Blue Doggy

[STEVSH]

We lost our Blue Doggy last month after 12 wonderful years. She was our catahoula mix, and the best dog I've ever owned. I'm just now able to talk about it. She had hemangiosarcoma, and we didn't realize anything was wrong until it was too late. Blood tests every six months always came back healthy, and she would always run around with Topaz and chase squirrels. Right up until a Friday afternoon when she started acting almost drunk like. Then she stopped eating. So I took her in and she was internally bleeding due to the mass rupturing in her abddomen. Nothing we could do. Three days before that, she was chasing Topaz around the house to get her to play. So being so sudden like that, it hit us hard. RIP baby.
Topaz (our mastiff mix) has been doing OK. She kept looking for Blue for the first few weeks, but now has moved on. Plus she gets her antler and treats back because there isn't another dog to fight over goodies with.

RIP Blue! Wow, you just went through so much, so suddenly, and I am so sorry for your loss. Blue was quite the handsome boy.

My heart goes out to you and your family.
The sudden loss of a faithful family member is such a hard thing to go through.
RIP Blue run. Free.

Thanks All. She was "momma dog" for sure. I thought for sure she would make it to 15 or 16, just with her acting so young with Topaz. Topaz kept her active, even with her spinal arthritis. She had days where she would be in the play bow growling at Topaz to get up off that darn bed and come and chase me. Watching an 11 yr old dog do that to a 3 yr old lazy butt dog was hilarious. Now Topaz is getting lazier every day, so you can really tell how much of an affect Blue was on her.

I'm sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful girl.
