    What a touching post. I am so sorry you lost your Duke. Cancer is a terrible thing. I can't believe how many dear pets and people I've heard of that have contracted it in the past year. Time will help that terrible searing pain subside. You'll always have the memories and you will always miss your dear boy too. Hugs to you and the rest of the crew.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    I am so sorry you lost Duke so soon. I was praying like mad that you'd get much more time with him. You've written a lovely tribute to him, he'd be very proud. Hugs for you dearest, I know you need them.

    Duke, dear boy, you were so lucky to have been loved so much. I am glad to know you are no longer in any pain or discomfort. I've got a couple of girls there that you could look for, Sami, she's been there since '03 and Sasha, she just got there 3 months ago. I know they'd be good friends.

    I'm so sorry. Traci, this came in a card from my vets after I had my RB Mandy PTS. It made me feel a bit better. Duke will always be in your heart.{hugs}

    Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears,
    but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you...
    I loved you so -- t'was Heaven here with you.

    Traci, I read your loving tribute to Duke a bit earlier and was crying too much to be able to post. I've had a few who touched my heart, and I've had to make that final decision a few times as well.

    Bless you for all the wonderful things you did for Duke, and which you do for all your fur kids.

    Duke is now flying about happily pain free at Rainbow Bridge.

    I loved seeing his puppy photo, and of course the recent ones I remember so well.

    Traci, I know you are heartbroken right now, but please know you did the best thing for him and no one can argue with that logic. Duke loved you and he was a gorgeous, handsome boy. I am so so sorry for your loss, I support you 100% and please accept my deepest condolences.

    Beautiful tribute to a handsome man! Reading it made me cry, I must admit. It's so hard to be the one to make that decision. It helps some to know that you're doing it out of love.. and you know that he'll be happier when he's no longer suffering.

    Run free and play hard, Duke!

    Omg, I am soo Sorry for you loss of Duke! It never gets easier. I could only imagine what your going through. Your a strong person and will get through this. Duke will be there with you.

    Someone once told me.. The reason pets don't live as long as people is because they are here on this earth to teach us something. Once that has been taught..and they know it.. They go up to the Rainbow bridge to watch over what they have done.

    You learned love. You learned unconditional love. That is what Heart dogs and cats do. They teach us the love we never would have known without them!

    He was a beautiful and amazing dog! I know I am not on here often. But I Always seem to remember you and all 4 of your beautiful dogs!

    I am here for you if you need someone to talk!

    *hugs*
