On Saturday we were given the terrible news that tumors had spread into Deebo’s lungs. He was only breathing at 20% of his capacity and it was causing his heart to beat double time. This could have caused him to suffocate from lack of oxygen at any time. We had a special last day with him. We made him a filet for dinner, he got a peanut butter filled kong, and rotisserie chicken. We had a picnic with him on Sunday and he got to say bye to his Grandma and auntie. We got his paw print so I can get a tattoo to remember him by. We sang with him (one of his favorites) and then at 9PM the vet arrived to send him to the rainbow bridge. It was the absolute hardest decision that I have ever had to make, but I couldn’t let him get to an emergency situation and suffocate or take the chance that he would suffer. He took his last breath surrounded by me, his daddy and his frenchie sister. I haven’t been able to stop crying and I keep looking for him. I’m thankful that I had 10 1/2 incredible years with him. He was the little love of my life and I will miss him forever. He was truely a special boy.
we are so truly sorry to hear of deebo’s passing. you did a very brave thing, and gave him the ultimate gift, by not letting him suffer. the video of you guys singing is priceless! deebo will always be with you, and hopefully, with time, the wonderful memories will start to push the pain aside. love never ends.

We’re so sorry for your loss… didn’t realize you had just said goodbye when commenting on your most recent post since it only had the song. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Run free of pain and rest in peace sweet Deebo.
Debo, you taught your pawrents to be strong when they needed it most. What a hard, but honorable thing to do.
We are so sad that your time on this earth is over, but you left a paw print on all of our hearts. You will be deeply missed, but some day we will meet again.
May your spirit shine on. We love you.
So sorry to hear about Deebo and it spreading to his lungs. We had a dog Bonnie who passed from lymphoma even after rounds of chemo because it had spread to her lungs….
I would be honored to write Deebo’s name on the back of my custom shirt for a K9 Cancer Walk in October. If you would like to see the progress on my shirt please visit my forum post at

(maybe copy/paste). Please leave a comment on the forum post if you would like me to add his name. Chloe (my tripawd) and I would love to walk for him at the event.

We are so sorry for the loss of your most loved Deebo.
Peace.
So very, very sorry for your loss. You will miss his loving physical presence but, as Charon and Gayle said, Deebo will always be with you.
I am so saddened to read about your sweet prince. My heart goes out to you. Please take comfort in knowing that Debo is still with you and will be forever in your heart. That will be one very special paw print tatto. So sorry for your loss.
