Fuzzy, In Loving Memory

laphelps · 11-19-2009, 06:41 AM

Fuzzy succumbed yesterday to central vestibular disease, brain cancer, lung cancer and/or cushings'. He had his last seizure Tues nite and still 12 hours later was unable to stand, eat or drink and I knew he was trying to be a dog and holding it and needed to pee (all bichons seem to walk 3 steps and then pee - at least males seem to). We took him to our wonderful vet and buried him on the Bigfoot Prairie in Wisc. with his favorite toy, the hedgehog.

He had a wonderful 14 years - my first dog - someone just wrote me that he was lucky to have us and we were lucky to have him. My husband is devastated but we're survivors and need to, well, survive.

Thanks for this board and company.

Dear Leslie,
I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Fuzzy, your first fur pal. Be comforted to know how much we all care here, and KNOW exactly the pain in your heart. Fuzzy knew how much he was loved and he loved you back and was so lucky to share 14 years with you and your husband.
Embrace the pain, and let your tears fall as they must. Remember all the good times and the moments well-lived. Fuzzy is now young and free from pain and enjoying the serenity beyond RAINBOW BRIDGE!

Our prayers go out to you at this time.

Blessings,
Joanne & Puppy shadow
