Mary – Thanks for sharing; cancer is such an evil, disgusting thing; dogs (and other pets) improve our lives so much and to rescue them is so very worth it.

Hi Birdfreak – it sounds like you lost Baby just shortly before we lost our husky, Kodiak (Kody, for short). We also lost Kody to cancer, to be excact, hemangiosarcoma. I think it’s a form of cancer of the blood. Like you miss Baby, we miss him so much. Kody was also a rescued dog – we acquired him when he was 5 yrs old, and he was 10 when we lost him. At least we can all say that our pets certainly make our lives richer, and they give us a lot of memories to cherish.

Melissa – thank you and the memories are worth so much that they out-weigh the pain of loss.

Lana – thank you; we felt it would be impossible to get another dog but within a week we had adopted Arizona, a puppy found roaming around a local airport. We only wish we had room to rescue more but understand the difficulty after the loss…

My sympathies. *hugs* Thanks for sharing your memories. I lost a cat-friend to cancer, as well. I still mourn that loss (& that of my husky not long before,) so many years later. Animal companions are adept at crawling very deeply into one’s heart. As much as I’d love having a pet again, I still don’t think I’m ready.

Awww, sorry to hear about your loss one year ago, but happy to see that you cherish and remember.
Hang on to the memories that make you smile and continue, as you said, your road to conservation in Baby’s honor.
Blessings for you all! And keep up the EXCELLENT work!
