My sweet Brooke lost her battle with DCM on May 24th.....

She was a very unique dobe, as Arda can attest to. She had a very strange behavior of attacking herself. Aside from that behavior she was one of the sweetest dogs I've ever encountered. She loved to be in my lap, and you could hug n kiss on her all day long. She slept with me everyday, I miss her night time snuggles. She loved to travel, she even went to England for a few months. Her last trip was just a week before she passed, we went to Niagara falls. More than anything Brooke loved food, she loved getting Her meds cause she got them with can food. Her eyes would light up, her legs would tremble, and she would stop at nothing to get that food. She would trample over Tyson or anything in her way once she heard the meds bottle shake.

We managed her CHD with meds for several months, she was doing so well. But it came to a point where meds weren't helping her anymore and I had to make that very difficult decision to send her to the bridge to wait for me. I miss her each and every minute of each and every day. I had Brooke for just over 7 years, we celebrated her gotcha day back in March. I made her doggie cupcakes and she ate the treats off of everyone of the cupcakes while I was trying to take pictures. She was such a goofy girl, I will miss her so much. Life is so different without her. Not sure Tyson has figured out his friend is gone, I think he was looking for her today in the back yard. I know I wake and haven't got use to her not being there. She would leap off the bed the minute I stirred in the morning, as if to say "she's up she's up hooray she's up!!!!!"

My heart is broken but know I was Brooke's only chance. Her behavior was incredibly tough to deal with at times, in fact in those seven years I had her I didn't get a full nights sleep without her doing her growling and snarling at her butt. The car rides were the worst. She would scare the life outta me.

Run free my sweet Brooke, until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

You took her father than anyone else could or would have.  Her only life was with you.  I really know how hard this must have been on you.  She is free of her demons now.  Run free Brooke.  Finally at peace.
