our K-8 left us.
And our lives were never the same.
K-8 was born in Pine Mountain, Georgia. Her Mom was an American Bulldog and her Dad was a purebred Border Collie. When we first met K-8 she was only a few weeks old. K-8's Mom came over to us and nudged my hand for me to pet her. K-8 inherited that same loving trait. K-8 was a Canine Good Citizen and therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International, Inc. She was loved by everyone that met her.
On February 23, 2008 K-8 was diagnosed with Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia. This basically means that her immune system was attacking itself and that she was bleeding internally. A short time later, she developed Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. This was worse that the Thrombocytopenia. The only warning signs that we had were a few red spots on her gums and a slight loss of appetite.
Even though we had the best Vet and medications, K-8 left us after a brutal two and a half weeks after she was diagnosed. This is in memory of my dear K-8, that I miss every day.

What a beauty she was, and so loved! That is a beautiful tribute. None of us ever forget our beloved companions, those who filled our lives with love and joy.
ReplyDeleteYour Friends,
Tom, Tama-Chan and #1
What a wonderful tribute to your special friend. She was a lovely, lovely dog....and will not be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteStaci,
ReplyDeleteI have been sitting here ready about K8 and tears keep flowing. She was gorgious and it's obvious she and Zoe were a team. My Samantha loved playing in the bluebonnets and I see that K8 did too. The one regret I have is that I have so few pictures of Samantha and her antics. I envy you but am so happy that you have them all.
BTW, yes Pam has always had dreams and spoke in her sleep every since we were children. This was a funny one like the one where she said "whats wrong with that man, dies he have rice in his ears?" but most are nightmares where she wakes up screeming.
That was a beautiful tribute to a much loved dog, who obviously loved back. Crying big tears here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to K-8. I love her "wave" pictures. The one-year anniversary is hard. You've come to the right place to find others who understand how much you truly miss her. Our Freddie died over two years ago and we still put flowers in a vase for him every day.
ReplyDeleteYour pal,
Joey
I couldn't get through it without crying.
ReplyDeletelove you
miss you

What a beautiful tribute to K-8! It looks like she was full of love and joy and spread those to all who met her! I can just see her and Zoe playing together now!
ReplyDelete:) Tibby
K-8, you had me at the Wave, the tears rolled hard from then on. The world was a better place for the happiness you brought to all those you met during your short time here on earth. You are a gorgeous girl. Some of us have many dogs in our lives, but only a few of us know what's it like to have the dog of a lifetime. I know that feeling, and I think you were that dog to your mom. Run free sweet K-8.
ReplyDeleteYour tribute is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

ReplyDeleteWe just saw the video and the tribute. This is pawtastic.
ReplyDeleteMama can understand what you are going through. She had a miniature schnauzer for 15 1/2 years and she has been gone for 3 years now (3-11).
Run free K-8.
Love -
Hershey and Kaci
P.S. The previous comment was ours because we couldn't watch the video before but Mama figured out that she could.
This is a wonderful tribute for a lovely girl. One day, we will all be reunited with our furry friends.
ReplyDeleteDear Addie, We are sorry to hear of this loss. We went and red about Therapy DOgs Internashonal ow! Two Paws way UP! for their outstanding werk.
ReplyDeleteOur website is set up to try to do fun stuff to raise awareness and money for rescue dogs, and we also post a lot of infomration about resources and stuff, and so we posted information about Therapy Dogs International so that more humans will know about this outstanding organizashon. It is under special features / links and resources.
We know K-8 will continue to inspire! In peace for K-8, your PaLs, LuLu and LoLLy.
What a loving tribute! We lost Felanie one year ago as well (plus a couple weeks) but I couldn't blog about it at all. It's still too hard. I know this was tough for you to put together.
ReplyDeleteI smiled when I saw the tiger rattle toy, though. Dozer had one just like that when he was a puppy.
And the blue kids' couch with the gold stars and moons! We used one just like that as a dog bed for years (from Garden Ridge--they stopped carrying it though).
Well, I am crying now. Memories are bittersweet sometimes. Your video was very touching.
They never truly leave us.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to a very special girl.
ReplyDeleteWe loved the slideshow.

Oh, that is the most beautiful video. My human is very sad now and doing the tear thing that humans do but I think it's lovely to remember the happy times. It looks like she had a very happy life with you.
