I love the quote from Will Rogers: "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went."
I absolutely agree, no dogs, send me where ever they are. That will be my Heaven.

So sorry for your loss. She looks like a great friend!Thursday, December 15, 2022
Sadly Mary and I had to say goodbye to our baby girl, Ziva Diva. Ziva was 9.5 and was stricken with degenerative myopathy the canine version of ALS in humans.
Thanks to our friends Lisa and Greg who provided her Magna wave treatment’s that gave her relief for three weeks. Unfortunately this disease has no cure and can advanced rapidly as it did with our girl.
We were overwhelmed with the staff at VCA Vet clinic. The techs that had always made a fuss over our girl all came in and sat with us and Z. One of the techs got a call that we were bringing Z in and came to join us on her day off.
Ziva was finally allowed some Hersey kisses and after playing with the first one determined they did taste good and ate at least three or four. When all the techs gathered Z wagged her tail for the first time today, she was happy.
We will miss her, and the house immediately felt empty when we came home with no happy face and tail wagging to great us. Tomorrow will be another day of firsts. I’ll miss that wet nose poking under the covers to let me know it’s time to get her breakfast ready. Rest easy princess, we love you.

We used the Petsmart Top Paw brand for our male dog...worked well. He didn't protest wearing them.
Like cleaning up after a baby — dog can’t help it. It’s a part of life.Thanks for the thought. Her back legs are weak and she can't walk while wearing a diaper.
I have one slowing down now. I just spent the last hour prepping pill pockets and earlier today adding more runner rugs to the house.
When he goes, I am going to be a mess. We don't deserve dogs.
Gary, I know exactly what you are going through. Please accept my warmest condolences.

Can't like that Airport Dog photo enough!Jay,
So sorry for your loss. It’s a brutal process most of us go through at some point but that still doesn’t make it easier.
One of our friends said to us it’s the transfer of love from the fur baby lost to the new pup that will heal your heart.
Mary and I could deal with doing the right thing for Ziva, we own them that much, not to let them suffer. The hardest part is the empty house and their unconditional love at all times.
We decided that we would head to the local shelter and adopt. Our home now is filled with puppy breath and new adventures. Honestly we forgot how much work it is keeping up with an 8 week old, and house breaking. What a work out!
Happy to say she loves the airport, loves to sit and watch the planes taxi in and out. Now to get her in the air.
