When a pet dies...

[Sabeking]

I'm sorry Jenasis...praying for your hurting heart. I know you are an animal lover. Was he around the horses much? I always wonder if the other animals get that something is going on.

No. He had a bad habit of wanting to chase cars so we kept him in our fenced yard. Our other dog, Lilly Belle (she's a a blue tick coon hound) seems like she knows. She's been a little more subdued than her usual.

I assumed she would; they are so tuned in. Love Lilly Belle up extra and comfort one another

He was a beautiful lab! I'm so sorry

Last year we lost our yellow lab tragically, unfortunately, in front of my 13 year old daughter. I posted here when it happened and everyone helped me get through the pain and the anger. My husband took my daughter and our lab on a hike (which I didn't know or I would have kept our lab home) and he died on the mountain (from the heat).

I couldn't go downstairs, couldn't make dinner I was devastated and trying to heal my family without trying to stay angry. My husband was besieged with his guilt. He was only 4. To make matters worse, they had to leave him on the mountain over night because it was getting dark and my daughter was traumatized that the authorities were worried about her. I heard her crying in the shower for an hour. It took her weeks to finally tell me what she saw. The other hikers walking by, a lady tried to take her away, a biker took a picture. It was horrible.

Husband, son and his friend and a volunteer hiked back up the next day at 4:00 am to bring him home. I just about lost it when I heard him warn the boys he may not be there or animals may get to him. I waited in tears all day. Thankfully, he was untouched and they brought him home and we have his ashes which my daughter keeps in her room by her bed. Thankfully, the nurse at the hospital said he looked good and they would clean him up and I could come in and say goodbye. He looked like he was just sleeping but I cried for him to wake up and come home.

I couldn't take the quietness of the house, the sadness for my daughter who wouldn't sleep in her room because she sleep with him there, she moved into my son's room who went to college.

We waited 6 months and then found a Golden Retriever breeder. They had the pups on a live web cam so we could watch them all day. Then we got to pick one out and she put a purple collar on him and we would watch him even more.

He's beautiful and so sweet and cuddly. And I smile when I see a fur ball. I have someone to talk to all day long again. Needless to say, he sure is spoiled. And I told my husband I'd leave him if he took him on a hike

It's so hard. Some people just don't understand, but a lot of us do!!!

Sorry for your loss-it's been ten years since my beloved Freckles crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and I still miss him. I keep his tags on the front of his box which stays on my desk. I have his collar in there along with a lock of his hair. It's awful to lose a pet, especially if they were devoted to you.

Your Canine Guardian Angel

I know that you must miss me,
By the tears rolling down your face.
But believe me when I tell you that,
I'm in a very good place.

There are meadows here to run in,
And plenty of rabbits to chase.
There are other dogs to play with,
To frolick with and race.

So please don't worry about me,
My spirit feels light as can be.
There's no more pain to plague me,
I'm young again and free.

And I'll be watching over you still,
of that you can be sure.
I'm your canine guardian angel,
And my love for you remains pure.

I'm so sorry about your dog. You must have wrote about him in the past before because i recognized his picture. I remember thinking what a beautiful furbaby. I am another person whose dog died a few years ago. The house was so lonely when we didn't have our yellow lab anymore. I still miss him so much to this day.

to you and your family

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your post made me cry.

I know that it is the hardest thing in the world to go thru.

 

[Tinkermommy]

I am so sorry. We had to go through this twice with our dogs. We still miss and talk about them and it's years later.

You rescued him and gave him a loving home. The last decision you made for him was just as loving as you taking him home as a pup.

Wishing you much comfort.

I'm so sorry. What a pretty dog he was. His photos brought tears to my eyes. We had to put down our 12 year old golden, Winnie, a few months ago, as she started having seizures, and her hind end also wasn't working well, especially after the seizures started. It broke my heart to let her go, but I just couldn't let her suffer, even though she was smiling and licking our hands as the vet was putting her down.

I am so sorry for your loss! I've walked a mile in your shoes several times, and it is never easy. They are family, and it hurts.

He will always be with you, in your heart and in your memories.

I'm so very sorry. You did the right yet most difficult thing.

What a beautiful dog! I am so sorry for your loss

We lost our Harry not so long ago and we miss him terribly. Charlie, who was a puppy at the time, also misses him and goes hunting for him all the time in his bed, the garden, everywhere. It's heartbraking.

I know what you're feeling. In May our Spencer passed away without showing any signs of illness. He was a 14 years old. I'm sure he liked to brag to the other dogs about his trip to WDW.

Then at the end of July, we lost Shelby. She's the dog in my info here. She just stopped eating. We took her to the vet and they ran test after test but couldn't pinpoint the issue. We made her comfortable and that was all we could do. She was 12 and had given up the fight.

On Monday of this week, we found out our Remi has cancer and 6-9 months to live. She's too old (14) to have it removed or for aggressive treatment. Right now she's is fine but I know that soon we have to euthanize her. Spencer and Shelby are buried in our backyard. Remi will go and just sit near them. So either she misses them or she understands what is happening to her old body and that her time is coming to a close.

We still have Ranger and Sayler. But I don't think I can handle anymore dogs after what we've been through this summer. It's just so heartbreaking.

Hugs to all that have loved and lost.
