We lost our beloved Yogi on Friday. I couldn’t tell you about it until now... just too hard to talk about, still is actually. He was the highlight of our lives for the past 10 years. 
Yogi loved the ‘kids’. We had to bring the kids in without him knowing it or he wouldn’t of allowed them in. So he was on his leash and chain out in the front yard while we were bringing them inside in the back door. When we let him in, all was fine. Outside was his territory. 
The one above is my favorite picture, he slept with his baby until the ‘kid’s came in.
This was our Christmas Card in 2006. Yogi loved the snow!!! He wanted to stay out for hours, you’d have to go outside and literally bring him in.
He’d even let Stevie Lynne try to nurse from him.

My boy!!! Here’s a real short video Wes took, its how Yogi ate his supper every night for 10 years. No joke!!!
Yogi had a very fast growing cancerous tumor in his bladder. Where his tumor was located, there just wasn’t the option for surgery or any type of treatments. We took him in for what we thought was a bladder infection. Dr. Brown had to go in and see what the blockage was, it didn’t show on the x-ray and he then had to recommend Yogi not be brought out of sedation from the surgery, that we let him go. The pain would be unbearable for our Yogi. It has been such a sad time for us here. The silence is deafening and the shock is unreal. From what we all thought was just a bladder infection to cancer and gone in 7 days. Yogi was 10 years old and brought into our lives so much joy and life!!!
Thanks for letting me share my story, it really helped me to talk about it. Hugs to all your critters out there and give them a special hug today from you.

Oh Carla, I am so so sorry. My heart is breaking for you right now. I truly know how hard it is to lose our four-legged furry family members. I hope the memories and fun times Yogi gave you all will help ease your pain. I loved the video of him eating his dinner. Take care!

Oh, Carla! I am so sorry. I know so well what you are going through. May you find comfort in knowing that Yogi will always be with you...in your heart. There will be sad days, trust me...I know. But at some time you will reach the point when smiles replace the tears as you think fondly upon the happy years that you spent with him. And Carla, I will tell Missy the Boxer to keep her eyes open for Yogi at the Rainbow Bridge...You, your family, and Yogi are in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Sending hugs! I have been through a similar situation and it does hurt. Take time to grieve. You and your family are in my prayers.

Yogi looks like he is part or all great pyrenees. We had a pyr and she lived till 8 years old and died of the same thing. We thought it was just a bladder infection, too! I know the pain you are going through. We just get too attached to them! Hugs to you and your family
