    Awwww….. I’m so sorry Madge for your loss. There’s nothing more loyal or loving than a persons’ dog.

    I’ll always remember one of your shows where you and Chauncey went walking along the lake front and you could hear how happy both of you were.

    Goodbye Chauncey, here’s to your life!

    Madge, I’m so sorry to hear that another member of your family will be leaving you. Oh hell yah, I do consider a pet, a member of the family. Bless U Chauncey! Even though we’ve never met, you will be missed. Peace and Love from a redheaded stepchild with downs – Dag

    Madge, it was a hard decision — really hard — but a good decision. I’ve had to do that one myself. I don’t envy you. I do feel for you.

    It does remind me though, that one time some idiot made a phone comment to your show and thought that Chauncey was your lesbian lover or something. Obviously he was a first time listener / first time caller. All I could think of was Chauncey sitting there trying to visualize what this guys was talking about. Can dogs have puzzled looks on their faces?

    BTW: Your most direct language skill immediately taught the listener that Chauncey was your dog.

    I’m so sorry for such loss in your life lately. I am glad we got to meet, hug, and give treats to Chauncey on several occasions. He was a real sweet dog. May he rest in peace.

    Madge,
    Sorry for your loss. Chancey’s now in your heart in the form of sweet memories. I heard you talked about the mail man story, going to the park. Brought tears to my eyes.
    We love you. People who care for you, really respect you, will support. Those who want to pick a fight with you, will do so regardless of what you do.
    Be true. Be strong. We love you.

    Sorry to hear about Chauncey, Madge. It’s funny how the little ones that can’t say a word can get so close to your heart. Take care.

    Madge,

    Sorry to hear about Chauncey. I know what it’s like. I had to put down my in 2000. She was my companion and friend for 14 years. She stuck by my side through my marriage and divorce from my wife and then through my 7 year relationship with my husband.

    Much love to you…

    Chauncey has been such an integral part of the show. We will never forget him. I remember when I had to make the same decision for my little princess Audrey. It was so difficult and I can only say that you, Chauncey, and Trotsky are in my thoughts.

  37. TimCantReid Avatar

    Madge,

    It’s a decision none of would want to make, granted. I would only hope that if I was in the same shape as Chauncey, someone would love me enough to make the same decision you did.

    I sure as hell hope things start going your way one of these days. Love you.

    What a horrible part of life — the part about bidding farewell. We lost our two greyhounds in the past few years. So painful. Hugs to you.

    So sad to hear about Chauncey, good memories of you all on the way to/from Miami when I first joined listening to Yeast Radio way back in 2005.
