Don't be sorry... I know too well how you feel.

It is very hard to come back to the forum after losing your heart.

Razzy broke my heart more than any of my loves except maybe my first angel Puppy Dog. But in a strange way it brings comfort to be here with friends.

Go with the flow.... it will get easier.

I am so glad you have new loves... I have one too called Cassie.

She will never be Razzy but she is a handful of mischief that keeps me busy and makes me smile.

Ahhhh Kelly... it is so nice to hear from you.... but please don't ever feel you have to apologize .... saying goodbye is so so hard...and we all deal with our sadness the best way for us. Boomer will always be remembered here with many other EPI companions....... but I am glad to hear that you have opened  your heart to more pups.....and i am sure Boomer, whereever his essence is, is also pleased you are giving love and a home to others. 


Please feel free to post pictures of the new family members here... we would love to see!

Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.
