Our Kane
July 27, 2000 - Nov. 23, 2015
(2009)
Our 'good & loyal boy' is gone.
Kidney failure and old age took it's toll.
With the help of his vet of 14 years, he gently and peacefully passed away.
"We love you, Kane, and will miss you every single day.
Thank you for loving us for 14 wonderful years."
You will remain in our hearts forever,
mom & dad
Our one & only dog.
Our hearts are broken.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers for our dear old dog.
I prayed to God to give us guidance in this dreadful decision,
Although it was the most difficult one we have had to make I felt His presence and your prayers.
Now I need time to think of life as it will be without my loyal companion.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
hugs, Deb
Oh Deb, I feel for you and The Retired Guy. Sending you warm hugs and lots of positive thoughts. Kane will be missed by many. Such a Good Boy. xx Trish
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of you...and was going to send an email...
ReplyDeleteI know you must be crushed...
Take your time to heal...
Kane is happy...and with your beloved Mr Ed and Lily♥️
So sorry Deb...
linda ♥️
He was lucky enough to enjoy the Mouse House with you and the Retired Guy....and the girls♥️
DeleteI'd wondered earlier today. I'm very sorry, Deb.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry... I've loved reading about Kane and his adventures even at his good old age! You gave him a good life..rescued! And he loved you back and rewarded you with wonderful years and forever memories. Hugs...I know it's so hard! ♥
ReplyDeleteDeb, I am so very sorry. These are the sweetest pictures of Kane. We lost Harriet, who was 14, earlier this year. We know how brokenhearted you guys are. Sending love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first comment on your blog. Tears are pouring from my eyes as II write. You have my deepest condolences for your loss of this loyal family member. Yourwritings about him and all your walks together were so special for me to read. I love dogs and now owned by two rescued cats. Kane was such a handsome guy and you could tell he was truly loved! My heart goes out to you and your husband. With deep sympathy, Patty.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those times when I am on the brink of tears for a dog I never knew--and for folks I 'know' only through the words and photos of your blog.
ReplyDeleteMy empathy for what you are experiencing is none the less for that.
I send my kindest thoughts during this time when your sense of loss is so fresh and over-whelming. Kane surely knew that he was loved to the very last.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Kane.
ReplyDeleteSending you both my thoughts and prayers.
Love to you all
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry. So many of your posts included your beloved dog. He will be missed.

God bless you all as you deal with your loss. Kane was a very lucky dog to have such love and care. He is at peace now, you did the right thing as heartwrenching as it must have been. Your home no doubt feels very empty but he will be in your heart always.
ReplyDeleteI am soo sorry for your loss . Kane will be missed by all but never forgotten .
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of Kane's passing. I know how hard it is to let them go even when it is the right thing to do if they are suffering. Kane was a lucky dog to be so well loved and cared for. Peace to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you and the retired guy.You are such a special family, Kane had a very happy life with you. We will all miss Kane. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, my condolences. It's so hard to lose one of our furry children, especially when we have to make the decision to end their suffering. It is hard and feels terrible even though you know you did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteYou loved Kane, he knew it, and he loved you guys, too. And that's what matters.
May time give you comfort and ease the loss of him by your side.
Prayers for you and Kane.

Deb, we had to let our dog Isadora go a month ago on the 22nd of October. I understand exactly how difficult the decision to let Kane go must have been. But I also know that no matter how difficult the decision to let him go was, it was the kindest thing you did for him. He was loved so well by you and your family.How fortunate for him to have led such a blessed life with all of you. May he now rest in peace. We send you our love and heartfelt condolences.

Dear Deb & husband,
ReplyDeleteeven far away in Germany I am so very sad about Kane's passing away. He was such a beautiful and adorable fellow; he will not be forgotten!
And with him passed away on same day the cats JULIUS from Knatolee' World and EMIL from resis weisse welt.
What a sad, sad week.
Hugs,
Bärbel
Deb, I am so sorry for your loss. Kane was such a wonderful dog. We all seemed to know him through you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteRobin
Dear Deb,I know there are no words strong enough to heal your sorrow right now. Please know that you and the Retired Guy are in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteKane was a dear sweet companion, the Best of Dogs.
I'm so sorry!
so sorry for your loss, it's hard losing family (i lost 2 this year)
ReplyDeletethey are wonderful photos of the family, perhaps frame a few ...
do take some time to mourn
i am also saddened by his passing, it was nice seeing him in the occasional post, reading his adventures, felt like we got to know & love him a little too. xxx
thanx for sharing
I am feeling your sorrow. It is very difficult to make the decision to let a pet go, even if it is the humane, caring thing to do. Kane was a member of your family. Thinking of you, Jenn
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Kane. I know that was a difficult decision. He was a great dog! He's crossed over the Rainbow Bridge to a place where he'll always be young and and run and play! He will meet you there on the bridge one day and you'll be together again. I've lost a number of pets over the years so I understand your pain. It never gets easier. Take care, Cheryl
ReplyDeleteKane was a very lucky boy to be so loved. He's still in your heart,and always will be
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your pain.

