Bexter Has Lymphoma

[Traci -Bexter & Maggie]

I haven't been on DK for a while because I've been so busy with my boys & my doodles and life in general.  Bexter has been sick for about a week.  We just got the news that talks of chemotherapy  won't even be necessary.  He has such an aggressive lymphoma.  He has masses everywhere inside also, like in his stomach and chest.  I was told this was "worst case scenario."  My Bexter is 3 years old.  He is the love of my life.  He is MY baby.  All I could think of was to let everybody know; those of you who might remember us.  We have him on steroids to buy a week so we can at least enjoy him over Thanksgiving.  Then, he'll be gone.

Oh, I am so sad to read your post--and so sorry you are going through this --it is so unfair to all of you to lose him so quickly.Hugs to all of you--you are in my thoughts.

Traci, I am so very sad and sorry to hear this. I know this is heart wrenching for you. Hugs from us and cherish the remaining time that you get to spend with Bexter. People think that the hard part about having a precious dog is the feeding, grooming and vets bills but that stuff is easy, the hard part is having to say goodbye to a special love. You are in my thoughts.

Traci,
I remember you were one of the first people I messaged when I joined here on DK.
I am so very sorry to hear your pup's life is being cut short. I'm sure you've given Bexter a
wonderful life. Hugs to you and Bexter.

[BG and Gavin]

Oh Traci I am so sorry to hear about Bexter. Sending hugs and good thoughts your way as you go through this difficult time.

[Charlotte and Bo]

It's never easy to say goodbye, especially when they are so young.  I am so sorry.

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

I am so, so sorry to hear about Bexter.  Your sweet baby looks just like my Bailey.  Sending prayers for comfort your and Bexter's way.

Again, I am so sorry!

[Marcy, Apollo & Phoebe]

I am so sorry. Of course, I remember Bexter. I remember following your posts when I was considering a second doodle. You and your family are in my prayers. *hugs*

My deepest sympathy...  I cannot say more!

Hello Tracy, I am new to Doodle Kisses, but please let me give you my sincere and heartfelt sympathy for what you are going through, my previous dog (a golden retriever named Skittles) was taken from me at 10-years old due to a tumor on her heart that we never new about, she literally collapsed one day and had to put her down the same day a week before Christmas, but I must say that the fact that you "know" what is happening is even worse because you have to struggle with this emotionally until it is your time to let him go, I think we all here on this site consider every dog we had in our lives to be a "soul mate" , they are God's gift to us to help get us all through life.

God Bless, and everyone here is thinking of you!

Traci, I am thinking of you and your family.  I also lost a 4 year old dog to cancer very suddenly.  She was my and my kids companion and protector just after my divorce and losing her was so heart-breaking.  It was 20+ years ago and it feels fresh.  We are lucky to have such unconditional love even for a short time. God bless to you all.

[Robin and Libby Louise]

Heartbreaking.  Sending love and hugs to you and Bexter.  I will keep you in my thoughts.......

[Laurie, Wally & Charlotte]

I remember you and your dear Bexter. We lost our first doodle, Simon, the day after Thanksgiving nine years ago. Thanksgiving is always a tough time for me, because of that loss so many years ago. He, too, was young. I don't really know what to say, except that I can empathize and tell you how very sorry I am. It's going to be hard for Maggie, also. I'm sad -- so sad :o(
