For 3 and a half years he was my pride and joy. So much energy and playfulness that nothing could contain him. Nothing except Cancer! When we found out he had Cancer, we let him go. Suffering through the treatments was never an option. He lived and died with the dignity that he deserved. He was always Loyal to the family and we returned that Loyalty to Him! I went through denial, bargining, anger and finally acceptance in one visit to my vet. I brought him in for what I thought was a reaction to his pain medication for his knees and carried and buried my bay boby the same evening. He was too young to die!!! I just found this website as a way to help myself through the grief that I'm feeling now. So many others stories have touched me in a way I can't express in my words. Thank you all for your stories as it is helping me prepare to live without Barkley and knowing that we will meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

God Bless you all
