Rest In Peace, Fuzzy (1994-2007)

Post by Darth Wong »

Our beloved dog Fuzzy died today at noon. He went into cardiac arrest at the local animal hospital after a bout with a bacterial infection. At least the cancer never got him, and he was not in pain when he died.

Very few of you ever saw him up close, but he was a good dog. A friendly, loyal companion to the end. Goodbye, Fuzzy. We'll never forget you.

13 is a respectable age for a dog.

Still sucks, though. :(

Condolences for you and the family. Losing a pet is always hard because of how close they become.

I have to add my small condolences, too. That really, really sucks.

As you said, at least he died peacefully and not in any kind of pain, whether sharp or, the worst (one of our dogs went this way, and she was in agony - it was much kinder to get her put down), lingering.

Loosing a dog is a horrible event. My sympathies to the family. Take solace in that 13 is pretty good for a dog, and you had a long time with him.

I hope your kids take it well, and you for that matter.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

My condolences. Though I only met him briefly a couple times he's left a lasting impression of truly being man's best friend. He will be missed. :(

I'm so sorry. It lived a long dog life, and at least it wasn't painful. We have a dog, and I can't imagine losing her.

I remember the sadness my mother had when she spoke of her last dog who died miserably while waiting for her to come back. My condolences.

My sympathies to you and your family, especially your kids. Losing the first dog hurt the most for me.

Whenever a pet has passed away, I'm reminded of a quote:

"He's your friend, partner, and defender, your dog. You're his life, love, & leader. He will be yours, faithful & true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

My condolences, for what they're worth. I'm sure he died happy.

Mike you have my deepest and most sincere sympathy. I know how much losing one's dog hurts and I can only say that my heart goes out to you and your family at this time. At least you can take some comfort in that he went out painlessly and with his loving family.
