And all who post here: My soul is moved to extremes when I read the story of Jerry. Never have I read such a moving story, written with so much love and understanding. We are so touched by our pets. There is a bond that transcends even those between family and friends. They are special loves in our lives that represent the purity of loyalty and love. My prayers go out to all of you, asking for strength to bear your sorrow, and mercy for your pets that they may not suffer. You are indeed special people. Kris B. And all who post here:

I have a special boy... Jeep. He's a Newfoundland Lab mix - nine years old this summer. A big black bundle of love. He was diagnosed in July 2009 with male mammary cancer. My heart broke. We removed the tumor from his tummy (he now pees at a 45 degree angle) and another bone from his foot that had the cancer in it. Now we wait. He is pain free at the moment and so happy but I know I will lose him soon. I also decided not to do any heroic measures. The type of cancer he has is not treatable and is very aggressive so any thing I do is just to prolong his life at the expense of his comfort. I'm ok with doing some things if it will make him feel better but not if it is just to lengthen the days. I have had dogs all my life and I've seen them all to the end. It just never gets better but I still will not give up the special relationships I have had with them to avoid that pain. They truly are angels with fur. I admire your devotion and the way that you chose to honor Jerry. Bless you.... and please say a little prayer for Jeep. I was so touched by your story. I have a special boy… Jeep.

I"M so happy for ya'll and for your new pal. HOw exciting! I read your story a long time ago (i had two shepherds at one time, but they both crossed the rainbow bridge years ago (about a year apart). I waited also about 10 months, and then rescued a "labradoodle". She's my shepherd in disguise (i still love the shepherds so much...i'll get another one of these days probably). Bengi (My labradoodle) is precious. 6 years old and gets along with my two rescue cats. I HAVE to have animals around me. Felt empty after my dogs passed on.... Best to you. Thanks for keeping us up on your wonderful inspiring stories.... Blessings to you.... Lisa what a beauty! I”M so happy for ya’ll and for your new pal. HOw exciting!
