I know this is general racing section but I want to share with you guys that yesterday was the worst day of my life as i put my 6 years old yellow lab Hughey down to sleep. He passed away peacefully in my arms yesterday at 4:35pm at vet clinic in Brighton, MI. I cried like a baby and my body and heart were very severely sad and hurt. Hughey was my assistance hearing dog and never left my side. On June 30th, He was confirmed that he had agressive form of cancer caused by canine nasal when sneezing with blood. It broken down the bone in his beak and invaded his sinus, causing to have cancer in his head. His body was very strong and healthy but the major problem is his head. Radiation is an option but I rejected due side efects reason. And immediately decided to let him retire and enjoyed what left in his life. He was touched by hundreds of people who met and knew Hughey. Mama Wazzup is the one that often asks me about Hughey. He was beyond the ever dog ever because he rarely barked, never growled at anyone, only happy to with anyone, and loved to be around little kids to pet him.
Today, I am still hurt and sorrow since Hughey's passing. I know myself that I will have other dog but it will never ever replace Hughey.....I will post pictures of Hughey when I can. RIP, Hughey, love you, buddy.

RIP Hughey Aug 2, 2006 - Oct 10, 2012.

Also, Cancer is frigging SUCK!!!!! Cancer stole my Hughey too early!!!!

Very sorry to hear. Dogs are incredibly special, my 7 yr old black lab, Lucy is my best friend. I feel for ya bud.

sorry Chris

Very Sad to hear. I have had 5 labs, currently have two, and it is never a good day. Probably the only day of work I have missed is when I had to put one of them down.

I'm sorry Chris, pets are part of family and it hurts.

Sorry Chris!

R.I.P. Hughey.

Update: I am ok but inside me is so-so....Feel weird without him around here. It sucks....I am having hard time washing carpet where he sneezed with blood. so decide to ask my mom to do for me.

My work decided to chip in money to donate to pay for painting frame of Hughey and will order rock and will place up north in Tawas City at my parents' cottage house in memory of Hughey.

Thanks for your support!
Chris

Pets are more than animals. They can be your best friends and never complain. I can feel your pain.

Sorry to hear this. I have a 13 year old choc lab that went through college in the bed of my truck, slept in the bed with me, and still goes to work everyday with me but I know his day is coming and typing this makes me cry. He is a son and my best friend.
