Folks: It’s been a pretty rough day or two (more like week or two) for us well. I lost my beloved dog, and fishing partner Chihuahua “Peanut” today at about 2pm this afternoon. Any time we hitched up the boat, or started loading fishing gear into the car, she thought she HAD to go with us. She had a cancer that started in her hips/spine. then spread to her intestines,and her lymph nodes in her neck. And she was 15 yrs old, which is VERY old for just about any breed of dog, even those like Chihuahua's that tend to live long lives. You KNOW in your head they cannot live forever, but you hope in your heart that they will got get when she was 5 weeks old back on the about the 4th of July weekend. She had those tumors, but they said she basically just “died of old age”. That is the one think thing that makes us feel better is because she did lave a LONG, happy life, and was hardly ever sick a day in her life. She would have turned 15 this June 8th. All the Vets could do was to make her comfortable, as I didn’t want to have to put her to sleep unless she was in a lot of pain. They had her on pain meds and steroids, and that made her last days a LOT better, but it’s close like losing a kid to me and my wife as we had her longer than any dog in our lives. Attached is a pic of her and I out fishing near the “jetties” in Panama City Bch FL in the Fall of 1999 when she was just a little puppy.
