We lost another battle

[GennyB]

My sweet Rue Boo lost her battle to cancer on Saturady. Needless to say our hearts are shattered.
She was so beautiful , strong and courageous. Probably the smartest dog I have ever met. I have never seen a dog so determined to let know what she was trying to tell you.
I don't want to go into all the ugly details because I want to try and forget that part. Cancer is UGLY! I just want to try and keep the beautiful parts of her life close to my heart. She's at peace now and I am definitely keeping that close.
R.I.P. baby girl....

 

[LifeofRubie]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Run free, sweet Rue...

 

[remy]

I’m so sorry for your loss!

 

[Oh Little Oji]

Oh, wow, beautiful Rumor. So sorry to hear this. I know she had the best life ever with you! I wish you peace and comfort through this time.

 

[MyBuddy]

Genny, I'm so sorry about Rue. I know how much you loved her I know how much this hurts. I wish none of us had to go through this. We all mourn the passing of each other's dogs. We grow to love them without ever even meeting them! Like I told you yesterday, we are all here for you and if you ever feel the need to talk we are here or only a phone call away.

RIP Sweet Rumor

Run Free sweet Rumor

So sorry for your loss and wishing you peace now. There are no words that seem adequate in these circumstances but R.I.P. sweet Rumour.

 

[lady Dobie]

My deepest condolences ,,, i think this is one of the hardest things we go through...

 

[Ravenbird]

So sad to see this. They mean so very much to us. Wishing you peace somehow in navigating the loss.

 

[Ddski5]

So sorry to hear this.
Truly hurts when we lose them, I know she meant a lot to you.

 

[Kaiser2016]

I’m so sorry for you, having to navigate this awful loss of Rue. We recently lost our boy Kaiser, so I understand this all too well. It seems that they are always gone too soon. RIP Rumor.

I have been devastated by this loss. Rumor and I shared a very special bond. I wasn't in a good place when she first came home. I was very sick and made even worse by the medication perscribed for my disease. I can't explain it, but bringing this beautiful girl in my life somehow inspired me to improve. I eventually left behind traditional medicine and found an herbalist with the same disease. I found some herbs and mushroom tinctures and have helped me immensely. I am able to walk now and my head is more clear than it has been in years. Rumor was my service dog that was happy to give that job up and become my adventure partner. After moving back to the country, we slowly bought up surrounding property and now have 137 acres. Together Rue and I walked all over the foothills and I became stronger every day. Web was my partner in life and now she's gone.
I think it is made harder because I am also mourning the breed. Rumor was my last dobies. I've had them for decades and watch them become sicker and sicker. If it's not DCM then it's cancer or some other devastating thing. It just feels cruel to breed them.

I've had them for decades and watch them become sicker and sicker. If it's not DCM then it's cancer or some other devastating thing.

I know I've had these exact same thoughts and I truly feel only those of us who lived with them 30 + years ago understand how normal and carefree it was like... to not fret about their health, or begin to wonder if this will be their last year way before they are 8 or 9. The best, most careful and genetic tested breeding in the world is no longer enough.

I sympathize and totally understand and yet I don't know how I could choose another breed.

Take care of yourself and cherish your memories.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Rumor. Your story of that bond is quite special, indeed. Wishing you peace.

I'm so happy to hear this! I know this is a great route to go for you! I've heard wonderful things about 'alternative' medicines for all kinds of diseases. Rue is still beside you so keep up the walking that she started.
