Hi everyone this is Dena, Petey's Momager. I still can't find the words to go into all details yet.
I will tell you this first though,
Petey didn't suffer !!! I would have NEVER ALLOWED that. I was fiercely protective of my boy, ...OUR boy.

He had cancer all over his lungs & chest wall. His own lifetime Vet was unaware, I was unaware.
He wasn't showing any signs and had just spent an entire week last month following my double mastectomy and new breast cancer diagnosis, at the clinic boarding and mainly walking around kissing his friends, and being underfoot in the treatment room at Yukon Pet Care Clinic 😀.

Unfortunately, due to my undying love for him, and refusal to let him suffer one more second than he had to, I single-handedly made the HORRIFIC decision to say goodbye to my furry son the very night I saw his overwhelmingly positive cancer xrays. I was in the Veterinary Medicine field myself for 30 + years and I know what an end stage terminal and untreatable cancer looks like. It was beyond devastating.

He is being cremated currently and should be back home with me later this week.

When you have a companion dog who you work with daily, they are no longer "pets". This boy, my beautifully courageous, strong, noble, loving boy. He was my reason to get up everyday during multiple battles with ovarian cancer. He was my strength. We shared the same knee problems, same back issues, and both were medicated daily to prevent him from suffering chronic pain.

I want my boy back !! I can't sleep, I cry constantly. Petey was the one consistent Soul that was with me through my living hell of the last 6 years.

I don't know how to keep motivated without him. He was so much more to me than my Service Dog.

I can't respond back to most comments yet, but I do read them all, and They do provide me comfort. Thank you All.

There are no words. My world is upside down. My loss is insurmountable.

Momager has opened an online shop for pet supplies. The profits still go towards medical bills for me. If you have an products that you purchase online already, send her a DM to see if she can carry those products and if you buy them from us, it will help me & Momager.

Thanks All

Momager had a pretty dramatic surgery in July and is still having issues with her hips and knee, but last week she had an even more horrific surgery. I am back to protection mode. She has drain tubes and her shirts fit her different. Momager looks skinnier.

Momager is Scottish, but on St. PETEY'S DAY everyone is a little bit Irish !
