My Pug Scoop (Precious Scoop has passed... )

Vicki: So sorry Archie is having such a hard time. I would think animals could have allergies just like humans. Maybe the company would have some idea if this is what it is and can advise you on what to do. I think about you often and know this is going to be a hard holiday season for you since Scoop is gone. We are doing the best we can, just trying to get through it, but i try to remember my little CoCo was so sick and he is at peace now, but we are still sad, but know time will lessen the hurt somewhat since I have lost 3 doxies in the past, but for some reason this loss seems to hurt more. Hope you have a good holiday season with your family and sweet pets. Love, JoAnne

Vicki:
I am so sorry you are facing this with Archie and I pray when Gus gets his shot everything goes alright. You did not need this after what you have been through. Blessings
Patti

JoAnne, Thank you so much. Yes, it is tough when my thoughts turn to Scoop. Archie and Gus keep me busy but I still think of Scoop often. The holidays are hard.
I hope you have a good holiday as well.
Hugs

Patti, Thank you. I think of you and Tipper often and pray that she is doing well.
Hugs

Vicki:
I hope you can have some glimmer of happiness with the babies for Christmas. I know how hard this will be for you. I hope Archie is doing better, and that you are able to enjoy him instead of so much worry about his health. You are a good mom so he has the best possible home he could have. Blessings
Patti

Hugs Vicki!

We always miss those who have gone during the holidays. I just can't seem to get in the spirit this year which is a first for me.

Patti, Sharlene, Valerie,
Thank you. This is Archie and Gus' first Christmas and they are going to be spoiled like little kids. I look forward to that but when my thoughts turn to Scoop it is so hard thinking he isn't going to be here to enjoy the holiday with Raleigh, Archie and Gus and all of his family.
I put a few pictures in an album from Christmas 2009. I have some other Christmas pictures but don't have them loaded in my computer. I will have to do that when I have time.
Archie's problems are still not straightened out and that worries me.

Happy holidays to everyone.
Love and hugs

Vicki:
I will be thinking of you with your babies this holiday and thinking of your precious Scoop. I know he is looking down on his mom, and hoping you are able to enjoy some of Christmas. Blessings
Patti

Thinking of you , sweetie.

Hi Viciki,

thinking of you and remember Scoop this holiday season.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Thank you everyone for remembering and thinking of my Scoop and all the well wishes for me and my boys.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Hugs

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

Vicki:
I hope you did too, as I thought of all the cush mom's and their babies. Blessings
Patti

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and the whole gang really enjoyed the day.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Patti and Sharlene, Thank you.
Raleigh, Archie and Gus enjoyed all their new toys and enjoyed having company. They had a little something special to eat. I took a chance and gave Archie some too. It's been over a week since he had any diarrhea. They had a special can of dog food that they shared. It was Christmas Day Dinner by Merrick. I didn't give Archie too much but they also had a bit of roast beef. Thank goodness he did not get diarrhea. He's been on Iams prescription diet.

My son had a calendar made for us. He put pictures of Scoop, Raleigh, Archie, Gus, his dog that passed away a couple of years ago, Mugzy, and his current dog, Comet, in the calendar. When I saw it, it made me cry.

It was a happy day watching Raleigh, Archie and Gus enjoy the day and also my grand daughter enjoying her new toys. Then there were times I thought of Scoop and tears would come to my eyes. So I had mixed emotions that day.

Vicki:
The calendar was a wonderful gift. I am glad you got to enjoy part of the holiday with the new babies and Raleigh. I knew Scoop would be on your mind, but you did your best to give the babies a good time, and have fun with your grand daughter. Blessings
Patti

Sounds like a wonderful day and a wonderful gift.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Patti and Sharlene.
I hope you had a nice Christmas.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Tonight it is 6 months since Scoop has been gone. It is still hard to believe.

