colterphoto1 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Travis, Sorry to hear of your family's loss but the memories will never cease. The story of the little girl who was no longer afraid is a fantastic memory and you will take that with you forever. Barry Malcolm was truly a special dog to help that little girl with her fear. That is a very tenderhearted story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinerman Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Travis, So sorry to hear about your loss. Malcom was a huge but very gentle dog. After picking up the Khorns from you, back in April, my granddaughter talked about him for weeks. It's very hard to loose a friend like that. Once again, sorry to hear about your loss.

boomac Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Travis, Being my age and spending years on a farm Ive seen many dogs come and go. The losses get harder but on a very positive note; I continue to have quality memories of each and every one of them. Even the old hound that my Grandmother beat with a broom for eatin a big ole ham she left out on the back porch. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Please accept the condolences of Boomac and current pal Scout.

jcmusic Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey Travis real sorry to hear about your loss, I lost one years ago to what the vet said was a freak accident. Her stomach flip around inside of her and she sufficated. Because of that I will never own another dog. I feel your loss my friend, just know he is in a better place.

Gilbert Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well Travis, Sorry to hear about you loosing a good pal. I've been there a few time myself. The best cure is to go get yourself a new pup. Here's a picture of my hunting buddy, Hank, taken Nov. 2006, he's just 10 months old here. Take care, and let me know if you got my PM that I sent you a couple weeks ago. My daugther calls him Hank The Tank The Butterball Bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Here he is at 3 months, driving my cat Boudreaux up the freaking wall. Ole Boudreaux use to have the house to himself, then Hank moved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp1954 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Canyonman. I had a golden retriever that the same thing happened to .. Seems it is more common than you would think. The vet told us that it is usually larger, active dogs and usually occurs shorly after they eat. Seems that the extra weight from the food can help the stomach twist if the dogs happens to jump or roll over wrong. It literally flips over and caused internal gas buildup. My goldy was only 4 years old then and really a sweetheart. Damn I've had some good dogs!!! And each one of them were special.. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Loves Khorns Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Travis, So sorry about your loss. Amazing how much it can hurt when a special pet dies. My little boy's 2 favorite cats just either ran off or went the celestial farm so to speak. Hurts me so to see them hurt. All the best, buddy, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted June 16, 2007 Author Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thanks to all of you again for your well wishes. They really did help in a very difficult time. I liked seeing Scout and "the Butterball;", another reminder of the cycle of life. Young and full of life. My wife and I decided we are going to wait a couple of months and then start looking for another pooch. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 A home without a pet is a lonely home indeed. Glad you're considering another dog down the road. They will never replace those that passed on, and there'll be fond new memories created in addition to the memories you both share right now of Malcolm. I think Malcolm would've wanted it that way...

colterphoto1 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 You guys may not be cat lovers, but speaking of 'circle of life' I lost one of my kitties, Macy Grey last Thanksgiving. About the same time a little white kitten showed around here.It was feral and even I could not get it tame enough to truly take in, get to the vet, etc. A few weeks back she showed up at the door with these. They are no replacement for mydeparted Macy, and I have two other adult cats. I'll have to give these away and unfortunately trap mommy kitty for the humane society, but it's nice to see that there is rebirth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you need a good mouser around your place? They sure are cute, glad you are a 1000 miles away because my wife is putting the heat on me for a white cat with blue eyes, and one of those looks like it could be close.

synthfreek Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Travis, Nyleva and I are so sorry to hear about Malcolm. We just read this a few minutes ago and we're still shocked. I'm emailing you some photos that I took last year and I'm adding one here that's a little out of focus but I like anyway. Malcolm made such a huge impression on both of us that we'll never forget him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.4knee Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Travis sorry to hear of your loss. In our home our pets, 4 dogs (12 yr old, 1 year old and two 4 month old Belgian Malinois), a 15 yr old Maine Coon cat and one Bearded Dragon, are all treasured family members. Our cat Taz is on that slippery slope and our 12 yr old Malinois - Alex is starting to show her age. When the time comes for them we will be devastated. Each animal even the damn lizard brings a certain special something to our family. I truly feel for your loss. R/Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Travis, Eric I just realized it has been over a year since we did the Central Texas Klipsch party. Time has gone so quickly! How about we all try and meet at Rudy's BBQ? Weekends are better for me. Found one more of the magnificient Malcom and Eric! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 18, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2007 Travis, It is evident that Malcolm touched more than just a few folks on this forum. He appears to be such a loving animal. What a big teddy bear he was!!! I wish the best for you and Kelly as you search out a new puppy for your home.
