Anyone who can, please say a prayer for our sweet pug 'Spooky' who is very ill from liver cancer. He has been getting intense, multiple-day IV treatments of Vitamin C in hopes to kill cancer cells. He has lots of 'bad stuff' inside his abdomen right now, I has not eaten in 3 days. The outlook is bleak. Pet lovers, please keep him in your thoughts.

 

Thanks,

 

Hip

 

 

 

Here is praying for a speedy recovery. Get well Spooky

I don't have a dog yet seeing I'm still in college but here is a pic of my parents miniature pomeranian named Foxy. I also included my brothers dog, which is the dog I'm going to buy as soon as I'm done with school. Bailey is a English springer spaniel

Hey Hipcheck,

Consider it done. Anybody that says pets aren't a part of the family either never had pets or worse, have no soul. I lost a "family member" several years back on my birthday, and I'll tell you that not a birthday has gone by since, nor ever will, that I won't think about my pal Buzz or any of the other pets I had growing up.

 

As a youngster, my family had a dog die (had been with me since I was born). Had a kid make fun of me for crying. Few minutes later, we were both crying, but for different reasons. He was minus two teeth and had some asphalt fragments in his forehead. I know it was wrong now and obviously as an adult I know better, but that was button that should not have been pushed.

seahwk,

 

That's just the kind of post that I needed to help cheer me up.

 

Thanks to you, and everyone else for your well wishes.

I feel ya on that one seahwk.... Hipcheck you and Spooky are in my family's prayers, that includes Turkey. He whined when I told him about Spooky...maybe he heard the sadness in my voice :) , but he's thinking about you too.

I just saw the post Rob...sorry to hear about Spooky. I hope everything works out for the best for you, Spooky and Otto.

[HipCheck]

Thank you all. IT's the hardest thing I've had to ever do. There was just no other way. My boy was in such pain.

 

 

[Riuzzi]

:) Very sorry to hear that Rob. I know it's probably not much help right now, but he's in a better place now...

[pitbull808]

:) Oh gosh Rob. I'm so sorry to hear that. Be strong buddy.

 

FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND

 

You're giving me a special gift,

So sorrowfully endowed,

And through these last few cherished days,

Your courage makes me proud.

 

 

But really, love is knowing

When your best friend is in pain,

And understanding earthly acts

Will only be in vain.

 

 

So looking deep into your eyes,

Beyond, into your soul,

I see in you the magic, that will

Once more make me whole.

 

 

The strength that you possess,

Is why I look to you today,

To do this thing that must be done,

For it's the only way.

 

 

That strength is why I've followed you,

And chose you as my friend,

And why I've loved you all these years...

My partner 'til the end.

 

 

Please, understand just what this gift,

You're giving, means to me,

It gives me back the strength I've lost,

And all my dignity.

 

 

You take a stand on my behalf,

For that is what friends do.

And know that what you do is right,

For I believe it too.

 

 

So one last time, I breathe your scent,

And through your hand I feel,

The courage that's within you,

To now grant me this appeal.

 

 

Cut the leash that holds me here,

Dear friend, and let me run,

Once more a strong and steady dog,

My pain and struggle done.

 

 

And don't despair my passing,

For I won't be far away,

Forever here, within your heart,

And memory I'll stay.

 

 

I'll be there watching over you,

Your ever faithful friend,

And in your memories I'll run,

...a young dog once again.

In reference to the hairless cats:Dude that cat looks like roasted chicken! The two playing looks wild. Do they get cut up much when they play?

To Spooky & Rob...

 

Rainbow Bridge

 

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

 

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

 

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

 

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

 

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

 

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hip my heart goes out to you and I know the ordeal you went through coming to your decision. The poem above is a great thing...made me think of my pal Rusty. Thank you for posting that and I am truly sorry for you Hip.

ROb (Hipcheck),

As hard as that was to do (and trust me, I know how hard it is), you know it was the right thing. Take a little comfort in that.
