Prayers and good thoughts on the way for both Denver and Jean.

I'm so sorry to hear about Denver.
And I'm saddened that the daughter won't let her get another animal. That's so sad.

I do hope she (the daughter) changes her mind.

Prayers going out for Denver. I was thinking the same thing as Phred. One of our local shelters (I think it is AWA in Voorhees) has a program called something like, Senior to Senior, and they work to match up senior dogs and cats with senior citizens. It is a great program, and one that hopefully Jean can talk her family into looking into. Senior dogs need calmer homes and are harder to adopt out because people are afraid of the onset of various medical problems/expenses. All of that, of course, is in the future, for now, I hope that her long time companion Denver, can do well on medication.

Prayers for little Denver. I hope he can live painfree as long as possible.
Could your friend Jean do some volunteer work at a local shelter? Most
I know would be thrilled to have help with the animals.

Phred read my mind!

Seriously, I LOVE Jean more than her daughter. I take Jean to all her doctor appointments and we have lunch. She's got a quick Irish humor and is as sharp as a tack. She looks and acts like she's in her 60's. She's always had 1 or 2 dogs. When her husband was killed in a car accident (she suffered broken bones), I know her dogs helped her survive her sadness.

Dever is her grandson's dog..they got Denver for him when he was 8 but of course he's a driving teenager now with no time. I held the little guy in the palm of my hand when they brought him home. Since he wasn't from a breeder, if you get my drift, he suffered with congenital eye problems and a fluxating kneecap. The family, except for Jean like to eat, and have always tablefed Denver extra goodies so he was always a pudgy pug.

Jean has no say in the matter. i just pray her health doesn't deteriorate when Denver goes to the bridge. Denver was the one dog Cody actually liked. I also dog sat for him too. There could be 30 people at their house at a party and Denver would seek me out and lay on my lap. What a sad situation. Thanks all, for your prayers for Denver and my sweet jean.

Oh Denver, I'm praying for you sweetie. I am so sorry that this is happening. It is such a sad situation, I just hope that Denver can be with Jean as long as possible. Sending a bunch of hugs and good vibes to Denver and Jean.

Phred took the words right outta my mouth.

I have actually thought of doing the same thing for my neighbor. She had to let her kitty go a couple years ago and didn't want to get another because it would out live her.
In fact, I might still look into doing that for her.

I will be thinking of Denver and Jean.
