My Koda

My Koda

Today is a sad day, i am losing my beautiful little girl”KODA”.

She has been diagnosed with cancer. She’s only 3 1/2 yrs old.

Her brother and i will miss her terribly.

Eric – I am SO SORRY for your loss. Sadly Rottweilers are more prone to cancers than most other breeds, it’s a tragedy and so heartbreaking. I am sure that Koda has had a great life with you, even though it has been way shorter than it should have been. She was, and is, loved and I know how awful it is to lose her. Time won’t erase that pain, but it will help you to remember the happy times more than the heartbreak. You are doing what is best for her, no matter how hard. God Bless you both. ~ sue at a-love-of-rottweilers.com

I’m so sorry you last your baby girl so young. I’m sure you gave her the best 3 1/2 years. My rottie got sick at 4 and they thought it was cancer and it ended up being a cyst in his neck heh was sick and at osu for a year I shared my story on here so others might know what to do if they are in the same situation you should check it out if you haven’t it’s under my 4 yr old rottie has growths on his spine. I know how I felt thinking I was losing him and my heart aches for you.so sorry lisa

Koda NEW
by: jackie

This is so sad. I feel your heartache. I’m sure Koda had 3 and a half wonderful, happy years with you, unlike some poor animals that suffer so much at the hands of evil people. I lost my Sam (she is on this site) to cancer in 2011. I still cry today when I read the letter I wrote to her during the days leading to her going to sleep forever. I now have two beautiful rotties who are 3yrs in February and they’re living the dream. I love this breed so much. R.I.P. Koda I bet you were one gorgeous girl! I hope the family you left behind will give love to another when they’re ready. God bless you xx
