Our hearts are broken as we write. .. Dorcus was very, very sick and we had to let her go.
.
X-rays revealed she had a tumour in her stomach which had ruptured, tumours had spread to her lungs. There was nothing that could be done other than to help our beautiful girl to be pain free. We held her paws as she peacefully slipped away.

We brought her home and she will be with Ellie.
Dorcus, thank you for 5 wonderful years. We loved you to bits beautiful girl and we are so proud and privileged to have shared our life with you. But we feel so cheated, 5 years was not long enough.
Run free with the wind in your face. We will always love you Dorcus.

Oh Miss Dorcus! You were my first thought when I woke up. Our hearts are breaking. You are running free now, but those of us left behind will be walking with a heavy stride for a while.

Although I met Dorcus only two weeks ago, I'm heartbroken to read this. You must all be so sad.
The only good point is that she had a happy life until the very last days and did not suffer. She could even enjoy this snow...
This is just too awful for words!
We are all feeling so sad to have lost such a beautiful Aire girl friend.
Run free Dorcus.

We were introduced to Miss Dorcus just the other day through Mango. We are so sorry to hear this today. To see her running in pictures just the day before, is just so hard to believe she has crossed to the bridge. You are so right 5 years is not long enough, but I can tell she had a great 5 years. She is running free today and we will watch for the new bright star in the sky. Again, we are so sorry for the loss of your beloved Miss Dorcus. She was a beauty for sure. The HoundDogs
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it wasn't easy to let Dorcus go. You gave her one last gift of true love.

Blessings,

I was just enjoying those beautiful pictures of all of you, Dorcus included having so much fun in the snow. New to your blog, but not to your pain. It's a particular heartbreak when one of our beloved pets must go, but also a blessing that they are painfree, at peace and able to run as much as they want in the special heaven for dogs. Hugs to all. Ann
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of sweet Dorcus. It's never easy to help your loved friend to the bridge. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I hope you find lots of joy in the wonderful memories you have of her.

Many thoughts and prayers,

My heart weeps with you today! I received word from Molly, Taffy and Monty. 5 years was definitely not long enough. She suffers no more and was so loved by you and takes that with her on her journey...They always show us a sign that they made it across and are peaceful! Run Free Miss Dorcus!!! You will be missed each and everyday.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Deetzy and Family
Oh, we are so very sorry to hear about Dorcus. We are very weepy with the news.
Thanks for giving her 5 wonderful years.

RIP Sweet Dorcus
I read about her being sick yesterday (Mango sent me over), and we'd been sending healing energies your direction...hoping for a swift recovery.
You have given her the greatest gift you can give. Releasing her from her pain and sickness, she is now whole again. I'm sure she will be missed terribly though. Hugs to you during this sad time.

We're so sorry to hear Dorcus has gone to the bridge. She was a beautiful girl and we know she runs free now. We agree, five is too young, but at least you had five wonderful years together. We will be purring for all of the Thuglets and their Mom and Dad. Thanks for sharing Dorcus with us here on the blogosphere.
I realize that we did not know you, but we are so sad to hear this news about your girl. Run free, dear Dorcus.

We are so, so sorry for your loss!
We are sad to see what we had feared -
For some reason, the tumour word always scares us -
We are so sorry for your loss - especially so soon BUT at least Ellie will be there to greet her and show her where all the good stuff is -
We'll light a candle this evening -
All the snow pictures from the recent days will provide lots of happy memories - albeit so bittersweet -

We are so sorry for your loss. It sounds like she enjoyed her time with you until the last few days. How lucky you all were to know each other. It's just so sad when they go so quick. You're in our thoughts.

Oh, no. We are so very sorry you have lost your Dorcus, and so quickly. We know it was hard to let her go and you miss her. Purrs and tail wags for all of you.
We are so sorry to hear this. We were hoping for a more positive outcome and it is so hard to imagine something like this happening to such a young dog.

She was only five? That is heartbreaking. I don't know what even to say. We are keeping you close to our hearts and will light a candle tonight...
And it's comforting to know that as you held her paw that Miss Ellie took it as she crossed the Bridge...no more pain...
We are at a loss for words...
We will keep you close...
So much love,
Mumsie and Scruffy, Lacie and Stan
My broken heart feels so very heavy for you at this most difficult time. You made a loving decision. I hope that the many wonderful memories you have will ease your pain.

Hi,
è da poco che seguo il blog di Dorcus... ma il suo musetto era così adorabile che ho inserito subito il "seguo blog" per vedere le sue foto.
E' così triste sapere della perdita di un compagno e componente della famiglia.
Ho pianto al pensiero di questa prematura scomparsa... 5 anni sono veramente pochi.
Un abbraccio alla sua famiglia.
Myria ( e Igor )
We are soooo, soooo sorry! It sounds very similar to how we lost Poppy last February, but Poppy died on her own within the hour of showing symptoms.
We will keep all our paws crossed for all of you. Run free, sweet girl, and play with Poppy at the Rainbow Bridge!
Aire-hugs,
Penny & Patches
I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Run free dear Dorcus....with the wind in your fur.......
We are so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry to learn about Dorcus. Your post has brought tears to my eyes. Five is too, too young. I know she will be in your hearts forever, and, again, we are truly sorry for your loss. You are in all of our thoughts.
I am so sorry for your loss. Run free Dorcus ...

I read the sad news over at Jan's Funny Farm. My sisters and I are so very sorry to hear about your sweet Dorcus. Purrs and hugs.
We went outside last night and looked up at the clear Heavens...
Two bright stars, side by side awaited us...glittering, gleaming, shimmering...almost like they were playing and giggling...
We know who they are...
We bowed to them...
And they barked to us...we barked back...and then they winked...
We love you,
Lacie, Scruffy and Stan and Mumsie too....
Only five--that's especially hurtful. We're all sorry that she is gone.
Sherry, Alanis and Miro
I am sending my most heart-felt doggie vibes to you so that you can feel better. I know you will miss her, but she is pain free and running for joy now. Enjoy her memories and she will live with you forever.
