Sad Day in Deerland...........Farewell my faithful friends.

Hello Friends.  This is not going to be an easy post for any of us.  For those of you who come out to Deerland, you know that we have Four (yes Four) pugs.  Three boys, one girl......Sammy is 12 1/2, Kuji is 6, Joey is 4 and Mags is 1 1/2.  Today we had to say good by to two of our faithful companions.....Not one but two.....No dog owner should ever loose two in one day.  My heart is heavy as I type.  Grief consumes me.  My heart is broken.  As you know Sammy has been sick for some time.  It was his time and we are sure that it was the right thing to do.  He is happy, running and playing with Kyla in Pug Heaven right now.  Kuji's passing was quite unexpected.  Three years ago when we adopted him, he had a malignant tumor on his right back leg.  We elected then to have it removed and hope for the best.  Well, we had three WONDERFUL years.  Last week, our little guy just wasnt behaving like himself and even stopped playing with Mags......his playful buddy.  Eating was not first on his agenda and often he was getting sick after eating.   Tuesday night he had a siezure and I was up all night with hm.  Went to see the Doctor (our Fabulous Doctor) for a look over.  Well.....we lost on the time clock.  The cancer was back and it effected his, stomach, liver, spleen and possibly his brain.  Our doctor said that he would not survive the week as sick as he was.  The right thing to do was to make it so he was in no pain no matter how much pain we felt.    He was so sweet and brave.  So friends.....say a little prayer for my faithful companions.  They are both in a better place without pain and sickness.
