Duke's Prognosis*Not Good

[pitc9]

LES....
Val, I love Duke and it hurts me so much to know what a hard time you are going through right now.
No one wants to go through what you are going through right now.

Why do they touch our live so deeply....... then leave so soon.

How can we go on once they are gone? We can go on because we find the strength that they gave us when they were here on earth with us and knowing that they are no longer hurting and/or are in pain helps us wake up each morning. They may no longer be with us in the flesh but we know they are there with us everyday of our lives until we see them again.
I wish I could put my arms around you right now Val!!
I'd tell you that Duke loves you and thanks you for the wonderful life you've given him.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Prayers for you both.

now. I know how much you love that big guy, and believe me, WE do
too. I will keep you both in my prayers for better days to come.Please
keep us updated on how things go the next few days. (((Hugs))) Liz.

My heart is breaking for you.
Duke has always looked like such a sweet, happy boy.. I can't even begin to imagine how its like to see him in such shape.
Major (((((HUGS))))) to you, and a gentle one for Duke.
Positive thoughts headed your way for your boy.

Please keep us updated, I'll check back to this thread later.

it just stinks that they don't live as long as we do
I'm so sorry Val. I will be thinking of you.

I am so sorry Valerie. I'll be thinking of you two.

[slleipnir]

I'm so sorry Val. I don't even know what else to say that could possibly comfort you....

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Val, I am so sorry.

I don't think there is anything I can say that will comfort you at this time. I could tell through all of your posts and such about Duke how much he means to you.

Prayers and good thoughts are being sent your way!!!

I saw this thread first thing this morning but couldn't bring myself to post. My eyes started leaking right away and now as I read the responses and your last post, I have LES all over again. It's funny, but even though we have not met, I can feel the pain that prevails. I too, know how hard of a decision it is and how difficult it is to let go and say good-bye.

Val, please know that my prayers are coming out to you right now and I'll light a candle for Duke.

Big {{{hugs}}} to you

Dear Valerie,

Your words are a testament to that special bond between dogs and their best friends. Your Duke and you have that special bond, and I think we all have loved him since we met him here on Pet Talk.

You've had a rough few weeks and I am so sorry. Please know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers on every issue that you are dealing with right now.

I will say a prayer for you and Duke and you both will be in my thoughts. hang in there.
(((HUGS to the both of you)))

Dear Val and Duke,

I wish with all my heart that there was something I could say right now to comfort both of you and make all this terrible news go away. As long as I've been a member of this community, I have felt the love you have for this precious boy. I know what this is doing to you. I know you're numb. You've been through so much. I can only tell you that I'll pray as hard as I can to bring a miracle here for you and this gentle soul. Dear God, please make Duke well so he can be here with his Mom awhile longer. My heart breaks for you both. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

Love, Terry

I have two candles lit tonight, side by side. One is for Corinna in her memory, since it the day of her memorial. One is for our precious Duke so that his candle can keep burning for all of us, but especially for his mom.

[Prairie Purrs]

Hoping for a miracle that'll give you and your precious boy some more time together . . .

Oh Valerie my heart is breaking for you. Duke has always had a special place in my heart aswell, and i loved reading about his adventures. You will be in my thoughts {{Hugs}}. Our Penny will be given her angel wings Monday morning so if it is Dukes time they may cross to the RB together *Tears*.
