My dog Buffy (9 1/2 years old, Samoyed) has been acting very lethargic the last few weeks, along with some nosebleeds and loss of appetite. Tuesday evening, I found out she had an inoperable brain tumor. Tonight, the veterinarian made a house call to put her to sleep. I never knew I could feel such grief; my last personal loss was my grandfather back in 1995.
This photo was taken less than an hour before she went to rest. She was on some very good painkillers her last day. I wish I could have had some.
Mike, I shared your grief in moments like this….Wow! 91/2 years with you..Great Buffy……She have had a wonderful life…….
Keep well always Mike……
God Bless!

Dear Mike, I found this tribute to pet dogs. I hope it give you comfort from your grief, if only for a moment.
When God had made the earth and sky
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees.
And when at last He’d finished
not one was quite the same.
He said, “I’ll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.”
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it’s strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said,
“Dear Lord, there’s not one left for me.”
Kindly the Father said to him
“I’ve left you to the end
I’ve turned my own name back to front
and called you dog, My friend.”
