In Memory of my Clive 5/4/98 - 1/26/08

Clive is his young days at the lake. One of his favorite places to be.

Clive went peacefully to the Rainbow Bridge this morning at his home. Everyone's kind words have been read and appreciated. I have no more words to express the loss I feel from my little baby. He was the best little furbaby ever. He always wanted to please me -- and he did. Clive is now playing with his brother, Buster, in heaven. I can only imagine what a wonderful reunion that was.







We will miss all our new friends. I'll start another blog and keep visiting you all often.

Love, Kathy

Thank you all

Wow. I can't believe the outpouring of support for my beautiful Clive. Thank you all for your words of support and encouragement. You've no idea how much it helps at times like this.



Clive is not doing well. I'll save all the details because I'm sort of tired of talking about them. I'm exhausted physically (he's up all night) and mentally. I've decided against chemo for Clive, so we'll just make sure he is comfortable as he can be. Not the way I expected to spend my birthday today.

I wanted, and started, to write each person personally to thank them for their kind words, but it is too much at this time, so please know I've read all your notes to us. Extra hugs to your furbabies tonight.

Hugs & licks, Kathy & Clive

Been gone a while......

Clive's mom hijacking the post today. I haven't posted in a while because I have been very stressed out. Clive has had some health issues going on. At first we suspected urine crystals and maybe kidney stones. He had the crystals but nothing that should be causing his complications with urination and "the other". The frequency that he needs to do potties has gone up quite a bit and last night he had me up 5 times. He stands with his leg up forever and yet doesn't urinate a whole lot.



We had yet another visit to the vet today for another barrage of tests and was poked and prodded all over. I received the worst news I could get. Clive has a tumor on his urethra. It is inoperable. He could take chemo drugs to shrink the tumor but it won't get rid of it and may not necessarily relieve his condition. The drugs will likely make him sick/nauseous.

I am devestated, to say the least. It's been an emotional day and I just need a little emotional support I guess.

Here is Clive glad to be home from the vet and enjoying a chewie.





Extra hugs to your babies tonight.
Kathy

We Got an Award!

We were awarded a great award twice! A big thank you to Tasha and Eva's World and also Princess Isis for this award!




We have been enjoying getting to know all of our new friends and we're having a blast sharing our blog with everyone.

Walking on Water

The weather today was so nice that we took a walk to Parker's Lake.



Actually, we took a walk ON Parker's Lake.





They shovel off a small section of the lake for skaters.



This is Clive watching a little girl and her daddy skating.



When we look out the other way onto the lake you can see ice fishers. The ice is too thin for them to drive their cars out there, but usually you will see lots of ice houses and cars out on the ice.



Not only did I walk on water today, I layed on it too!!

Saturday Night Clive

Today started out tough with a trip to the vet where I got 3 shots PLUS an anal exam. Ouch! I cried really loud but it was over fast. After we got home I rested and then Mommy took me out for walkies. It was in the 30's today, so a much needed break from that cold that freezes my feet.



The closer we get to home the more I stall. I like to just stop and sit in the snowbank.



Then I dig my face in the snow. It feels so good!







Here I am on Christmas Day with my cousin Alyx. She used to be scared of me when she was little. Now she is so big!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!
