Re: OT : My sadness

Aww. I am so sorry. Seems like too many beloved pets are going to the rainbow bridge of late.

Shadow chose us 5 years ago when we visited a rescue centre. We had always had small dogs before and had never thought of owning a lurcher. But he did us a favour choosing us and allowing us to be his family. He had a wonderful temperament and was a delight to have in our home. He had slowed up but, 3 months ago, after a spell with an upset stomach we took him to see the vet. She gave him a couple of antibiotic injections and he was our old Shadow again. We were so pleased. Our daughter visited on Friday and exclaimed at his weight loss. He had gone off his food so back to the vets he went. She had him in as surgery was necessary. When she opened him up he was found to be full of a particularly invasive cancer, so he was not allowed to come round. Of course we had no idea he was so very ill.
But what a shock it was to us. We adored that dog. He is buried under his tree so he can still keep an eye out for the squirrels! He's like Maude. He hated them.
