This past Friday, we had to make the difficult decision to send Logan to a better place. He was 12 years, 8 months old. In the middle of August we noticed a lump appear out of nowhere on his front leg that turned out to be bone cancer. We opted not to do chemo, radiation, or other agressive measures. We decided to try a few differen meds that would hopefully slow the progression of the cancer and help keep him happy and comfortable. Last week we knew the cancer was winning the battle and we did not want him to suffer. We miss him terribly, but know that we had many wonderful years with him. Here are some pictures of him throughout his life. The paw print is his. I made it last week so we would have it as a special rememberance along with his pictures. Rest in peace big guy.
Sweet heart you have to be strong…I wish you to be… You know , as I know, that it happens just like that and that everybody has its time, its date… Think of him as running down floral meadows, without pain, just happy, happy, happy… That’s all we can do. And it’s true believe me. They are really happy playing with their brothers and sisters…waiting for us… But…cry if you have to, and remember the golden moments that you had with him together. Look at at the biggest shiny star on the dark sky and you will se him, sending to you his best Golden Smile forever. Because you are… his FOREVER MOM.
Good bless you and your wonderful and handsome boy Love

I'm so sorry for the passing of your beautiful boy Logan. My thoughts are with you during this sad and difficult time. I hope you will find comfort in the days to come knowing you gave him the most precious gift, that of setting him free of his pain and suffering.
I'm so sorry. He was a beautiful boy in all stages of his life. Very much liked the pics of him playing with the kittens. Sending you strength. Run free Logan.
Thank you so much for posting the photographs of your boy, Logan. What a bundle of joy he looks to have been! Absolutely loved the two photographs of him with the kitty-cats! Made me laugh and smile. I also love his senior photograph -- handsome forever!
I'm sorry for your painful loss ~ yet even in his passing, he is still bringing laughter and smiles to people's hearts! Blessings to you and to your boy and may he run with wild abandon...hopefully there is a kitty-cat for him to nibble on at the bridge!
Oh my goodness I absolutely love the last picture of him on the right, what a sweet face, such a cutie!
An obvious fondness of cats too hehehe.
Im so sorry for your loss, it must be so hard (((hugs)))
I'm so very sorry for your loss. He was a very handsome guy, and I love the happiness in his eyes. He clearly had a wonderful life with you and knew that he was loved. And IMO you did right by him at the end. We helped Boswell to the Bridge almost two years ago, but I still feel guilty because I think we waited too long: I was so worried about depriving him of even one good day that he ended up suffering through some bad ones. Logan was very lucky to have you for his family.
I am sorry for your loss. Logan was beautiful boy, you sure miss him a lot. Thank you for sharing those pictures, such beautiful pup could easily find the way in every ones heart. You were blessed to have him. Run free sweet boy.
So many beautiful words of comfort are coming your way. May your beautiful Logan rest in peace and be waiting for you. I truly believe he will, "cause if dogs aren't allowed in Heaven I want to go where they go"!
Thank you for sharing Logan with us. I know the decision you made as out of love for him. I had to make the same decision for my 5 year old boy, Ted E. Bear, this past June. Very, very difficult. Tears still come to my eyes just thinking about it.
You so made the right decision or that beautiful, beautiful boy. When our 12 year old irish setter developed bone cancer in leg back in '97, we also made the very same decision..no radical or extremem measures, just give the best time of his life for what time he had left.
And we did. We had him exactly 10 weeks to the day after diagnosis and spent that 10 weeks taking him to the beach every day, letting him eat doggy no-no food. We also let him go before he suffered. And never regretted it.
I know you will miss him, such a darling puppy and beautiful adult.
Logan had a wonderful life with his family, and seems he had a knack for playtime with cats : ) We lost our Mango to cancer one year ago. I wish you comfort during this time
I am so sorry for your loss. Those photos were a beautiful way to share him with us.
