Tiga's_mom Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Tiga's best friend Rowan (a rottie) passed away this morning. We are all very sad. We knew it was coming as she was diagnosed with cancer in January. Last night we went over for a visit not knowing how quickly she went downhill. Once we got there her owners told us that she'd had a bad evening and if they could get her in this morning then she was being PTS. They called first thing this morning and Rowan passed away in the car on the way to the vet. We got to say our goodbye's last night. I'm not sure how Tiga will react when we go there now. I know he's going to miss her just as much as we will if not more. Rest in peace honey. You are loved and missed by everyone that met you. Thank you for letting me have the honor to have loved you.

juliepoudrier Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 My thoughts will be with Rowan's family. Cancer seems to take a lot of rotties. It's a shame. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thank you Julie. I know they'll appreciate it. This was my first time dealing with cancer in an animal. It all happened very quickly. We brought Tiga over there tonight. He didn't stop looking for her the whole time we were there. He was acting very confused. I wish we could explain it to him.

aBC4me Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh I'm so sorry for your and Tiga's loss. Rowan's family and you and Tiga will surely be in my prayers. I hope that you all are able to find peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thank you very much. I can find peace in the fact that I know she's not suffering now. I'm not crying every time I think about her now. But we can't even say her name around Tiga because he thinks we're going to see her. How do you explain death to a dog?
