Sylvie March 17th, 2012, 08:30 AM Last month we found out Kobe has lymphoma
Our beautiful boy is near the end. It has been a hard month. My feelings have been all over the place. He is not doing well today and we know we will have to make the decision very soon.
BenMax March 17th, 2012, 09:25 AM Sylvie...I am deeply sorry.:(.
All I can say is that I wish you strength and alot of prayer.
I know you are loving up Kobe as much as possible.
Just many :grouphug: to you dear friend.
I wish and pray for his gentle transition.
Rgeurts March 17th, 2012, 09:29 AM Oh Sylvie :( :cry:
I'm so very sorry you are going through this. You, Kobe and your family have my thoughts and prayers. I hope his transition is as peaceful as my Thorin's was. If you need anything at all, please let me know. :2huggers:

pbpatti March 17th, 2012, 09:54 AM Sylvie, Hugs and prayers from our home to yours. :pray::grouphug:
Sylvie March 17th, 2012, 11:44 AM Thank you everyone, it is so nice to have friends that understand.
Winston March 17th, 2012, 02:39 PM Sylvie I wish there was something I could say to ease the pain you are feeling. You are dear to my heart and I too struggle to figure out why? You and DH have saved countless lives, fostered MANY dogs and what I struggle with is why does this happen to folks that are such wonderful people? Although I know our pets wont live forever I guess I wish for you to have more time with each of yours if that makes sense.
Kobe is a beautiful boy and he will take a piece of my heart with him too!
You know we are here for you if you and DH need anything. Enjoy every moment with Kobe and I wish you both peace with your decision. :grouphug:

hazelrunpack March 17th, 2012, 04:42 PM I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, Sylvie. :grouphug: He's a lucky boy to have you as parents to watch over him and help ease him through his transition. Give him a gentle hug from me and know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
breeze March 17th, 2012, 07:14 PM I'm so sorry that you and your hubby and Kobe are going through this
you all will be in my thoughts and prayers

Goldfields March 17th, 2012, 10:01 PM Having known my friend's GSD only a short time I really don't know how people cope with losing them. Wonderful intelligent, loyal dogs. You have my deepest sympathy, Sylvie, 8 years is not enough time for Kobe, it must be heart breaking.
cpietra16 March 18th, 2012, 10:48 AM I am so sorry you are going through this. I can say so many things right now, but I know that what ever I say will never ease the pain you are living right now. My thoughts are with you...:(
Sylvie March 19th, 2012, 11:03 PM We are on a roller coaster ride. This morning we thought we would be losing him today or tomorrow and this afternoon he was his old self. He actually asked for dinner. He hasn't been eating properly for 2 weeks now and is so thin.
When I came home from work tonight, he ran up from the back of the yard to see me. Yesterday he could hardly make it up the small incline in the back. :shrug:
It is a day to day emotional journey.
hazelrunpack March 19th, 2012, 11:48 PM I'm glad he rallied for you today! Sending some :goodvibes: that he's with you for more time than you expect. :grouphug:
marko March 20th, 2012, 08:05 AM I'm so sorry you are going through this Sylvie, I know how hard this is.
Here's some good vibes and I hope they last a little while :goodvibes: :goodvibes: :goodvibes: :fingerscr
BenMax March 20th, 2012, 09:06 AM Just soak it all up Sylvie. Thinking of you.:grouphug:
Dog Dancer March 20th, 2012, 10:13 AM Sylvie, I just saw this thread. I am so sorry to hear about Kobe. How heart wrenching for you to be going through this with him. He knows you are there for him though and that you will not do wrong by him. He trusts you to know what is best. Bless you and your husband for being there for all these dogs Sylvie. You are a wonderful soul and there will be a special place in heaven for you and hubby and your wonderful pets.
I'm glad Kobe rallied some for you. I know I don't need to tell you, but stay strong and enjoy every moment you have, even in sadness they will give you wonderful memories. Hugs to you my friend and a sweet gentle hug for Kobe. He has known love and will take it with him when it's time. My heart breaks for you.
Sylvie March 20th, 2012, 12:02 PM Thank you everyone for your support. It really does help.
I am cherishing every moment that we have with him. He is such a gentle soul and I keep telling him that we will take care of his sister for him. She will truly miss him. as we all will.

growler~GateKeeper March 21st, 2012, 10:42 PM I just saw this now, Sylvie I'm so sorry :grouphug:
Duffy also dealt with Lymphoma and some days they feel great others are so much harder and when they won't eat that makes even the smallest effort to lay in a different spot so difficult for both them & for us to watch them struggle.
I wish you strength & peace :grouphug:
Jim Hall March 22nd, 2012, 08:42 AM wishing good vibes this morning
Sylvie March 22nd, 2012, 09:46 AM Thank you everyone again. He is still with us but not sure for how long. Probably just a couple of more days. He is refusing to eat anything. Unfortunately, our day together yesterday did not turn out the way we had planned. I will update later, as I am at work now.
Dog Dancer March 22nd, 2012, 10:19 AM Thinking of you and Kobe today my friend. Hugs.
Sylvie March 22nd, 2012, 08:55 PM Unfortunately Kobe is not doing well. Will not eat anything and he is down to skin and bones. He is having trouble walking and his breathing is getting bad. We have made an appointment for tomorrow.
Shaykeija March 22nd, 2012, 09:59 PM I am so sorry to hear this....I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow....:grouphug:

Sylvie March 23rd, 2012, 09:09 AM It is so comforting to have all of you to talk to,as I know you all understand.
Dog Dancer March 23rd, 2012, 09:59 AM Sylvie, thinking of you today. You and Kobe are in my prayers. :grouphug:
Rgeurts March 23rd, 2012, 07:46 PM Sylvie, what a difficult thing to watch. We went through the same thing with Thorin. He would have some great days, then some really horrible ones. Just when we would think it was time, he would rally and be ok for a few more. It's such an emotional roller coaster :( :(
You are all in my thoughts and prayers :grouphug:
Winston March 23rd, 2012, 09:26 PM :grouphug: Thinking of you MF :grouphug:
sandyrivers March 23rd, 2012, 09:27 PM Hi,

Dog Dancer March 27th, 2012, 12:02 PM Sorry for those of you who didn't see the other thread, Kobe has gone to the Bridge. There were no more miracles for sweet Kobe other than going to the bridge in the arms of the people who loved him.
lovepet March 27th, 2012, 12:52 PM Sorry for those of you who didn't see the other thread, Kobe has gone to the Bridge. There were no more miracles for sweet Kobe other than going to the bridge in the arms of the people who loved him.
Oh my... really feeling bad
