Laney, RIP sweet girl
Laney was born on April 4, 2004 and my life instantly brightened when I brought her home on May 15th that same year. She made me laugh and feel loved every day, and her light shined for 14 years. I held her as she passed away on May 7, 2018 and now her light shines down from the Rainbow Bridge, where she and I will meet one day and I will never have to let her go again. Until that day comes, I will treasure her and all the memories, and will miss her beyond measure. Mama loves and misses you my sweet, little friend, my Teeny, Tiny, Tippy Toes!

Mojo in MA
Last night Mojo passed away. Two weeks ago, he became suddenly very sick. We took him to Tufts, and they determined he had a large cyst on his liver. They did the surgery to remove it, but, then his kidneys shut down. They got that under control and normal again, but then he developed reflux which they treated, but, it eventually caused aspiration pneumonia, and there just wasn't anything they could do to get it under control....he will be sadly missed by all Bock family

Gidget

Gidget was adopted 8 years ago...8/2010.  On Saturday, 2/24/18, she left us unexpectedly...she had been recently diagnosed with Cushings...2 weeks before she passed she had had a bad seizure.  She recovered but sadly  2 weeks later  she had a very bad seizure and did not recover from it -- we had to take her to the local emergency room where she died in my arms.  She was so shy at first but quickly warmed up and was by my side all the time.  Gidget loved her brother Harley who passed on 10/09/17...a part of her missed him...during the day she would lay on the couch in front of him...like his protector.  Lucky for her she still had a little brother who filled the void that Harley left.  My little girl will be missed and hopefully she has found Harley and we will see them both when they cross over the bridge to greet us...

Tulula aka Lulu RIP sweet girl
i am so sorry to tell you that tallulah, whom i renamed lulu, died yesterday. she had a tumor on her spleen, which even if benign would have required life-threatening surgery. since she was 14 when it was diagnosed, i decided that i wasn't going to put her thru that or any other difficult treatment. the vet assured me that she was not in pain either when she was diagnosed or when she died. i adopted her from your group seven years ago, when she was 7 yrs old. she was unfailingly sweet, funny, smart, and loving. thank you for letting me share seven wonderful yrs with her. if you are still in contact with her original family, i would consider it a great courtesy if you would let them know that she was dearly loved for the rest of her life after they had to surrender her. it was obvious to me that she had been well cared for by her original family. -- susie margaret ross

Mini
“I adopted my sweet Mini form AADR in January 2011 and loved her dearly until the day I had to let her go in October 2017. Mini was very afraid and a total fear-biter when she came to me. She would not let my husband or me go near her for several weeks. It became my mission to teach this little dog the meaning of trust. It was so very rewarding to watch this sweet little dog learn to love and trust. Mini was a difficult dog to care for because she had so much fear anxiety and the only way she knew to deal with that fear was to growl and bite! Over time, with lots of assurance and love, she learned to trust us, which totally warmed our hearts. She loved her walks and knew without a doubt that we were there for her in all situations. She even got to where she would easily let the vet and vet techs handle her. I miss her so much! Mini somehow developed a horrible brain tumor which grew very fast to the point where she hardly knew where she was. Although the vet said she was not in too much pain, she always knew where she was when she was safe in my arms. She loved me so much and I loved her even more! She was a beautiful dog and I was blessed to have been able to transform her into a sweet loving dog.”
