Good dog

We're so sad... Elvis had cancer, and there was no hope. And yet we hoped. He died on the operating table Saturday afternoon. He was a prince.

Kelly, I'm so sorry you lost Elvis. I know how much it hurts to lose an old friend and integral part of the family. My heart and thoughts are with you.

Oh Kelly, my heart is so sad for you in the loss of your beloved Elvis. They are never with us long enough. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Steve. Elvis was a lucky guy to have such a loving family.

OMG! He was way cute when he'd sit on the patio watching people eat through the screen door.

Elvis was the canine King, and he is missed. What a lucky dog, born into the Brewer family, who loved, spoiled and adored him, just as he loved, spoiled and adored you. We join you in your sorrow. xo Elvis fans, doni and bruce

I was not expecting this outcome from the first post. I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Elvis, but I am sure he was the best dog and well loved. My condolences to you and your family.

KJ-
OMG. We are all sorry and heavy hearted at our house, too. He was so much smaller a decade ago--almost exactly--when we took him to your house in the white minivan. We had no idea how big he would get or how sweet he would be.

He turned out like some gentle giant, rather Steve's daemon if you go with notion of owner-reflective creatures that appear in The Golden Compass.

He helped raise the kids, helped guard the property, did two states and three houses, taught you about skunk management, and enriched lives even beyond your family.

We all miss him. For his happy dogly tearing and chewing in the great beyond, I wish him all my individual lost socks that vanish into the ether. We love you, Elvis.

That is such a sad story. My heart goes out to you.

With luck, he'll hook up with my pal Porter, who hopped the fence on this mortal coil a couple months ago.

Good dogs are hard to say good-bye to. They take a piece of us with them, but they also leave a lot of love behind.

My deepest sympathy.

Kelly and family, I am so sorry for your loss. There is no doubt that Elvis was an important member of your family, and his death was certainly unexpected. My thoughts are will you during this time.

I'm so so sorry. He looks like an amazing dog. I don't think I could go through the death of another dog in my life right now and yet I would love to adopt another one.

Kelly and family;
I am so sorry and I am thinking of you.

My heart is with you,
