    Callihan

    My beloved boy Callihan had to be put down yesterday. Callihan had a very large tumor removed over a week ago and last Friday we learned that he had stage 3 hemangiosarcoma. We brought him home last Sunday hoping and praying for a miracle but it just wasn't to be. He wouldn't eat and had gotten very weak. He still had his personality though and we were able to love on him for the last 4 days of his life. Our vet came to the house yesterday and put him down. Callihan left this existence with peace. Our hearts are broken...

    Callihan was born July 7, 1995 and died February 15, 2007. Callihan was a beautiful male Doberman Pinscher who was featured as the very first "Pet of the Day" back on September 1, 1997. He now joins Quincey at the Bridge...

    Until we meet again my boy...

    I'm so sorry to hear Dear Callihan has left for the Bridge. I'm honored to have met Dog of the Day's First Dog, at the Findlay Dog Park.

    Run free Calli. You will be missed.

    Our thoughts are with you and your family, Brad.

    Dear, dear Callihan, our first ever Pet of the Day, play well at the Rainbow Bridge, boy! You will be missed here on earth. You go find my Sheba girl - we always thought she might be part Doberman, and she's very smart and has been there a long time, so she'll show you around, okay?

    bnormal, I am so so sorry about Callihan. I went and read the page where he got the very first pet of the day! That is something you will always remember! He was beautiful and he sounded so sweet and loving... I'm so sorry you had to put him to sleep, but he's at the RB now. I have 4 bog dogs a collie, a great pyrenees, an alaskan malamute, and a chow that have gone to the RB also, so they will show him around as well; I'm so sorry though he was so pretty.....

    Dear Brad & Jennie...
    I am so terribly sorry to hear of the loss of Callihan. Having met Calli, and Mitchell, in Findlay it hits so close to my heart hearing this news. I know he was deeply loved during his stay here and will be cherished forever.

    He was a beautiful companion.

    Please give Mitchell a big hug from me. Although it's not on good terms, I am glad to see your name as a thread started.

    Darn it. I hate for anyone else to feel the same pain I am feeling right now.

    Rest in peace, Callihan. You sure did have some special friends to go with you.

    Dear Brad ~

    Sorry I missed this when you needed a shoulder to lean on ...
    But I offer my Sympathies for the loss of Callihan.

    I'm sure he'll *drop by* the Findlay Park over Memorial Day ...
    all the Pups will meet him under the Big Tree for a Howdy.

    You'd be welcome, too!

    Oh Brad

    I"m so very sorry to hear about Callihan and sorry I didn't see this thread sooner (thanks Staci for letting me know)

    I know how much this must be hurting you, but know that he's happy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge with my Angus and all the other PT pups that has left before him.

    I'm very luck to be one of the people to have met your beautiful, sweet boy. He'll be missed by everyone.

    Many (((hugs))) to you both.

    Thanks so much from Bnormal

    Thanks much to everyone for your sympathies...the last few weeks have been tough...

    Even now it's still hard to believe that Callihan is gone. I still have trouble even saying it. The memories randomly come to mind almost by the minute...Things I haven't thought of in years. The pain I feel I use to remind myself that their are 3 dobie boys and girls to love on...Mitchy, Jackie and Bennie...

    To those here I've never met in person thanks again for your kind words.

    To those I had the good fortune of meeting a few years ago in Findlay your words of encouragement are special and I look forward to seeing you again sometime soon. It certainly makes it more personal when you've actually met.

    Attached is a picture of Callihan and Mitchy at the park in Findlay from a few years ago. Callihan is looking right into the camera with a look that says, "hi daddy, it sure is hot"! That is Mitchy on the right.

    God bless you all!

    see you soon pooch...

    You are still in my thoughts Brad and family -
    I hope you DO make it sometime back to Findlay - even my house!
    I'm so glad I had the opportunity to have your dobie boys have a short romp in my yard.

    Yeah but remember it wasn't too hot for him to pass up a chance to play ball I'm sure him and Angus are having a time at the bridge fighting over who gets the tennis ball

    Thinking of you...

    Anna...no doubt

    Anna, thanks for posting that picture of Callihan and Mitchell...that's great!

    I'm sure Angus, Callihan and Quincey are playing and rompin around...I can't wait for that day when their running and all of a sudden they get a whiff in the air and they stop. Their ears perk up...and they realize that mommy and daddy are home...and never shall we be separated again!

    Very cool to think about!

    God bless!
