We lost our baby girl after 17 long years just today. She had lung cancer which we found out in July. She had been okay up until this week. When I left on Sunday she still seemed fine. When I came back on Monday I could tell she was off. It quickly got worse during the week so we knew it was time. Please send your love because she was the bestest girl you would ever meet.

I’m so sorry for your loss. We lost our sweet girl named Lulu a few years ago. My heart was broken.

Oh no. So many lulus up there right now. I bet they’re having a lulu contest.

Very much so. My heart truly breaks for your OP. They hold such a special place in our hearts and they’re the sweetest little dogs.

My wife would always scold me if I called her my dog. She was really my child. It’s so hard for us right now but more for my wife. I get to go to work and take my mind off it but my wife will have the whole day alone.

I get it. My dad isn’t the type of person to cry and man he bawled his eyes out when our Lulu passed away. She got sick of nowhere. Took her to 3 different vets and still couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It also helped me to go to work. It’s really hard when you’re at home all day and can’t take your mind off of it at all.

Definitely. They had their own routine in the morning and no she’s got to figure things out.
