Forever In Our Hearts-- <3 R.I.P. Lance 10-30-2005 to 5-3-2014 <3 <3

Six years ago I was looking up some info about corgis and came across this site. I am so grateful for finding such a wonderful corgi community. I have met some very wonderful people. Lance got to go to corgi meet ups with his buddies and without this site that wouldn't have been possible to meet other corgi owners.

Lance was diagnosed with auto immune issues three years ago. His liver stopped functioning properly, and leaking fluid into his abdomen. We had the fluid drained last weekend and within five days it filled back up more and ended up starting to fill up to his lungs making it hard to breathe and eat.

It is with great sadness I have to write this blog, we loved him so much. I will miss snuggling with my little snug bug, as well as my two daughters, husband and Tucker will miss his play mate even if they werent able to play recently. We rescued Tucker 3 years ago ( March 6, 2011), shortly before we found out Lance was sick (July 2011). He came into our home like he had always been there. He comforted Lance when he wan't feeling well and waited patiently til he felt better. What a lucky boy Lance was to have Tucker be so patient with him. Tucker found his long lost brother. There is so much we will miss about Lance. He never played favorites and loved us all equally.

There is never enough time with them no matter what. He just had his 1/2 birthday which made him 8 1/2 on the 30th of April.

Rest In Peace Lance without pain, we love you so veryyyyyyy much. <3

So sorry! You all fought so hard (including Lance) to manage his illness and enjoy his life. I wish they didn't have to get sick. At least he had so much love and good care. I hope your family is doing okay. From the pictures you can see that he was a very sweet dog.

I'm so sorry to read this.

RIP Lance. Run free at the Bridge where there's no pain or sickness and I hear there are unlimited treats with no weight gain.
