This past week has been the worst ever for Squirrel and I. My Ladd and her BB had to go to "doggy heaven". BB died Friday 9/15/06 and Ladd on Saturday 9/16/06.
Ladd was diagnosed with a bad heart last summer. He had been taking heart meds twice a day. My vet said he had 1 or 2 good years left back then. He would still run, play, and torment Grace.
This past week he stopped eating. I started giving him Ensure mixed with baby cereal. I spent this past week laying on the floor with him, telling him what a good handsome Ladd he was. Ladd had the sweetest nature about him. All he ever wanted was to be wherever I was.
Ladd was 16 yrs. and BB was 14 yrs. They were boyfriend and girlfriend. Everytime we would get them together they would play, sleep, eat, and drink together. I would grab his leash and say "let's go see BB" and he would run around in circles jumping in the air.
Anytime I would order pizza I would tell him "pizza man's coming" . He loved the pizza man. He would always go to the front door, sit, and wait. When he heard his car door he would look at me like he was saying "he's here, he's here!"
I miss him bad.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Manny.
They lived and died together. How beautiful.
It's great to see you back.
I'm so sorry Manny!
Winters-Thanks. I don't know how often I'll post, but I have to pull myself out of the funk this has caused.
Milky-You are the sweetest. Thank you.
That's a hard deal there Manny, been there. You think your heart will never heal, but it does eventually. If I remember correctly, didn't you or Crab tell me, this dog was from your Mother? Long time...lotsa love.
So...I put your blogroll back on and spruced it up a little LOL, you can email me with other links you want on there if you'd like...glad you are back.
Milky-Thanks alot. I wasn't going to ask to do it again, but I am sooo very happy you did.
Yes, Ladd was my mom's dog. Crab bought him for her back in 1990 right around this time of year. At first I was mad at him because my childhood dog of 19 yrs. died on Easter Sunday. I loved Snoopy and wanted to be loyal to her. I don't even remember how I ended up with Ladd after mom's death. I'm glad I was the one he ended up with. NO MORE DOGS for me.
You are veddy welcome, ask anytime. I don't mind a bit.
I understand the wait, or the never again, totally. It took seven years after my Popcorn Poodle was killed to even begin to think of letting another animal into my heart.
I am so sorry to hear about Ladd, Manny. I know he was and always will be a big part of your life. Just think how much joy you brought into his life.
Big *hugs* for you Manny. I have never had a pet myself because I know some day they will no longer be with me. Instead I think I should look at it as the joy that could be shared together even if only for a little while.
Take care my friend and I am so happy to see you back.
Wow, what Winter's wrote was really nice. I hadn't thought of it that way.
Hang in there, kiddo. You'll always miss him but it does get better.
Somehow we accidentally linked you twice at the field. LOL! We're so efficient.
K, back to work for me. I may die before this floor is done. I'll definitely be hunched in the back. And possibly walk about with dented knees.
Wow! Nice new digs! This looks awesome!
K, gotta run....aGAIN!
Manny, it's good to see you back. I'm so sorry about Ladd. He was such a sweet little guy. I know you are going to miss him and it hurts but take it from me, one of these days you'll think of something silly he did and smile. Then things will start to get better.
