LOVE the tattoo…...Roberta

I think i know pugley and dave!!!! are they from MD???!!!!!!

What a lovely idea.  awesome tat by the way!

What a lovely way to remember Sol!

I think that is the best idea for a tattoo I’ve ever heard of.  And I love that its a sunburst. 

Will everyone please keep my boy Charlie in your thoughts tomorrow morning?  We found out a week and a half ago, that the bump he has had on his head for the last 2 months is a mast cell tumor and he is having it removed tomorrow.

I took him to the vet in early March when I first noticed it. The vet aspirated it but not much fluid came out of it.  She prescribed medication & said to bring him back if it hadn’t cleared up in a month.  Not only did it not clear up, it got bigger!  So we went back.  The second vet took one look at the bump and said it looked like a Mast Cell Tumor but sent off a fluid sample to make sure.  He explained there are 3 grades for these tumors, with Grade 3 meaning the cancer has spread to other areas.  So please pray that the vet gets all of the tumor (its right next to his left ear so that’s gonna be a tough spot to work around) and that it hasn’t spread.

I love it! That is a perfect tribute to sweet Sol. My Pippy sits on my feet too. The tattoo is beautiful.

Pug hugs from Gina and Pippy.

I know how you feel about Sol’s passing. Yesterday my pug, Baby was put to rest (Cinco De Mayo 2010). He unfortunately had cancer and right now I’m trying to cope with his loss. It’s really hard because he was the first pug I have owned and that truly loved me. He would also lay at my feet or snuggle his chin up on my shins. ((Heaves heavy sigh))
I really miss that as well. =’(
I love the tattoo! =) I have to agree from your earlier posts that FL is a tough state for pugs due to its humidity.

I LOVE it! What a beautiful way to remember Sol!

What a loving, fitting way to remember our little ray of sunshine…There was something truly special about Sol, maybe just the way her little face brought so much joy to us all.  I still miss seeing her but I have her on my desktop and in my heart as well!

Katie, I am so sorry for your loss…It’s never easy to lose one of our babies!

Paula, prayers going out to you and Charlie for a good report!  Keep your chin up, prayers do get answered!

Paula I will say a prayer for Charlie I hope he does well with the surgery and it is a low grade mass cell

Katie I am so sorry for your loss of Baby I will say a prayer for him and you hope sol was waiting to great him at the bridge

Thanks everyone for your best wishes.  I’ll be counting on y’all to hold my hand thru the surgery tomorrow.

Katie, I wanted to send you a hug regarding Baby.  I know you are hurting. But I loved the comment that Sue made about Sol waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge.  Hope that image of the two of them together brings you a little bit of comfort as well.

Dear Paula… prayers for Charlie & his quick recovery.

Dear Katie… prayers for comfort and peace as you grieve for Baby.

Dear Corrine… love the tattoo, sweet tribute.

Pug Hugs to ALL… judi & “the Boyz”

Thank you for all the sympathy. I feel really bad because we are supposed to be happy for Corrine’s tribute. All I want to ask is: how can you cope with a death that just happened? Those deep brown eyes looking at you and giving you the last wag of the tail(thats what Baby did at the vets before his euthanasia). I mean that is the only thing that replays in my head. Being at the vets office at 7am. Just whispering in his ear how much I love him. Then I come home with his collar in my hand and its lonely. Memories begin to replay. How many times he had jumped after me in the pool…or the times when I took him trick-or-treating in a hot dog costume (he got a doggy treat from a nice neighbor)...the list goes on. So the question is: how can I cope with his loss?

Katie, Karen B is right…there are no words.  Cry all you want and need.  One thing to keep in mind…at least I am a firm believer in it as over the last 40 years I have been through this many times…that little wag of Baby’s tail was to thank you for all your loving care and to let you know it was time because he was so sick, and it is ok. That is one of the things that has sustained me.  I still grieve and cry, but that little wag or gesture lets me know I have made the right decision and I am being thanked.  God bless you, and please keep in touch to let us know how you are doing.  You know that OBPlanders care and we are always concerned when someone is hurting.

Corrine, I am touched beyond belief by your tattoo.  Looking at it, I remember how much time and thought went into naming Sol.  And her name has now turned into something special and beautiful to be with you forever!  I love it!

Paula, I will keep Charlie in my thoughts and prayers!
Katie, The only advice i can give you is the old saying…time heals all. Time, and time alone! We had to put down our golden ret. when he was 14 1/2, what made it even worse was he was the same age as my daughter. They grew up together. It was soooo hard but, TIME HEALS and so does the thought that we gave him the best life ever and that makes you feel good. It’s ok…we all know you gave Baby the best of life. Thoughts are with you, Roberta

You and I are so similar in regards to our pets that it makes me cry sometimes.

I got Carmen’s name inked on my inner wrist.  I think it’s the best way to show them love, and to keep a piece of them with us always.

LOVE IT!

katie…i can hardly write for the tears.  my 2 pugs both have health issues and the thought of losing one of them just breaks my heart.  it would be like losing one of my children…which they are.  i am so sorry and pray that God will bring peace to your heart.

paula…i hope the results are good and again, i turn to the one who can do anything and ask God for healing your baby.

corrine…love the tatto!  love and miss sweet sol.  my amos is just like that.  wants to rest his head on my foot, knee or any other body part thats available.  I have to be so careful not to trip over him, because everywhere i go, he’s right behind me or between my feet.  love those pugs!

Got to read some more blogs-Katie, There is no way not to grieve when we loose a beloved family member. My heart is saddened for you but you know the memories keep Baby, Sol, Riley and all those sweet fur babies that have graced our lives alive. Baby is with SOl, Riley & my sweet Buttons all waiting to see us again. We are all here for you in spirit in prayer and to comfort you. Here’s a special pug-hug coming your way from the COlorado 3
