RIP Beautiful Beau 1999-2012--updated

We wanted to update this post a little to include the beautiful graphic Alasandra made out of Beau's picture:


And to include a link to a video starring Beau. He is the first and the last doggie roaching in the grass to the Chicken Dance song. It always makes my mom smile: 



This is our Beautiful Beau.  He had to be put to sleep today. 
This year is already starting out bad for us.


 We don't understand what happened.


 He was going to have his teeth cleaned, some removed.


But, instead, we found out he had prostate 
cancer--even though he had been snipped long ago. 
It hit his kidneys in just days.


This is me & Beau snorting around the yard.


  
Beau must have found something good.



He was born in our house on Labor Day 1999. My mom had taken in a pregnant girl who had 5 boys. From that litter my mom kept two--Beau and Mighty Bitey plus the mama she named Baby.

Beau was only 12. We don't understand why this had to happen and it happened so fast. We are sort of stunned right now.

Beau was a quiet boy, always sweet and happy. We are really going to miss you, Beau-Beau.

Run free, sweet doggie boy.

We are very sorry for your loss -

It is sadly too much like Daunte - our Siberian friend -

Tuesday he was diagnosed with lung and abdominal cancer - and allowed to cross Saturday evening -

Paws crossed for the year to only improve from here!

Mom Kim here - I am so sorry you lost Beau - especially so sudden and unexpected - that way is always the hardest to deal with. I understand how when bad things keep happening - it seems like so much bad and it all keeps snowballing until you think you cannot take any more. I am so glad you have the blog so hopefully you can keep talking to us about how things are going. Remember, as you have shown me, Blogville is such a supportive, understanding and caring place to be - I really wonder what I would do without it.

Rest in peace, sweet Beau.
Your smile will never be forgotten.
Love.

Oh no!! I'm so sorry for you loss. Go play at the Rainbow Bridge sweet Beau. I hope this isn't a sign of the year to come. Just a roadblock along the way. Hugs!
