my dear dog
Saturday I went to the veterinary surgeon with my dog Roef because he was a bit ill. This afternoon I got a call from the veterinary surgeon telling that my dog is very ill. He has cancer. We are all very sad. This news has frightened us very much. Our dog Roef is more than a dog, he is like our child, like the brother of my sons. So my dear friends, today I am very sad. My dog was always so happy, he has had such a good life with us. And now we are waiting till the end. It will be a sad spring and summer.

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog. We've all experienced this with our pets. It's not easy and even worse to watch. I hope you find peace and comfort soon enough. :hug

I'm sorry to hear about your dog being very sick, Marthe. I've never had dogs, but I've always had cats and I know how much part of a family a pet can become, so I can relate to the sadness you're feeling right now. :hug

Many hugs to you Marthe. Many of us understand how a dog is more than a pet, but a part of the family. I hope you will be able to share many close moments with Roef before his passing.

Thank you so much dear friends, for your support and understanding words. Some people will say that it is just a dog but to those I will tell that my dog is more human and understanding than some men. Yesterdayevening when I got home I have told it to my husband Andre and my sons Tom and Geert and to their girlfriends. They are all very sad. I was a strange evening looking to Roef and thinking that in a couple of months he will not be sitting with us no longer. I do not realize it yet and I am afraid for that moment. I am also afraid to tell it to my mother. Roef is also her best friend and since my father died, Roef keeps her a lot of company while we are working. Like you all say, we must make the best with Roef of his remaining days. Love Marthe

Marthe, I am very sorry to hear this. I had a dog in the seventies and I still think of him to this day. So, I can certainly relate to what you are going through. Keep us posted, Gina

Dear friends, it is a sad Easter. My dog Roef has died this morning. Last week he had good and bad days. He suffered from the water that he had in his abdomen. Yesterday he was not good at all. We went to my mother with him like every saturday. He was to weak to jump in our car. My mother saw that he was ill, but I did not told her the bad news that he had cancer. Last night he had difficulty with breathing. I think I have slept four hours. I was always watching over him. This morning he had to vomit the water he had dronk. He lied down and I picked him up. And then he felt down and he was dead. I have cried all morning. My husband and sons are also very sad. Then we have told it to my mother. She is now here with us because I do not want to let her alone. This afternoon we will bury Roef. Sory for my words but today live sucks. Easter will always be a sad memory.

I'm sorry to hear your beloved Roef died this morning. I can understand how sad an Easter this is for you and your family and I know it wouldn't be comforting to tell you that at least you had not to see him suffer for a long time. I :hug you, Marthe.

You sound so sad Marthe, I take it you and your family really loved the dog and will cherish the fond memories.

Gaffer'sGirl- 03-23-2008

Marthe - I'm so sorry to hear your news. Though it is harder on you, I'm sure Roef was comforted having you there in his last moments. :hug to you and your family througout the coming days.

Marthe I am sorry to hear that your dog has died. Your family must be very sad right now. :hug Think of good days you had shared with Roef, and although it will be hard it is comforting to know that he lived a happy life with you.

StevieT- 03-24-2008

I'm sorry, Marthe. You have lost a dear friend. My heart goes out to you. :hug
