Sad Day

I'm finding it hard to write this today.  Our dear little Chubbs passed away this morning.  He got ill yesterday afternoon.   I thought a trip to the Vet this morning would be the ticket but he got really bad through the night and passed around 7am.   He was such a sweet, gentle old soul.  We rescued him from a shelter in November of 2015, right before Thanksgiving.  He had been a stray and they didn't know his name, age, or health history.  But I saw his sweet face and knew he was for us.  I was glad he was older because most folks won't adopt an old dog.  Even though we only had a short time with him we tried to make it the best times ever.  He traveled with us and enjoyed all the family gatherings.  I will truly miss his howl in the morning when I would come downstairs and hearing his snoring at night.  I will miss how happy he always was when we walked in the door and our special walks around town and especially the cemetery where he could just go and explore.  He didn't ask for much except love and we gave him tons of that.   RIP dear Chubbie....we'll never forget you.  Say hi to your old buddy Eddy for us.

Oh No, YaYa!

I am crushed to learn that your dear Chubbsie has passed away! The dog you rescued and made your pet was indeed a sweet and gentle soul. In the short time you owned him and displayed his picture on your blog, I came to love him as much as you. Please remember that you saved Chubbs from a lonely and miserable existence, gave him a good home surrounded by happy people. You gave him food, shelter and lots of love. What a lucky dog he was! I am certain that at this very moment my buddies Chubbs and Eddy are romping and playing together on Rainbow Bridge (with my Toto).

God bless you, dear YaYa!

I'm so sorry, Kathy. Thank you for giving Chubbs such a happy life while he was with you. I saw your post on FB and rushed to your blog to find details. It's been quite a while since I've read anyone's blogs. I have to do some catch up reading now.
Praying for comfort for you and Jack.)

Oh I am so sorry about Chubbs. His stories on your blog had us all in love with him, from when you first rescued him to all his exciting outings and him just chillin' out at home. I know you will miss him so. I will miss seeing him on your blog too. Our fur babies are family.
