Default Been a while since posting here.

That my puppy, King; passed away a few weeks ago in my arms at the vet. Some of you might remember me for those who don't King was my GSD for almost 8 years. Although this is pretty much the first post since a few months after Katrina hit here in Gulfport Mississippi. When I purchased King originally I was not educated as I am now to know what a puppy mill is. I purchased him and at two maybe three years he started with bad hips, and some of you know this my family member not just a dog. King had beaten the pancrentitus and was gaining weight again, he got down to less than 60 lbs and before he got sick he was right at 100 lbs. King was 72 lbs and on his road to recovery; on and off King was on Rimadyl with no problems and I had no idea about the history of this drug. Long story short I gave him his tablet (first time ever given the real stuff all the other times it was the generic version). After a long and hard battle at the vet he passed away in my arms at 10:15 on May 26th 2010. I haven't cried so hard and I am tearing up just writing this; beware if your pet has been given Rimadyl. If it works on your dog its great; if not it will kill your pet.

So to my friend and family member shall you always play in the rolling stream and have fun playing near the Rainbow Bridge and wait for me I will be with you soon so we can continue with our lives together.

KING

I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure you know it gets easier with time. What a musically inclined dog though! What's that set up? A full stack? You have a Peavey 5150, 2x12 (is it?), and a Fender cab? King sure had an awesome Dad!

I am so very sorry. King was a great shepherd. I will be thinking of you as the first month's anniversary approaches. I have a small rock garden as a "memory garden" and during that first hard month, when my Aussie died nearly 5 years ago now, I went back to the favorite places my dog and I enjoyed walking when he was young and healthy and pick up a small rock to add to the garden - I went alone - and recalled the good times. Now I can look at the garden with my Sting whose middle name is after my Aussie - and remember him. Maybe this will help you also in your grief.
