It is with great sadness that I am writing to tell all of our friends of the passing of our sweet boy Sidney- Corkscot Man of La Mancha. He fought a valiant fight against Transitional cell Carcinoma for the past 18 + months. It was hard to continue the blog after I found out how sick he was. The vet had given him about three months to live and I did my best to keep him going for much longer. I following the Facebook page of TCC and gleamed many insightful ideas to help with his care. People are so helpful when you share a common problem. My vet said that he was the longest surviving TCC patient in her practice. Last week, everything started to go downhill. He stopped eating on Tuesday evening and he started having accidents all day long. There was a great deal of blood in his urine and it just seemed to come out of him when he stood up. He was sleeping continually and seemed to have very shallow breathing. It was tie to go to make a decision. My vet told me that it was time. i did not want my boy to suffer. He had a very peaceful passing. It was difficult to come home without him. The girls are stilling looking for him. They checkout every bush that he used for pee mail.Until we meet again. Please know that you were loved.

There are no good words….I am so very sorry. He wanted to go Home and you helped him. Bless you all for that.
Thank you for your kind thoughts. I never thought of it the way that you expressed it. It does bring comfort to know that he did want to go.
Kali and I are soooo sorry for your loss. Our Peeps have gone through it three times and there is never enough words to say ” we are sorry.”
When Kyla didn’t come home, we were both upset and not understanding what happened to her. We still miss her so much as do our peeps;
Hope time will help you get through this terrible time in your life.
Kaci.
I remember when Kyla didn’t come home. It helps to have a sibling in the house to give you comfort. I remember that Sidney was miserable when Drew died. He stopped doing all of the things that had made him happy. The arrival of Shelby made a huge difference in his live. Keep your siblings close, even feathered ones.
We didn’t know about it but for some reason He wore his StuShirt today-in memory of Stuart his battle with hermangiosarcoma.
I wore my Stuart shirt the previous week. It is hard to believe that we have lost so many friends over the last few years. Keep on squawking kismet. Send kisses to your furry sisters.
Rest in peace, sweet Sidney. You had a good life here with your sisters, and you have friends and family to welcome you at the bridge, including Angel Lexi. Comforting thoughts and prayers for your Mom. Amy, Xena and Lucy
We appreciate all of your support and friendship over the years.
My heart is hurting for you. Sending prayers and hugs. It is NEVER easy to let a loved one go over the bridge but I do believe that we will all meet again in Gods loving hands.

Thank you Bentley. It is never easy to make a decision, but I could not let him suffer.
So sorry to hear about Sid. May he be running with his brother Rowdy over the rainbow bridge. Love to you, Shelby and Sophie, Glenna
I hope that they are joined by Drew, Bonnie, Scotty, Corky, Tiffany, Tory. That would be a rousing celebration.
Add Casper (the rescue Westie mix, Kyla the rescue Scottie,Kenzie Westie, and Boomerang (the rescue bird) to the group that we all have tears for.
Oh noes. OMD, I am so sorry to hear abouts Sid. I so loved all the posties about him and his mischief ☺. My heart breaks for you and your pack. You gave your sweet boy a most FABulous life, and I just knows that he loved you from the bottom of his furry Scottie heart. ♥

So deeply sorry for your loss… they take a big piece of our hearts with them when they go… but without them, our hearts would be so much smaller. Sending big hugs.
That is a wonderful way to look at our loss.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Rest in peace, boy.
Although it has been 18 months, the loss of Sid is still fresh in our minds. The girls are still going to his pee bush and hoping to get a sniff of him. he was the best. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
I know what means to loose a lovely dog. I had 2 of my dogs dead. They’re in my heart. So is your littlefriend 😔🙏
SID HAS BEEN GONE OVER 2 YEARS. I THINK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY. I haven’t been posting much since his death. The girls miss him and still look for him.
