((((Lance, Lotta & Family}}}} I am sorry to hear about Nikki. I don't know what she passed away from, but 8 months is to short of a short time. She was probably much happier being at your house than going to a new one and re-adjusting. (((Lance)))

Nikki was about 6. We got her 8 months ago. So most of her life she had no human or other animal interaction. She died from her stomach turning over, cutting off blood flow to a few important places. It happened faster than Joelle could get from work to the vet to have her put down. She was in for a couple of tests and x-rays for some back and leg problems she was having. They had to knock her out, and since she is to spun up with other people she took in huge amounts of air into her stomach. What I feel worst about is her not having love for most of her life. She deserved better. Thanks everyone. It sure felt different in the house last night without her.

She did indeed deserve better than she got most of her life, but you gave her what she deserved while she was with you, Lance. Lance and Lotta, I'm sure she will guide other dogs to you, dogs who need you the most.

Nikki was lucky to have you guys even for such a short time. Remember dogs don't have a sense of time so she knew your love for the last part of her life. I am so impressed with the love and caring for foster animals that you show. My problem is if they come to my house I don't let them go find a forever home...so DH says absolutely no to fostering. So I give my little money and food donations and collect pop cans for North Beach Paws.

If you only feed dry food, it's not involved.

I just got a call from my mom. Our family dog Butch who was 15 years old just died. My dad sat with him for two hours, holding him and he took his last breath. I didn't know, until they just called me. I would like to leave this post in Memory of my butchybutch. I will always love him and miss him so much....

I just called my mom to check in. My nephew didn't find out until this morning (he lives with my mom) so he stayed home from school and went to bed crying. He has known that dog his whole life. Dad had to go back to bed, he feels like someone beat him up. Mom and I feel hung over, even though we don't drink. Everyone is well other wise. Yes our fur babies are our children to us too. So we take it hard as if one of our children does pass on. Thank you every one for your thoughts and hugs. I had no one to call or confide in, so I appreciate the tvch and the forums, and friendships we all make. HUGE HUG for you ALL!

 Butch My sympathies to your family, Dolphinschild. Fifteen is quite old for a doggy although I know no matter how long our animal friends are with us, it never seems long enough. I'm sure Butch had a happy life and loved you all and his spirit is waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.

About the pet food recall - I would caution anyone to be really careful as it seems this may be more widespread and include other types of food than have been reported. My mom's been obsessed with this story and apparently local news and vets are reporting far more cases than have made the national media. There's also reports that only assumptions are being made that dry food is safe - it hasn't really been tested. I don't want to alarm anyone, just passing along the info I've been told. There's always so much speculation and conflicting information in these types of stories.

{{{Dolphinschild}}} I know that feeling all too well, and even when they are older, it still hurts so much. ============= And there are some Eukanuba dry foods for fat cats and dogs that are affected, now. And treats for cats and dogs, And I heard of a fear about the bull pizzle chews for dogs, involving E coli. Blue Spa Select foods (at least for cats) seem to contain no wheat glutin at all, so their cans are on the shelf. I'm very thankful as they gave Angelina some measure of happiness and comfort for a few recent days.
