Had to make the trip I was not looking forward to and take our Speckles to the last vet trip this AM. She had cancer and until 5 days ago was doing OK but then started downhill fast. Yesterday she hardly moved any at all and I had to pack her back in the house once she was so weak. This morning she was up and around but still not eating and breathing hard.
She was a guard dog around the hosue when I wasnt home and a perfect farm dog. She was a once in a lifetime dog and will be greatly missed. Buried her out in the front yard next to our lab. Those two would dig up a acre of field to get the mice.
This was her pic with Santa 2 weeks ago, she was looking as great as ever here.
RIP SPeckles 1998-2011

Sorry for your loss, and that of this man's family.
Prayers from hear.
sorry for the loss . prayers to the family and friends .
the older we get the more we realize to cherish each day
All surgery is dangerous. I'd have to have sinus problems really bad before I'd let someone cut on me.
My eldest son had the same surgery about 4 weeks ago.
Similarly, he wouldn't stop bleeding.
Spent three days in the hospital for out-patient surgery.
Prayers for you and his family.
The Clock of Life
The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just where the hands will stop,
At late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more.
To lose one's soul is such a loss
As no man can restore.
The present only is our own.
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in 'tomorrow'
For the clock may then be still.
Give The Book Keeper A Hug From the Woodsheds
Woody
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Condolences to the family, and you.
Remember Today, Find Strength in tomorrow, Cherish all of your Family who will help you get through this very sad time.
Nothing is Promised in Life, Take Every Day, Moment, and LIVE LIFE like this may be the last.
I am very sorry, Remember, Remember, Never Forget.
