Thanks everyone for your kind words and compasion. It's been almost 2 months since my buddy passed and it's still not easy. In fact it's a litter harder now since I am home. Its hard being home and he's not here. He was going to be my co-pilot since he loved traveling as much as I do. My wife suggested that I look for another friend but I don't think I'm ready for that.

Come late Friday afternoon, things were looking worse so my wife called the Vet to bring him in. At 7am on Saturday, my wife called me and told me she was not waiting for his 10am appointment and was taking him in immediately.

By 830am my wife called and handed the phone to the Vet. The Vet said that after a series of tests, Bucky was showing signs of cancer. They were unable to pin point where the cancer was at this time, but that it was so aggressive that it was attacking his red blood cells. The Vet said that normally a dog has between 30-50% red blood cell count and Bucky had only 8%. In order to run more tests and try to determine where the cancer is, he would need an emergeny blood transfusion and that there was no guarantee it would help.

After a long discussion with the Vet as to what our options were and what would be best for Bucky, I had to make an extremely difficult decision. At 1045am on Saturday, my pet, my best friend and family member of 10+ years was put to sleep. I wasn't even there to say goodbye

He is in a better place now and that he will ALWAYS be in my heart. I LOVE YOU BUCKY!
am sorry for your lose. It seemed crazy to me why I bawled my eyes out when I lost my 2 dogs within like the last 3 years. One I couldn't see for a while and they dump him off so I can see him just to die . That just killed me as I told them don't tell me if anything happens to him cause it would drive me crazy. FYI : I was forced to give him away due to my landlord. I bawled and cried and cried and did not realize the attatchment we have with our dogs.I remember being at work and not able to control my tears as my dog was home dieing. I now have a different aspect of losing a dog (these was my first dogs to lose and was in my adult hood life, so first timer for me).

I have now gotten over it, but still wonder how he is doing and I know he is in heaven with his buddy scooter and they are taking over dog heaven. I will prey they take care of your dog and make sure he is happy!

God bless and everything will be fine. He is probably in less pain.

I learned the pain of losing a pet early on in life. The best dog I ever had never attained full adulthood. He always had to be into every thing you were doing. Because of that he got hit in the head with a digging instrument (it was a LONG time ago I don't remember which one it was) while my brother was digging a hole. He didn't make it thru the winter. I found him one morning dead in his dog house. I knew he was sick and getting sicker, but nothing we could do to help him. Another dog died of heart worms, vet couldn't save him.

Whats worse is growing up on a farm and being very very poor we put our own animals to sleep if it needed to be done. I can do it to put a beloved pet out of pain and misery, but I really think a small part of you will die inside every time it happens. I am glad I am no longer that broke that I can't afford to have the vet do it.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. And to think that you weren't even there to say goodbye to your faithfully buddy. Don't worry, he knew just how much that you loved him.