Vicki:
I am just holidays are past. It is hard with no family. I am just blessed to have Tipper and that is all I am focusing on as it take all my time now that she has hurt her leg. This has become more than a full time job, but I will gladly do it for her. I am hoping you are able to get that business stopped with Archie spraying, that cannot be fun. I know these holidays were hard on you, and I hope the New Year brings you some much needed peace that you so deserve. Blessings
Patti

Patti, Thank you

Archie had blood work done last Friday. I got the results today.
I posted the highs and lows on the Everything Else thread.
If anyone has any comments about them I would love to hear them.
Thanks

Vicki:
I am hoping that you can get that poor baby Archie straightened out somehow. I feel so bad that you are again dealing with an illness in one of your babies. Blessings
Patti

Patti, Thank you.

Does anyone have pet insurance?
If so, what company?
Thanks

Vicki,

if you have access to the magazine or online website for Consumer Reports, please search for what they have to say about pet insurance.

It's great for some and fairly useless to others. I'd hate to have you throw money away.

Vicki:
Do a search for a site that compares the pet insurances and it will show which is best. I do not think any take pre-existing conditions though. I am sorry Archi continues to have problems, poor little thing. This is not something you need either after all you have been thru. Blessings
Patti

Happy Easter Vicki. I think of you and your furbabies often and pray y'all are doing good.

Sending lots of love,
Donna

Vicki:
Thinking of you and the boys and hoping for a Happy Easter for you all. How is Archie? Blessings
Patti

July 1-one year ago 11:10PM I got a call that my Scoop went into cardiac arrest while he was in the hospital. It is like it was just yesterday. It still hurts. He is thought of and missed every day.
He is and always will be loved very much.

Scoop-LOVE YOU
Mom, Dad, Molly, Raleigh, Archie, Gus

Hi Vicki, I saw the email of your anniversary & want you to know that my Linda & I are remembering your struggles with Scoop over a year ago as we did our Lulu. Time certainly has a way of reminding us. It does get easier as time goes by, and we had a milestone with our new dog Stanley, and just four days ago was his one year anniversary being at our home. He has taken over both our heart as well as our property. It's his!

I have been busy with learning a new computer language (actually updated for the 21st century). It's a 1200 dollar 3 day class, the company gave me for free. I guess they felt I was very eager to learn, and I am since my last job with a company using the software laid me off. They refuse to update, which is their choice but then they also are going a different route, so they no longer wanted my services.

I am very hopeful this will be the best option for me to keep ahead and to be rehired. Hopefully, this time it will allow me to work at home most of the time.

Well, I hope you can have a good memorial of Scoop & look at his pictures, especially of the days he was the happiest being with you and your other dog.

How are you other dogs doing today? :)

Hi Vicki:
Just remembering how we started on here almost together, and your sweet baby Scoop, and all the struggles you went thru. I honestly do not believe it is a year already. I know in your heart Scoop will live on forever. I think of you both a lot, and wish things had been different. These poor babies are so fragile from this disease, but they keep fighting on. Please know I wish I could take your pain away. You will be with Scoop again one day and he will be healthy once again. Blessings
Patti

Hi Vicki,

Just want you to know that I am especially thinking of you and sweet Scoop today. I know how hard these anniversaries can be, and I am sending you hugs and warm thoughts across the miles.

We will never forget your sweet boy, and how brave he was each and every day of his life.

Always in loving memory of Scoop, and always in honor of your devoted care,
Marianne

Hi Vicki,

Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Always in loving memory of dear Scoop.

Love and hugs, Lori

Hi Vicki,

This anniversary is one no one wants to remember, but can't forget. ;) You, Scoop and all of your precious babies are in my thoughts and prayers today. Always in memory of Scoop. xxxxxx

Hugs,
Kathy

Some anniversaries are harder than others and this one has to be one of the harder ones. Sending love and hugs your way

Sharlene and molly muffin

Still thinking about you today, Vicki, and sending you warm hugs.

Marianne

Vicki:
I left a message on Archie and Gus's thread for you and lit a candle for Scoop. I am so sorry you are faced with yet another dilemma with Raleigh's eyes. I am glad you are going to try to do the one as at least he will be able to see and have a decent quality of life. Thinking of you and saying a prayer for sweet Scoop. Blessings
Patti

Hugs Vicki,
I know the pain that you're feeling all too well. Hugs

Dear Vicki
Sending you loving thoughts in remembrance of your precious Scoop.
May he be watching over you.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
