Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Jemma, aka the best dog in the world, is gone. Like other dobermans I've known, she always wolfed down her food -- until a week or two before her death, when she became very picky and then started to refuse food. The vets thought she had a cancerous tumor on her spleen, and I've been hearing anecdotally about quite a few dogs who have recently had rapid declines from suspected cancer (not related to poisoned kibble from China-sourced ingredients, either). She had just turned 11, which is getting old for big dogs, but we thought she'd have at least another year. (And yes, she was a rescue.)

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm very sorry to hear your sad news. The death of a pet leaves a big hole in the family. Our little budgie died two or three years ago, and I still miss him very much. It is good to remember that you made Jemma happy, and looked after her well.
