Duffer - RIP

[Hillbilly77]

A couple months ago we got bad news from the vet.

Duffer was diagnosed with cancer. The vet put him on some meds that cleared up a couple other troubles he was having and we were blessed with 2 more good months with him.

The last couple days were rough and my pal was slipping.
Today was the day. I held his head in my arms and he went quickly and painlessly.

Rest In Peace, Duffer.

Making himself comfortable for a nap on Mrs. Hillbilly's great-grandmother's davenport.

This is often how he would wait for my wife & daughters to come home.

My sympathy to you

You have my sympathy on your loss of Duffer...what a good looking dog...we went through this about a year ago with our Bella a 170 lb. Mastidane...(your Duffer very much resembles our Bella) Bella developed bone cancer and died at age 8 1/2...way too soon...I completely understand what you are going through...you are in my thoughts...Roger

I also gave your post a"like". What a beautiful dog Duffer was and you have a bundle of wonderful memories. That being said, I know how much sadness his passing has left you with now. I'm glad you had quality time for those 2 months. RIP Duffer and my sincere condolences to you and all the folks who loved him.

It's amazing how an animal can work their way into our lives and our hearts.

RIP Duffer, good boy.

Hillbilly,

My condolences at your loss. Take comfort in knowing Duffer is no longer in pain and awaiting you at the Bridge.

Sorry for your loss, they are such good friends.

I can't imagine any words that would ease the hurt of the loss of your friend.

There's no love like the love of a good dog. RIP Duffer.

I am sorry. It's never an easy thing to give that final bit of love to our buddies to give them peace.
He looked like quite the character!
RIP Duffer

There are few losses like a good dog. My condolences.

Sorry to hear of this. It is a loss of a family member. One who loved you unconditionally. When I lose a friend like this, I bawl my eyes out and I don't care who sees me. Crying actually helps.

Sorry to see that Rob. He was a good, friendly dog.

 

[TheHobbyist]

very sorry for your loss of your friend and hope you find peace when the time is right.

There is really nothing anyone can say to assuage the pain of losing a friend.

I'm truly sorry

Very sorry to hear about your loss. I keep seeing more and more white on the faces of both our furry kids. We have been through many generations and it always hurts when we have to say goodbye to them. Thankfully we always find another to adopt, or are adopted by another. The love goes on.
