From the UK I'll be thinking of you all at your Gramma's service and sending loving thoughts. Please tell me, are dogs allowed at funeral services. They are in most cases here at the permission of the Minister?

very sorry to hear of your loss. Run free Aries

Anita, You should post this as a new thread under "Lost and Found".

Thinking of you at this time.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my 10 yrs old Boy to Lung Cancer a month ago. I know the pain that comes with our little buddies passing on:(

To add, we have signs on all of our doors that lead outside and inside that are bright yellow with the silhouette of a basenji and say "Don't Let The Dog Out". This way, when anyone comes in or out, they are reminded. The signs go around the door handle, and if I remember correctly, were only a couple of bucks each.

Thanks for the kind words, but I am not sad at all for my loss. I remember the wonderful times that I had with her and how lucky I was to have her in my life. :) As much as Pepper is a challenge, I probably will be saying the same about her when she finally goes (if I don't send her into the afterlife myself, that is). :)

We did this last year with Mojo, our beloved Catahoula. Mojo had cancer near the end of his "poop canal". We waited and let him have his good days and some bad days. He still loved to walk slowly and enjoyed his food. But in the end the bad days overcame the good days. We decided to have our vet come to the house, on Valentines Day no less. We had Mojo on an old moving blanket. He went peacefully with both of us near. The heavy blanket was a good idea as we had to carry him (around 90 pounds) to the vet's car. Awfully emotional but we were glad we did it this way. I think its better for the dog and its easier not being in the middle of a busy vet office at the end when you are emotionally wrecked. WE MISS YOU MOJO!

I'm sorry for your loss but take heart hat he is now running free. The greatest kindness is to alleviate their pain at the last.

I don't see that the sire and dam were DNA tested for Fanconi? Were the pups tested? There is Fanconi in the pedigree of both the sire and dam.

Wow, I just viewed the coyote roller, thanks Ivoss, that is good info! Thanks to all who have extended your condolences. And mine go out to any and all who have had their 'furbaby' travel the Rainbow Bridge. We all do miss them, this I know….:( Buddy's Pal

Mostly smoke damage from what I've been able to gather. I think the dogs were the greatest loss. They were loved family members. And thanks, again, everyone, for your kind words and thoughts.

So sorry about your loss. They come into our hearts and we love them so much hard to ever say goodbye. I just know as long as they our in our hearts they are with us forever. Topper have fun with all the other B's. Rita Jean

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Run free and happy Blaze. (((Hugs)))

I am so sorry to hear that. At least, as you said, they can keep each other company up there in heaven until you make your journey (hopefully that will be a LONG time) :) At least you have the other dogs to keep you company while Sterling keeps gramma company :)

Thank you … kindly !

Our condolences. Tell us some of the stories some time – even if the web can't hold them all :-)

So sorry to hear this Lauren. Prayers to you for your loss of a beloved friend. Dawn
