for you, your kids and for Fancy. Only we know what a small price we pay for the love we have received from our pets. The sadness and loss, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given. Remember all the good times... Quote Nancy...Mom to Sid (Peteles Tiger), Kibo (112 Carlota Galgos) and Joshi.

Annette Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 So sorry. Both Miriam and I know how you feel. Roy works about 2 1/2 hours away and is only home on weekends. The quiet is deafening around here. Miriam does not do well as an only child either. She hasn't shown interest in cookies since we put Pogo down last week and I finally got her to eat tonight (wouldn't touch food for the last 2 days), it took scrambled eggs and homemade doggy stew. Sending hugs. Quote Annette, mom to Banjo (AJN Spider Man) & Casey (kitty), wife to Roy.
