Seventeen year old little buddy died today.
He was the oldest of our dogs and hasn't been doing well for the past three days. He has been taking heart pills for about 3 months and his breathing hasn't been right for a while.....so we knew it was coming.
He was a white Pomeranian named Huggy Bear who weighed just under 10 pounds.
He was such a fun dog to have and has given us the best time throughout the years.
We were at Larry's parents and saw him heard a group of cows into a fence from a pasture one day....it was the funniest thing to see. He used to get out and run across the street and bark at the neighbors bull.....giving all he had to the bull that would just look down and try to smell him.
He chewed up at least $1000 in cables when he was a puppy.
He jumped out of TWO moving cars (rolling safely to a stop and never learning a lesson.)
He BRAZENLY flirted with every female dog that he could.
He never missed a chance to run behind our Golden and nip him on the balls (not even on his last day while on death's doorstep.)
He once attacked a dog that outweighed him by 100 pounds, having his internal organs exposed and spending two weeks at the vet getting sewed back together.....just to come home and try to attack that same dog when he recovered through the fence we had put up around his territory (or "Kingdom" as Huggy would have called it.)
He would go a year without peeing on a thing and then pick the most random object to tag.
He barked just to get the rest of his crew going....not because of any real reason....just to remind us all of the power he had to disrupt the peace at any given time.
He had the worst breath of any living thing that has ever walked this earth.
He was amazing!

The Rainbows Bridge Poem
RainbowBridge.com
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry Kasey, very tough to deal with. Shame they can't live longer. They do have their very own personalities that can never be replaced. 0 -
HUGGY BEAR[:(] Shouldn't have read this thread. That's a long time to live for a small dog and I'm sure he lived better than 99.9% of his kin. Sorry to hear he's gone. 0 -
Just what is about these damn things[:(]. I'll never get over the fact that I felt worse when one of our dogs passed than when may Dad died[V] 0
