Thanks everyone, Bo was truly a great dog and a great friend. He's with Star and his mother, Lady, now. I love you Bo and you will always be in my heart.

Sorry Hooli. You know my thoughts/prayers are with you.

I can't think of anything else to say.

Hooli,

I know your pain. Only time will heal, and then the memories will make you smile.

Like everyone else Hooli, I am very sorry. I have two companions myself and know how I feel about them. My prayers are with you.

Though Lady was never diagnosed with cancer of the liver and spleen, her symptoms were virtually identical to Bo's; mass in the abdomen, refusal to eat, etc. She waited 'til the last minute to show symptoms and by the time she did, she had a collapsed lung and her chest and abdominal cavities were full of fluid. Bo never reached that state, but was on the way when he was put to sleep yesterday. Because of Lady and Bo, I took Dew in for a full blood panel this morning. Vet just called and test results are nearly identical to Bo's of a month ago. No symptoms yet; when Dew, my little garbage disposal, loses her appetite that will be a world class scoop. Now comes the waiting...

Take Dew, treat her like the queen that she is! She's the last of a group that has been your constant companions since they were nothing more than a bunch of rat-like creatures making puddles on your floor. Sit back, think of all the bad, yes bad, things she has done over the years: they are usually the most memorable and the most endearing! Then think about the good times. Most of all: Cherish the time you've had!
Hooli, my heart goes out to you Crying or Very sad

You've had more than your share of losses over the last few months. May the good Lord watch over both of you.
And just remember, when you get to Rainbow Bridge, you're gonna get mobbed!
Keep us informed...........

Wow: Hoolie, this really sucks. I can't imagine this is anything but some weird congenital situation. I would imagine that-as a breeder- you have already thought about contacting other breeders/littermates upstream in the gene pool to see if this has appeared elsewhere.

It is difficult to figure out what to say to someone who has suffered a single loss. What do you say to someone who has lost their whole family?

I wish there was some way to help carry this burden for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you. -R

Hooli, this is just plain not fair. Please know that Mrs. Mike & I have you and Dew in our prayers. If there's anything we can do, let us know. Hang in there, my friend.

I wish there was more we could do for you John. But what we can do (hopes/thoughts/prayers) we are doing for you. You have a lot of people who care - and they're all pulling for you and the Hooligans.
