My chihuahua Shelby died very recently. I had her for about 12 years and she was my baby. It is still very hard for me to talk about her.

She died peacefully at home and we had her cremated. She had cancer three times and before but this time it was in her blood and pancreas so there was not much we could do.

On February 10^th 2008 I lost my Blackie. Sweetest little dog you could ever have. She gave me so many years of wonderful moments and memories and was with me through the good and bad. She came to me at the age of 3 full of energy, a bundle of joy, a loss for those who gave her away a wonderful gift to me.

Riley was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer on 1/21/08 and it had already spread to his pelvis. He had just turned six and we were told there was nothing that could be done because of the location of the prostate on a dog. Riley was also diagnosed with a thyroid condition at the same time and after getting the thyroid meds, he was a whole different dog.
