As many of you know I lost my wonderful lab mix Scamp a few years ago and my lovey Border collie Sadie May in May. Which left my family with Dozer a bulldog who we adored and spoiled because he was the only dog.

Sadly Dozer stopped eating Sunday (I was gone because of work and didn't notice right away) anyway I thought maybe it was the cold and brought him inside to warm up, he normally slept in the back porch and liked it but I thought he just wanted to be with me more. Come Wednesday (today) he seemed better and went outside with no complaint.

I went to town before preparing for work and the lady who rents on our property said he threw up and it was bad. My mom took him to the vet while I went to work. We thought it was just something he ate. He has been known to eat cat poo and try to nose his way into garbage.

Turned out Dozer had a massive tumor on his liver and it was causing him a lot of pain. There was no chance in saving the liver even if the vet tried to remove it. Pretty much the tumor replaced the liver.

My mom made the choice to put him down. I would have done the same if it was me and now Dozer is with his best friends (Scamp & Sadie) in Doggie Summerland. Where they don't need to hurt anymore.

I'm kinda still in a daze bc I was at worked when it happened. And I'm sure once I leave I'll break down. I'll be online bc it's a good outlet but I probably just be in the cbox.

I have a strong belief pets are put on this earth to make us better people. I many good memories with him as all my pets. It's just sad to know they are gone.

I am so sorry, Heli, losing a pet is always like losing a piece of one's heart. You're right though, at least now Dozer is pain-free and playing with Scamp & Sadie, enjoying himself.

If you need to take some time off, just let us know. We will be here for you no matter what.

Sending you all the good vibes and cyber hugs,
