It is with great sadness that I am blogging today. We lost our sweet Elizabeth, our “Ellie B”, this past Monday afternoon. Our hearts are very heavy, but we wanted you all to know that our little Scottie’s battle with Lymphoma is over. You have all been so kind and thoughtful, sending your good wishes and advice. Jac and I both so appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. We know that her bad times have come to an end and that she is out chasing all those bunnies .
Much love to all,
Louis & Jac

Dear Louis and Jac,
I just saw this sad posting. I’m so sorry to hear this news. They give us a lifetime of love in their too short time with us. I lost my good friend and veterinarian not long before my Sweetpea died. I will always believe that he went to be with all the animals he loved. Ellie will find him there to welcome her, too.
Dear Louis and Jac,
There are not words to tell how my heart aches for you both in your loss of “Ellie”. When I read your sad news -I cried. She looks to be the sweetest “babie”one could ever hope for.I’m sure she was.
I know how you feel, in that a part of your heart has gone with her.
I have a Shih-tzu, her name is Annie. We call her “baby girl” even though she is 8 now. She was just diagnosed with Lymphoma herself. I know the day will come when she won’t be with us anymore, here on earth, but, I believe God has created a SPECIAL place for all our Fuzzy Babies.
Take care,
God Bless you Both,
Shari

Dear Shari….so sorry to hear this news. What course of treatment, if any, have you decided upon? I can tell you from having two Scotties with cancer….bladder and Lymphoma….the chemo only goes so far….a year to a year and a half. The big problem is what the chemo does to their little bodies. It may keep the cancer under control for a while….but it starts to destroy their immune systems. As long as Ellie’s quality of life was good we continued. She put up a good fight and was happy for a long while, but she let us know when she had enough. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but the doctors assured us they could do no more for her. We miss her every day.
Thankyou Louis for the kind “understanding ” words. We have decided to “keep her free from pain”. No chemo at this point. She woke up this morning with a bladder infection and very bloody. (sorry for the graphics) Right now she is on Clavamox for this.
Annilisa ,”Annie”, is a trouper and soft at the same time. You must picture this little 12 pound black and white sweetheart who has alot of clothes, even jammies! ( she wishes they were Linea like mama’s !!)Isn’t it something how we come so dependant on these little creatures and they on us??
One day at a time, is how we are going to go through this.
No suffering is another thing we have promised.
Take care
Dear Louis and Jac,
Our hearts go out to you both. We pray that you find comfort in knowing that you gave Elizabeth a wonderful life, the best care, and all of your love.
With our deepest sympathy,

There are no words of condolence that I can offer to ease the pain of your loss, but my thoughts are with you and Jac. From your photo I can see the regal carriage of Elizabeth and how she got her name, and that she was a love and eager to please…what a pose! We are blessed to have the unconditional love of our pets, even for a short time; they warm our hearts. Love to you both.
Dear Louis and Jac and Annie,
I am so sorry to learn of Ellie’s passing. I know how much she meant to your family and what an important part of your lives she was.
As you know, I lost my dear blind dog, Timothy, a few months ago so I understand what you are going through.
My other dog, who really just ‘tolerated’ his little brother, suddenly went into a real depression after the loss of Timothy. We found it helped to remove all of Timmy’s toys, wash multiple times all of his ‘blankies’, etc. to remove his scent. (Our remaining dog would circle his brother’s bed and toys endlessly, until we removed things and did a major laundry.)
Annie will need a lot of emotional support, but of course she will be providing the same to you. Don’t be surprised if she suddenly starts to mimic some of her sister’s traits. My Shepherd mix 13-year old has taken on some of his brother’s traits, going from a totally alpha ‘big guy’ into a bit of a momma’s boy since his brother’s passing. Timmy was always my ‘baby’ but now the big guy follows me around non-stop just like Timmy did.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
Just saw Ellie B’s picture. Such a beautiful girl. I have always loved that breed even though my husband prefers large breeds. Our current boys are a Gt. Pyrenees and a young Newfie.
Last November we lost our previous Newfie at 2 years to myasthenia gravis. I found great comfort in making a mini scrapbook of his photos.
Dear Louis,
What heartbreaking news. I know that you and Jac have many wonderful memories, and that Elizabeth could not have been with anyone more loving and kind. Best wishes to you and all your family.

