Buzz
It is with a heavy heart that I write you today. We had to put Buzzy down on November 4. He was sick for a couple of weeks and after a lot of vet visits and tests they discovered his liver was failing. He had some other health issues too and being an old dog, there weren't any treatment options that would make him comfortable. Thankfully our vet was able to come to our home and we were able to put him down peacefully at home.
We cannot even express just how much Buzzy meant to us. He totally transformed from a shy, scared dog to a happy, loving dog. He was always just so happy and fit into our little family so well. He especially bonded with Earl and they were best buddies. Our cats just adored him, especially Moochie, who used to sleep curled up next to Buzzy most nights.
Buzzy was a tremendous success story. Who knew that getting treated for low thyroid could completely transform a dog? Thank you both so much for all the hard work you do and for believing in dogs like Buzzy. We miss him so much but have so many happy memories.

Dori
I was lucky enough to find Dori through your service in 2011. She's been an amazing and loyal friend to me for 13 1/2 years. She has gone backpacking/camping/canoeing in remote wilderness in Kentucky, West Virginia, Ontario, and other places. She's ridden in the car with me to my work appointments. Now she has kidney disease, her hearing is almost gone, she just had a UTI, but what is doing her in is a tumor/growth in her upper jaw right behind her nose. The vet told me last week that it would be at most a few weeks before she wouldn't be able to eat. She could remove the growth but absolutely ZERO guarantee that it wouldn't just grow back immediately. Today the tumor burst or something, and she bled all over my kitchen and office. I made the appointment for tomorrow at 8:45AM. I can't leave her alone so I ordered Reese's peanut butter cups via Instacart, for her last treat. In the past week I took her to Anatolia Cafe twice so she could feast on shaved lamb, filet mignon, chicken, and other choice meats. On Wednesday I took her to a friend's home on Lake Erie, where she ran around and sniffed everything as if nothing was wrong. Her vet has praised me as Dori is well past her life expectancy. Thank you for letting me adopt her. I truly appreciate it. She's been the best dog on the entire planet. Thank you!
