Awww, he was so pretty. I'm sorry for your loss. :(
I hope Sassy will be okay.

I called my mom about 20 mins ago and she says she's doing alright, just sulking around a little but realtively happy whenever treats are presented.

I can remember when I walked into the shop to get a puppy. My parents wanted a yorkie that day but when I saw him I threw an outrageous tantrum for them to at least see him up close (and everyone was staring so they had no choice but to see him to shut me up). We went into the little stall and played with him. That's how my parents fell in love with him.

That's good. When my cat lost his sister to cancer, he searched the house every night and cried for her for months.

Aww, it's awesome how you remember getting him. (p.s., I don't like yorkies all too much, so good choice)
How old was he when he passed?

15 years old. He had lung cancer and it caused him to have heart palpitations. Last night it was so bad he stopped breathing and went into convulsions. Mom and dad decided last night it was time. He suffers no more now...

Sassy is also 15 but much healthier and young at heart.

15 is impressive, though. At least he was very much loved.

My dog Ladd is 12 and I'm afraid he won't make it two more years. He's healthy, but he's really slowing down. He's a sheltie.

Awww i love shelties. Small dogs live alot longer than we expect them to. Hopefully he will keep on chugging past your expectations. Smokey passed ours by 5 months.

Surprisingly, shelties are supposed to only live to be 12-13. Ladd's brother/litter mate died last spring. I will be a complete wreck when he dies. I've had him since I was six.

I'm glad you got to have so much time with Smokey. If only our pets could live longer. :(

;-; oh gawd I know!!!

*hugs*
Stupid aging.

>:V I quack at it *quacks*

Smokey's being cremated so...at least he's not gonna have things eating him :/

Haha, quacker.

Well, that's good. Are you going to spread the ashes or keep them?

Mom and Dad are keeping them in a box on the fireplace mantle.

Awh

awwwwwww he's so cute D|. Your worry about Sassy is my same worry with my cat... she lived almost eight years constantly with her sister (she had to be put down in Dec I think I posted about it) but so far she seems to be okay, I still worry a lot because they were together so much. *lots of hugs*

;-; *huuugs* I have a photo album of him as a pup and some pictures of young me with Smokey sitting on top of my back, not letting me off the couch. I also have somewhere a picture of him a few months ago laying protectively against the rocking swing that my daughter was sleeping in.

awww hehe that's awesome that you have those.

I will always treasure them so <3

Oh man I bet. I have one picture of my baby and I'll treasure that tons too. I have some vid also that I took when I was testing my ex's new video camera.... so there's that too. <3

I think I may have some video somewhere. If not I'm going to kick myself for it :s

For a schnauzer, 15 years is amazing. <:) And he had a wonderful life the way it seems, with you. So I consider both of you incredibly lucky to have had each other. <:)

I know how it feels because I owned one and we had to put him down due to his cancer being to advanced for surgery
