Please pray for us.....

My old chow chow Butter's health has been declining over the summer. ( 16 & 1/2 years old) I felt like he was waiting for one of my daughters to come home from her summer job in Ohio. She came home on 8/25, and we took him to the vet. Since then, he perked back up, ate turkey and rice like a champ, went outside and was happy again. My daughter left back for college late sunday afternoon, happy to see him doing well again. Monday evening, he brought back all of his dinner, and since then, he is going back down. He woke up early this morning moaning and has been lethergic all morning. We are taking him back to see Dr. Sweeney this afternoon, but the sun may be setting. I am so sad.

He has been with us all these years and I feel like he helped me with my kids, and  protected us. They were all little kids then... He is such a strong dog, with pride and dignity.

Our thoughts are with you and Butters!

[Donna K & Quincy]

No matter how long our beloved pets have been with us, it is heartbreaking to even think about saying goodbye. You, Butter and your family are in our thoughts. There is one thing to be thankful for and that is you got to love him for a very long time, even though it is never long enough.

Kyoko, I am so sorry to hear about Butter. I feel like he is an honorary Doodle and senior Statesman of DK! We will be keeping him and your family in our prayers through this difficult time!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I am so so sorry, Koyko.  This is one of the hardest things in the world to go through.  I will be praying.

Tell Butter, I said, he has been such a great dog. A really good dog. Thank him, from me, for growing up with all the kids, teaching them how to love and respect animals, for keeping them warm, toasty, and safe at night, and playing, loving, and giving you all such joy.
If today is the day Kyoko, with tears,my heart goes out to you all. I am thinking of you.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I am so sad for you, Kyoko. I am glad that Butter perked up when your daughter was home, it will leave you all with recent and happy memories. What a lovely and long life he has had and how lucky you are to have had him all these years to see you and your family through so much.

[Rose Ann and Amante]

I am so sad. I am welting up with emotion for you. I recently lost a special friend and will always have a broken heart.  Hugs to him and all of you by the way 16 &1/2 years WOW!!!!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

This is terribly sad.  It is never easy to start saying goodbye to a faithful friend.  I guess we are very lucky that we have the possibility to end suffering and let them go gently.    Butter has been a wonderful friend and family member.   I have been through this too many times over my life and it never gets easier.  Prayers and good thoughts for you and Butter.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Oh, Kyoko, my heart is hurting for you. We are here for you with love and support.
