Nameless Wimp User ID: 34166864 United States 12/04/2013 09:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry for your loss, OP. I know it's really hard and really sad to lose your best friend! The dog I grew up with died while I was away at college. She's buried in my parents' backyard. I always stop by and say hello to her when I visit my parents. I went for 12 years without any pets, but just recently my wife and I adopted two terrier mixes. They've already changed our lives for the better, but I dread the day we lose them :( |
Doomish (OP) User ID: 8052347 United States 12/04/2013 09:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My 11 year old Golden "Buddy" died on my lap while we sat on his favorite couch, the comfort of his tennis ball nearby. We sat that way for about 5 hours, he was alert up until about the last hour. I'm an alcoholic, been sober for several years, Buddy got me through that. Paddled out on a surfboard earlier that day and caught some waves, thought I would never be able to experience that joy again, it was so far away, in years and strength. My pal Buddy went that night, would like to think he stayed around until he knew I would be alright. Glad I got to look him in the eye and say thanks, After I told him he was free to go it didn't take much longer. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33863384 Thanks Buddy Wonderful story. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Dogs are amazing creatures. They have that amazing capacity for unconditional love. Trying to bring GLP together.

Doomish (OP) User ID: 8052347 United States 12/04/2013 09:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My dog is about ready to go. He has a massive tumor on his tummy. Vet said there wasn't anything he could do. Quoting: ella It didn't seem to bother him too much but, since yesterday he seems as if he may be hurting. I think I need to take him to the vet. He has been with me for 12 years, maybe another day or two. This, I am dreading! My shepherd is 14 years old. It's hard saying good bye Your little guy, wearing the blue bows, you can see the love in his eyes. You did the best you could have done for him OP I'm sorry to hear about your fur baby. My mother and I had "the talk" about when the time would come to have her put to sleep. Hubby and I discussed it at length, but in the end, Ginger made it abundantly clear she was ready to move on to the afterlife. Trying to bring GLP together.

MONSTER User ID: 47033863 United States 12/04/2013 09:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My beloved dog was hit extremely suddenly by cancer. Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, she seemed healthy, happy, and perfectly normal. Her first seizure of her life happened Thanksgiving night and the second one on Friday morning. The vet took blood and ran several tests, suspecting Addison's disease or insulinoma (cancer of the pancreas). Quoting: Doomish We were told to give her many small meals to keep her blood sugar up, and Monday she was scheduled for an ultrasound to see if there were tumors. She had several small ones on the outer areas of her pancreas that were likely operable, but she had a massive inoperable one in the middle of her pancreas. Yesterday, Tuesday, we received the results of her Insulin RIA test confirming the insulinoma. Last night she went into heavy seizures, one after another for 45+ minutes and we were forced to put her to sleep. Between her first seizure and her last breath, we had 5 days. We thought we'd have more time, but God called her back to him for some higher purpose. She will be greatly missed and I hope God is enjoying her wonderful bright soul - it shone so bright she lit up every room she was in. I'll miss you, baby. I know there are a ton of pet owners who have similar stories. Please share yours with me. seeing her picture made me cry KINGDOMS, NATIONS AND KINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO THEIR KNEES WITH ONE GLANCE FROM A WOMAN.

I guess we can only hope there is a better place for the little benevolent beings.after my friend Floyd I only had one other pet,and he was rather forced upon me,insofar as it was my girlfriend's pet,she was moving in and I accepted him.He got horrific tumors and would try to extricate them with his teeth,to no avail.He was a Siberian dwarf hamster originally called Vladimir(red eyes) but I renamed him Nerdimer. God help us all.Time to weep. |

My husband wore a pair of windpants today that had zippers at the cuffs. The made the identical sound as her toenails as he walked. For the briefest of moments I forgot that she was gone.

Do you still miss your baby? I miss Bailey every single day, but our jobs as pet owners are to give the animals as best homes as possible; when they go...do it again and again and a again (ad infinitim) As much as it kills us to see them go, we have a continual obligation driven by our love for the animals we nurture. Seems funny that we humans allow ourselves to become so close with species whose life-spans are a blessed fraction of our own... Big love. Always here with you... Nick@ Pure Life; Get it on... |
