It makes me sad to think both your babies are struggling. Enjoy your pups, they know how much they are loved.

I started feeding my golden a home made diet developed by a noted veterinary oncologist just after Logan was diagnosed with cancer. That was 20 months ago. He will be competing in an agility trial on Saturday. If you are interested, PM me and I will share the recipe with you. Of course, ask your vets if they think it is beneficial.
I have also contacted a canine nutritionist who develops balanced diets for dogs with all sorts of medical conditions, including kidney disease. She will develop and fine tune a recipe for your dog's unique condition and coordinate with your vet. All diets are balanced according to canine nutritional guidelines.

Very difficult time....

This past Thursday we had to make the decision to let Clancy go.

He was 13 years old and for a Lab that seems to be a long life, but for us it was not nearly enough. In the end he was unable to walk very far and it upset him greatly - to think that I would almost toss my arm out to wear him down chasing the ball. We started out with tennis balls but that became a joke for him to snap those in half. Not being able to walk was such a cruel thing but there were too many other issues and his Vet came by the house to do the right thing. It's never easy.

For the past 6 years we have lived in a house with a pond, high weeds along the edge and 4 acres to run, I can still hear him charging down to flush the ducks - the ducks still stay at the edge in fear of the 90 pounds of muscle that could be there in a flash. The neighbors all have duck squat on the back porch but not us. Wonder how long that will last.

Quality of life is the main thing, and I'm glad that it is important to you that your kids be comfortable and happy for their time with you. Cherish them and make memories. My thoughts are with you.

Very sorry to hear about Clancy. It sounds like he had a great life. A duck pond and 4 acres, what more could a lab want?! Remember him happy and flushing ducks. The end always comes too soon.

Sorry to hear about Clancy. Sounds like he was a loved and adored family pet. We lost our beloved Gus at 13 several years ago, cried like babies for days. We think and speak of him often, and feel sure his spirit is with us on our trips. Have you ever seen the poem "The Rainbow Bridge"? Our vet sent it to us after Gus was put to sleep. If you haven't, I'll post it. Take care.

1 moth ago we adopted a 1 1/5 year old french mastif.
We know the breed we already have a now 5 year old one.
The poor animal was the victom from a divorse ( that was told to us)
The poor thing was verry scared, on the slightest toughs he got scared.
Onley after some time he could relax.
Just over one week ago My wife just put her hand om him to pet him.
He got scared and bit her in her face.
My wife needen some stitches .
We had to put our new dog ( Hootch ) to sleep.
On the 13th of june he went over the rainbow bridge with his head in my arms.
It feels so bad to play for god and put a healty amimal to sleep.
It was not his faulth but onelt the PO is to blame, what have they done to this animal to make him like this.

We are sorry to hear the bad news Mike & Remcolent. Just remember the good times and travels you were able to share together and hold them in your heart. I am sure they are guarding over you and thankful for all you have done for them.

Much love from Loren and the furbabies (Zora, Vega, & the furkitties)
