She had her chemo, dioxyrubesen, and she had this before, but she had a very bad reaction to it. She had not eaten since Friday, not even her beloved french fry's or greenie treat, and I just knew Sunday night she was going. Clark was taking her to the vet this morning and she passed away right before he pulled into the parking lot.

Libby went peacefully and she was a VERY LOVED pet, family member. She was a gentle lamb always.

Coincidentally, she died exactly one week shy of a year that our Emmitt passed away. We all, including the vet, believe very strongly she just missed Emmitt too much and she went to be with him, she was never the same after Emmitt passed. And quite TRUE, there are no coincidences with God, I believe he took her to join her Emmitt. We will have her ashes in about 3 weeks.

Everyone at FK Family have been so supportive of Libby and Emmitt too, and I wanted to share our news of Libby with you, I assure you we did everything for her and she was playing happily a few days ago. Thank you everyone for all your loving concern, you're all the best to me, to us.

Here is my favorite picture of Libby in the backyard, she was so cute AND such a cutie

(((Dianne))) you and Clark were great care-givers. I'm sure Libby

lived much longer because of your devotion to her needs. Wishing you peaceful memories.

 
My heart goes out to you, Dianne.....

We lost our little mini-schauzer, Lexi, in Sept so I know how you feel.

(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))

 
I'm very sorry to hear that. I know she was a part of the family and is no

doubt running and jumping, and eating those french fries at this very moment!!

 
I know your heart is breaking and I am so very sorry (more)

My sister sent this today and it seemed perfect:

Just a Dog

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand."
