Buffy, the original Dunbar was a beagle mix. (Had a little shepherd in him, too.) I've had a soft spot for beagles ever since. No shortage of personality in that breed.

I'm very sad. I had to put my dog to sleep yesterday. He was diagnosed with lymphoma about 6 weeks ago and they told me that he only had another month or two. He actually held up very well for about the first month or so after he was diagnosed. But he started to deteriorate badly the last week, especially the last 24 hours. He was so weak yesterday that he no longer had the strength to walk or to eat.

I still can't believe he's gone. I had him for practically 13 years. He was a huge part of my life. It's so strange when I walk into my living room and he's not there. It will take a long time to get used to.

My condolences, Rupert. My advice, from personal experience, take some time, then get yourself another "best friend".

Sorry about your dog man. It's always tough losing someone that shared such a big part of your life with you.

So sorry to hear about your loss, not sure anything we say can help with your pain but know that everyone here at DT that reads this post has you in their thoughts and prayers...

RIP Duke

I read back through this.

Anyone who would take in a stray doggie will always rate very high on my very,very short list of board buddies.



You will do what you want to do,but no doggie will ever take his place.

That's the way it should be.I wish you well.

I'm new here, but I'm very sorry you lost your friend. At least you did get some pics of him, it would have been even harder if you didn't get those pics.

I have lots of dogs but the ones that always pull on my heart are my rescues. I have a poor guy here that was bounced 21 times before he got to me, now he's on my couch, he was so lost in his head when I got him. Now he's full of life and sillyness, and recently went to be the live exhibit at the state musuem as the State dog, one of the symbols of Louisiana.
There's nothing in this world like the loyalty of a dog, I'm sorry you lost your buddy, Duke.

For Rupert, and in memory of Duke. Not everyone will take in a stray and love him for 13 years, may you have fond memories, he must have loved you very much.
