Sad News

See that black dot. It showed up on Bud-Dog's belly about the middle of August. It quickly got larger and I took Bud to the vet once I got a chance after Hurricane Katrina. The vet removed the growth and sent it off to the lab. The diagnosis - Hemangiosarcoma. A form of cancer that affects the blood vessels. Not good, not good at all.

Bud died at home, in my arms one week ago today. I miss him so very, very much. He was such a loving little lap dog - that's my chair he is laying in here, waiting for me to sit down and hold him. There is a huge hole in my life right now and I suspect it will be there for a long, long time.

I'm so sorry for your loss...
I know exactly how it is.
Your doggie sure is a cutie on the picture.
I lost my dog about 2 years ago, and I still sometimes cry thinking about her. :'(