Dear Louis and Jac,
I am sorry for the loss of your Elizabeth but know that she is now running like crazy over the fields beyond that Rainbow Bridge. We had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who several years ago had the same condition and lost him in just a matter of weeks. How much I missed our Tennessee Major, but I did not like seeing him in pain at all. Just yesterday my sister-in-law lost her eighteen-year-old cat who has been her companion for so long; and she, too, is missing her companion. Know that as a pet owner (or do they own us?) I feel for you both.
Dear Jac & Louis
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Ellie B. I so know what you are going thru. You gave Ellie a great life and she will always watch over you. I asked my dear golden retriever, Codi, to go and greet her at the Rainbow Bridge where they will play and romp together until we go and meet them there.
God bless,
Linda from Mass.
Dear Louis and Jac, please accept my deep sympathy on the loss of your sweet Elizabeth. May you be comforted by the knowledge that you gave her a loving home and accepted her unconditional love and may you be warmed by your fond memories of her. Mourning her will take time, and allow yourself that time. It is true that our pets are with us for far too short a time, but how wonderful that they are there for us.
With love,
Judy
Hi – Please accept my sincere condolences. I too have lost pets and the loss of losing a family member is great.
Louis and Jac-
I am so sorry for the pain of your loss. Dogs are so faithful and loving, and so deserving of the very best love and care, which you gave to your Elizabeth. After such a noble fight, it must seem unbelievable that she is gone. I hope you stay close to your loved ones at this sad time, so that you may comfort one another as you start out on a new chapter of life- yes, perhaps with new animal friends in store, but still, without Elizabeth. I do believe that we will see our beloved furry friends again in heaven.
Love,
Celia
Dear Louis & Jac,
I write this email with tears in my eyes and I can only just imagine how difficult this is for the two of you. Love and prayers to you both on the loss of your beloved Elizabeth Margaret Taylor.

My condolences. I’m sure you and Jaq along with Annie are devastated right now. Our furbabies are with us for too short a time. I am sure your Elizabeth is happily chasing bunnies. Remember the good times
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your pet, Elizabeth. It will get easier as time goes on, keep good thoughts and God bless. Chris/Jazzmom
Dear Louis, Dear Jac, you are heartbroken, of course. How could it be otherwise? I know it all too well since my beloved Paloma died all of a sudden of a heart condition some months ago. Besides the heartache, my main problem afterwards was her son, my little Merlin, who became very depressed. I stayed home, more than I usually do, to keep him company, although I was a poor substitute for Paloma. I remember that you wrote at some point, that your little Annie was always besides Ellie. She will miss her sister tremendously. It is very good that you are not traveling at this time, because she will need both of you more than ever. This is the time to spoil Annie in special ways, as I am sure you know.
My heart goes to the three of you. With much love.
Dear Louis and Jac,
Please accept my condolences. The loss of such a companion is heart breaking. I have 3 dogs now and I dread the day I will have to face the same thing. Over the years many pets have died and it is so difficult to accept. Soon I hope your sadness will be replaced by wonderful memories of your little girl.
Dear Louis and Jac,
You both have my condolences. Their time with us is so short, but the love and joy they give us is priceless. May your family find comfort and peace.
Oooooooh, I’m so sorry Louis and Jac. It is always a dark time in my household whenever we lose one of our animal family members. I have been an animal owner and lover my entire life and it never gets any easier when one crosses The Rainbow Bridge.
I have to believe that God in his mercy and love for all of his creatures has a place for them and that they will be there to joyously greet us when we cross over. I am always grateful for the time I have with them here.
I’m sorry for your loss. Hard to believe how dear we hold our furry little friends isn’t it? Best wishes to you and Jac and kind thoughts to the other pup who must be confused right about now.
Dear Jac and Louis,
Tears came to my eyes when i read your post today. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth Margaret Taylor with us. I hope that you can both find some peace today.
Love to you, Sheryl
Dear Jac and Louis,
I read with much sadness about the passing of your Elizabeth. I know all too well what that feels like. If it is any comfort, the years of pleasure we get from our furry ones is truly worth the grief we feel at their passing. I have loved hearing and reading about “your girls”. Please keep us updated on your other Scottie. She, too, must miss Elizabeth. May Elizabeth have many bunnies to chase!!
Much love, Marilyn M.
Dear Louis,
My heart goes out to you and Jac on your loss of Elizabeth Margaret Taylor. It should be of great comfort that she was truly loved, and that that horrible disease no longer causes her any anguish. She was fortunate to have you and Jac these several years. I hope there will be better days ahead for you and your family.
As always,

Dear Louis — My heart is with you and your wife and for your dear Elizabeth Margaret Taylor who is now at peace once again.
