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.

 

Up date

Butter crossed the rainbow bridge @ 3:07 at home in the arms of my son.

I'm so sorry.

 

My family dog is 18.5 and still living with my parents - she has been our dog since I was 9 years old... I don't remember a time when she wasn't a part of the family. 

 

I'm sure Butter is wagging from wherever he is, thankful for the years he spent with you.  I'm glad you had some nice times with him and your daughter before he passed.

I'm so sorry about Butter- it must be so sad to see him suffer.  I remember our childhood collie who fell ill while our family was on vacation.  My grandmother stayed with him and kept taking him to the vet but nothing seemed to help him.  He lived until we returned home and though too ill to play licked and snuggled with us all evening.  He passed away that night... I think he waited to make sure his family was safe.  He too was an amazing dog and will always be my in my heart.

I'm so sad for you, this is tougher than I can ever imagine. You have been blessed to have him in your life and I know it's never long enough. Our prayers are with you!

[Camilla and Darwin]

I'm so sorry to hear he isn't doing well. I'm thinking of you and Butter...

[ClarkP]

Oh Kyoko,

I'm so sorry.  We went through this with Cass last spring.  It's so tough to do.  But just know that you are doing the right thing.  Remember all the wonderful years and let him go peacefully.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.  (I tear up even now thinking of our dear departed dogs - what a joy they were!)

So sorry for your loss. You are blessed to be there with him at that time. Thinking of you and your family.

[Kyoko]

I cannot begin to thank you all for your support. All of my children quickly got home to grief together. We gather around him, each one of us said something about him, burned special Japanese incent for him, we got him a king's crown.

Charlie does not seem to have a clue to what happened to him.

We are going to celebrate his beautiful long life.....

 

I thank you so much DK friends..... It really meant a lot for us.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

It is amazing how one dog can touch your life in such deep and profound ways. Sounds like Butters was loved by every member of your family and all of you gave him a loving tribute. He is no longer suffering. I am so glad your kids grew up with such a wonderful dog. I think a dog teaches our children so much about loyalty, kindness, compassion, and love. Hugs to all of you!!

[Kyoko]

He certainly did. Last month or so, he really was very slow at getting up, walking, and time to time he had accident since it became difficult for him to go poop. None of the kids ever complained or said negative things about that. They just took time and nursed him. Butter taught these kinds of respect and kindness to my kids.....

[Lori]

We are so sorry for your loss, we know the pain of losing a beloved dog. God Bless you & your family & Butter too. You are in my thoughts.

[Bonnie and Kona]

Oh Kyoko, I am so very sorry to hear that Butter has passed. He sounded like such a wonderful dog. I have tears in my eyes thinking of how crushed you all must be. Praying for God's comfort for your whole family.

[Jennifer and Jack]

I am so extremely sorry for your families loss or your beloved Butler.... I am sure that crossing over in your son's arms brought so much peace to Butler....

 

It makes me wonder about dogs, how he waited for your daughter to come home... I wish we could know the minds of them and what they are thinking.. They are the most loyal living things that I have ever come across in my life.

 

Often times they say people are the extension of God's love and while I believe they can be, when you look at the loyalty of a dog and their never ending faithfulness, I say they are more like God's love then anything....

 

I know without a doubt Butler had a great life living with you. I hope that brings you comfort. I pray all the fun and loving memories you have of him bring you laughter and joy.

 

You are in my prayers and on my heart,

 

Jennifer