I was afraid that dear Kane was speeding away from you. He was a very handsome guy and very lucky to have his special family ... he really did(does) have a furever home. Always in your heart. Wishing you well.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Purrs......
Deb I've been going through a difficult passage in my own life separate from all my cats, so I've not been present much online in the blogging world. I am so deeply sorry about your beloved Kane. Such a beautiful beautiful dog and beloved family member. Keeping you in my prayers. I know it's of little solace to your aching heart but he shared 14 wonderful years with you, and i hope that with time that will help ease the deep deep sorrow of his physical spirit not being there with you, for I know you know he is with you always and forever in your heart of heart. I am so very sorry for the sadness you feel.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid this was in the offing after your last post. I'm so very sorry, Deb. Indeed, your heart is broken and it will take a long time to heal -- but you know that. You also know that Kane was so loved by you and your family and that he had a grand a good life thanks to you. To let go is to be very brave and I think the hardest thing we can do. My heart is with you, a bit broken too, for I have loved hearing about Kane and seeing his smiling face. Yes, he smiles. And these photos are true treasures. Sending hugs across the border and wishes for peace and healing.
ReplyDeleteDear Deb, My heartfelt condolences to you and your husband. I am so sorry. It is so painful to lose our pets but I know that Kane had such an amazing and love-filled life with you and your family. (I'm crying too). His photos are beautiful - his happiness/contentment/love of life shines in every picture. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Kane. He was one handsome boy. Thank you for sharing his life with us.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts are with you.
Judy, Bernie and Phantom
My heart breaks for you. I had to make the same decision for my 12-year-old, 24/7 companion and best friend, Samson, on November 5. I've still not adjusted and have crying spells almost daily. I'm praying for you and your husband with sincerity.
ReplyDeleteso so saddened to hear this and sending you purrs and hugs. Take care and remember all the love you shared. Love Helen, Darcy and Bingley xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou loved him enough to help him on his journey, although it makes your heart hurt. Hugs to you and the retired guy, and the kitties too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title, I hoped that the article was about Kane having to take new medicine, or to rest more. This is very sad indeed. Kane had the best of lives with you and your family; not many dogs live fifteen years, and even fewer for fifteen happy and good years. He was loved and he loved in return. An enviable life, though I wish it could have been much longer. Godspeed, Kane.
ReplyDeleteYou and your dear family are in my heart and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI had a bad feeling Kane was not doing well at all. He lived a long life for a larger dog and we know he had a wonderful one, too. Lots of hugs and purrs to you two from our house.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you. I can tell from all of his pictures that Kane had a blessed life with you and your husband, and he knew nothing but love and happiness. And although it may not feel like it, please know that your decision to help him move on to his heavenly home was the final most loving decision you could have made for him.
ReplyDeleteI know how much this must hurt for you, and how it must feel like there will always be a hole in your heart. Please know, though, that over time that hole will begin to fill up with all of the lovely, sweet memories you have of your precious Kane. He is and always will be with you.
Deb, my heart breaks. So sad. I had to send my two cats to sleep a few years back and it still hurts. I had them for 13 and 14 years. My schmelly dog died in my arms about the same time. I will walk away from this computer with tears for Kane and my fur babies too. You are a wonderful caretaker of pets and I hope you will continue this greatly needed task. We love you and I love to read your blog. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So very sorry for your loss. I shed tears thru the entire blog post. I've come to know and love your pets thru your posts.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb,
ReplyDeleteMy tears are falling right along with yours. There is so much to be grateful for in the lives you shared together and yet the parting is so very hard. Thank you for sharing his stories with us through the years. I have loved them.
I will hold you all close in my heart and prayers as the days go by.
Much love and deep sympathy,
Lily

ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear of Kane's passing. Our fur children certainly take up residence in our hearts for always.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they are not stars, but a rather openings,
In Heaven where the love of our lost one pours through
And shines down upon us to let us know they are happy
My heart is broken for you. I pray that God will give you comfort and peace as you grieve for Kane. He was well loved and you did the most unselfish act one can do for him. It doesn't ease the loss, but my prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteWords alone cannot tell you how sorry I am for the loss of beautiful Kane, I know he will live on in all our hearts We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. For as long as I have followed your blog I have enjoyed seeing him with the kitties, he will always be a beautiful part of our memories.

ReplyDeleteI know dear, sweet Kane is resting in peace now in 'doggie heaven'.
ReplyDeleteHe was a handsome boy and you were the best parents a dog could have.
It is a hard decision - but we know sometimes it has to be made to help our dear four-legged companions get to a place free from pain and suffering.
Thinking of you dear Deb, and your family, as you deal with your grief.

ReplyDeleteI just popped in to catch up with you and find this sad news. My heart breaks for your loss but is full with the joy of knowing what a wonderful family Kane had to share his life with. He could not have found a more loving home than yours and I'm sure he's bragging about it to all the other dogs in heaven.
