Sad Day
« on: 06/13/14 16:11 UTC »
It's a sad day at my house today.  We had to put our 11 year old lab, Libby, down...cancer.  She's the one who ate my shoe a while back.  I'd gladly give her the other shoe now if it would bring her back.

I hear you Denny!

Not a day goes by that I don't think about my bud I lost a couple years back. I don't expect to ever bond with another dog the way I did with him.

It is not easy.  Our family went through that two years ago with our Lab.  I feel for you.

Sorry to hear buddy!!  It's been a year and a half since I had to put my lab down and I still miss her like crazy.  Just think about all the good times and they'll help you get through.

I'm sorry to hear that Denny.
I have a yellow lab and had a growth removed from her side. The vet sent it off to LSU and it came back positive for cancer. Right now she runs around like everything is fine, but I dread the day, especially for my daughter. To top it off, she is on siezure medication and incontinence meds as well. I tend to think the flea and tick control chemicals we dose them with contributes to it.

Sorry to hear that Denny.  :( lost both of ours in the last 3 years, both had cancer but died from other ailments, mainly old age.
Flea/tick controls such as Frontline could certainly be a contributing reason for cancer in pets.  Lawn chemicals (2-4-D based broadleaf weed killers for sure!) contribute as well.  If you guys have dogs, you won't have a perfect lawn; ditch the pesticides.

Sorry for your loss. I know where you are coming from. I lost my lab 5 years ago...and I'm still sad about it.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, companion, and family member.  If people were more like dogs; the world would be a much much nicer place.

It's really encouraging when friends come together in times like this,  it's kinda like circling the wagons.  Thanks for all the kind words.

I'm so sorry to hear that Denny, I get my cats the one year rabbies vaccine and I go back every year just because the 5 year stuff can cause cancer and since I have it I don't want my pets to have it.

I feel for you as I have put down several and it certainly doesn't get any easier with "experience".  After our first dog had to be put down, I never wanted another... but the wife has convinced me to reconsider (more than once).
