Months go by and Im still missin you

Just wanted to say that theres not a day or time i dont think about you and miss you Sparky! I still cry sometimes because you are gone. But then I have to remind myself youre in a better place and are lookin down on me from the sky with your big brown eyes and smiling face. Theres a void in my heart but it will heal. I keep the only professional photo of u next to my bed and every time i see it, it helps remind me how you were before your illness and when you were happy. I hope your happy now and always know that I love you Sparky!! Your best friend, Patricia

Final Goodbye

Today we spread Sparky's ashes across his backyard. Now he will forever guard our house from those squirrels and chipmunks he loved to chase. I cry as I write this because losing him was like losing part of myself. He was with me for 13 out of my 17 years and I will always be grateful for the love and joy he brought to each one of those years. I hope he knows that and I hope he did not have to suffer too long before we finally let him go. It was hard saying goodbye to my best friend in the entire world but now i know he is in a place where there is no cancer or allergies or pain. I love you and miss you Doodle Bug and will ALWAYS!!!! Chase those squirrels up at the Rainbow Bridge for me and I look forward to seeing you there one day! I love you!!!

Rest in Peace my little Doodle bug!

"So hard to say it
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye...."

I regret to inform you that Sparky died this morning, October 28th at 10:30. His body could no longer fight the liver failure. We sent him to a better place where he can no longer hurt and can run freely chasing chipmunks! We had 13 WONDERFUL years with our Sparky Doodle and he will be FOREVER missed deeply!

I love you Sparky and I will alllllwwayyys miss you!! Goodbye.. I can't wait to see you at the Rainbow Bridge! Keep Granddaddy company!

I sure am a miracle dog!

Hello Everyone! My owners are surprised how long I have been living in liver failure. They expected me to die within days of the diagnosis but I proved them wrong! Even though cancerous tumors have invaded most of my body, I am still getting along fine! I sleep more and have more trouble walking but I'm still here and just as happy! I've gotten plenty of good food like McDonalds cheeseburgers and hotdogs and human food! Its great! Just wanted to keep all of you loving dogsters posted about my condition! Thanks for all the support! Love, Sparky

Last time?

Hello Everyone! Unfortunely this will probably be my last diary entry for me. My doctor has told my owners I am in liver failure despite all their efforts to solve my liver problem. They don't know how long I am going to live but it doesnt look very good. I have to make it to my 13th birthday though, October 19! Well I will see all of you at the Rainbow Bridge once I pass. I will make sure my owner notifies everyone when I pass. Thanks for all your support and love, Sparky

Woo Hoo!

Hello everyone! Today was an exciting day! After taking a long nap in the sun, I was awoken by all these new people pouring outside into my yard. I got so excited! So many new smells! I had a tough job sniffing everyone and making sure they were okay to play with my owners! My owner Martha called it a "party". Well the excitement eventually died down and I could again sleep in peace. When it was time for me to come inside for the night, I accidently wet the carpet. Mommy called me a "bad boy" and I had to go back outside alone. Hmph... thats what I get for protecting my owners... Oh well. Mommy says its time for me to go to bed! Talk to you later!

Owwie!

Hello! Today was not a pleasant day. Besides sleeping most of the day away, I had to visit the vet AGAIN. It seems like I go to the vet almost every week! My paws have been really hurting me. The vet said they're infected and my toenail is ingrown. Who knows what that means? All I know is my owners have to put gross cream on my paws twice a day! Its tough bein old! Well thats all for now, Bye!

Close Call!

Hi Everybody! Today I had a mishap with the pool in my backyard. As I was "walking the wall" as my owners call it, I slipped and fell into the pool. I swam around and around trying to find a way out but my legs are just too short to get out! Luckily Elizabeth, one of my owners, used her lifeguarding skills and rescued me! It sure was a close call!

I'm Cancer Free!!

Woof! Hey! I have reason to celebrate today. I found out I do not have liver cancer like my parents and vet thought! Tomorrow I go back to the vet to get another test, to see if I have Cushings Disease. My parents and vet are determined to find out whats causing all my problems! Meanwhile I'm enjoying all the attention! Well thats all for now, just thought everyone should know I don't have cancer!

Surgery

Woof! Hello again! Today I have to get surgery on my liver. I may have a tumor and I had to have it biopsied. I was not worried when I left for the vet, I was just hungry! My mommy couldn't feed me this morning because of the anestisia so I was starving. I was a little scared when I went to the vet but I knew I had to be strong for my owners! I have to stay at the vet the whole day but I dont have to stay the night. Thank goodness! I know my owners will give me a lot of love and care once I get home. Well thats all for now, I will keep you posted on the results of my surgery! Bye!
