Life is fragile - in memory of Doug
During the last year Uniteddogs and Unitedcats has offered dog- and catlovers the opportunity to share their love for their animals, we have also shared the loss of our pets. Our users have found a place where to talk about their dogs and cats who have crossed the rainbowbridge and found support and understanding.
Today, we have found that not only our beloved dogs and cats lives are fragile but peoples too.
UDC team is sad to say that one of our first users and moderators on English site, Doug, is no longer with us as he passed away suddenly in the evening of July 20, 2008.
Doug loved and lived for his dogs and cats. Many UDC users and animals got sweet comments and gifts from him. Moderators’ team will miss him, his ideas and discussions with him.
UDC admin team offers our condolences to Dougs family.

So sorry to hear about Doug. He was one of the first people to leave a comment to me about my dogs and cats. I will miss his kind comments and interesting observations.
Sincere condolences to his family

That is very sad. We send all our love to Doug’s family and his beloved dogs and cats. We know they will be grieving too. Doug was truly a loved member of the UD and UC family. I certainly enjoyed all my interaction with him.
All our love, Daffodil & The Furry Crew

This is such a shock! I actually was looking for birthday wishes from Doug for my cat, Jimmy B’s, birthday on the 21st.
Please give my sincere condolences to Doug’s family. It is not an easy thing, to lose someone, especially if it is suddenly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and with you, Doug’s coworkers.
Sincerely,
Kristin (and Jimmy B. and Meatman)

My deepest condolences to all at UDC and to Doug’s family. Doug was one of the team that made UDC work, allowing all of us who live with cats and dogs to be able to share our lives and our companions lives with the entire world. He will be missed.

The more for us to appreciate the people and the animals who touch our lives. I am sure Doug lived his life to the fullest because of what he was and what he had become because of his beloved pets. My family’s prayers are with his grieving ones.

Doug was very nice to me when I first joined and always was one of the first to comment or answer a question. My thoughts are with his family and he will be missed here.
