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.

I am so sorry to hear of Butter's passing. You have my deepest sympathy. He sounds like a truely amazing member of your family who came into your life when you and your children needed him the most. Although these next days will be difficult your cherished memories of him will be sweet.
Kyoko, so sorry for your loss. This is one of the hardest things to go through, my heart goes out to you and your family.
RIP Butter!!!!
His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun;
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so very much.
