tomos, thank you for giving me nightmares  I thought he was kindof cute with a trunk  A mammoth mistake if you ask me! As you can see, we're busily training both pups to hover. This one's a bit low on the front end, so we've instigated additional ear-flapping exercises to develop increased lift.  Next month, walking on water. |

My wife and I have rescued over a dozen animals in the past ten years. Many times, after unsuccessfully locating an owner, they become a part of the family. Here are the two we have at the moment.   |

I keep forgetting this thread, but I just found the wife's cell phone backup which has some pictures in it. So... Here's Riggs (on the left) and Max:  And Here's Molly (She's a rescue) by our pool:  Molly was only supposed to be visiting for a weekend, but she curled up in my lap that Saturday morning ... and never left. To be honest, I caved in less than 20 minutes. |

I only found this thread today, and I hope my comment here is not inappropriate, but I would like to share: This is my little dog, Max. We got him about a year ago from a local shelter. He'd been kept alone in a car port, after being given up during a messy divorce. When he was rescued he was a mess - severe ear infections, abscessed teeth, fur falling out and on the verge of giving up. The good people at http://fureverafter.net/ got him back on his feet and I was lucky enough to adopt him in November last year. (You can read his and many other inspirational stories on the site). He was a terrific dog in every way - calm, playful, affectionate and wonderful company. I work at home most of the time and he would either play or snooze behind my chair the whole time. He even quickly learned that if the phone rings, it's time to sit quietly until I'm done (see picture below, snapped on my iphone just after a call). He certainly made his way into our hearts with his antics, doggedness (sorry) and all-around lovely temprament. Unfortunately, just recently he was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive cancer behind his left eye. We were told that treatment was out of the question and despite a no-expense-spared dash to the best experts we could find in Vancouver, all that could be done for him was palliative care. After being given only a few weeks to live, our little dog lost his fight this morning. It's going to be a lonely Christmas.  So long old pal. |

he looks so cute and full of personality. i am so sorry for your loss.. just looking at him makes me miss him and i never met him.
the most important thing you need to remember is how happy you must have made him -- especially considering his prior life before you, you made his life worth while and just being there for him meant the world to him i'm sure. what more could a dog ask for.

Thank you very much. I sure hope I did a good job and gave him a happy year. I shall miss the little guy very badly. It leaves you wondering how one small animal can be so damned unlucky  |

When my friend was constructing his house here, the workers adopted a drifter dog (female) that since then guarded the place. When I fixed the electricity in this house, I also was endeared to this sweet girl. Two months ago she even produced offspring (5 puppies) and all seemed to be going well for her. She was even nurturing 3 puppies from another dog here in the neighborhood.
But then a disease struck her, I forgot the name, but it was lethal and transferable to humans. My friend has four kids running around the house, so it was quickly decided that she would enter the eternal sleep at the vet and soon. I understand that they did this yesterday.
It is indeed wonderful how dogs can capture your heart and become your friend. Losing them leaves an empty space in heart and mind. Luckily there is her offspring as legacy which I hope turns out as wonderful, gentle and caring as she was.
@timns:
Not only do I understand you, I sympathize with you as well. Dogs live in the here and now...and in the picture he looked happy.

@timns:
I am very very sorry for your loss, he did look very happy which shows you obviously took excellent care of him and loved him very very much.
My deepest condolances to you and everyone who loved him.

timns - I'd like to echo what mouser said: what a fortunate dog to have found you; I am sure that he was very happy in his year with you.
I lost a dog to cancer myself a few years back and it was very hard. My sympathies.
