Bill Simmons, who writes the
Sports Guy column for ESPN.com posted
a heartwarming tribute to Daisy aka "The Dooze," his Golden Retriever who recently lost her battle with cancer. The Dooze was barely 6 when she died.
Both Billy and Jill suffered the loss of young dogs. Billy's Portie Gabriel was almost 3 when he died tragically. Gabriel had swallowed pieces of an allegedly indestructible nylon bone and he passed away a few days after the surgery to remove the resulting blockage. Jill's Miniature Poodle Filbert died during surgery to remove a growth on a toe. Filbert was only 10 and in the prime of his life.
Simmons reminds us to revel in the moment with our dogs and to be thankful for our time together, even when it's cut painfully short. Read his article and have a good cry. Then, in honor of The Dooze, grab a tennis ball and enjoy some playtime with your pooch.
Gidget the Chihuahua who stared in many Taco Bell ads proclaiming "¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!" has passed away. Gidget was 15 when she suffered a stroke on July 21, 2009 that ended her life.
