Dude is gone :-(

It is with lots of tears and a super heavy heart I announce Dude is no longer with us. Yesterday he starting have terrible seizures and blood coming from his nose, eyes, and ears...he had a huge brain tumor we didn't know about. There was nothing that could be done. He was an estimated 13 years old. We loved on him for a few hours then let him go. I want to thank all of you for the support and help you have given us though this whole ordeal. Without you guys we would not have gotten the awesome extra months that we did! RIP Dude...we loved you so much!

I am so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful furry family member. From the photos I can tell that he was a cherished family member and I know how heart broken you all must be. My thoughts are with you.

Looks like he already lived in Dog Heaven so he should be alright.

Awww... what a sweetheart. I'm so sorry for your loss. But glad his time on earth was spent with you and your family. He ended up in the right household for sure.

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) I surely do remember Dude. What a fighter.

You gave him such an awesome life, then granted him the release he needed. What more could a doggie ask for? He is waiting for you in Heaven, I believe that with all my heart.

I am so sorry for your loss, Lindsay.
