Can I have a hug? I lost my dog today...
she was almost 11. She's been in my family for all but two months of her life. We saw her through hyperactive thyroid, liver failure, Cushing's Disease, surgery on her leg, a cortisone shot that stunted her growth, and so much more. But she started breathing funny last night so we took her to the emergency pet hospital this morning where they said she had congestive heart failure. She passed away this afternoon. Too many strikes against her, I guess.

She was the cutest little beagle. (The picture is fuzzy, I know, but it is the only one on my computer right now and I wanted to put one up.)

:cry::cry:

2. Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss!
I know how terrible that feels. :hug: Beagles are such wonderful, happy dogs and she looks like a sweetie, fuzzy photo or not. I know you're in pain but it sounds like you gave her a wonderful life and a lot of love - remember that.

Many hugs to you. :grouphug:

13. This always seems to be the most appropriate reply to such bad news
Last Night
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peek.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.
- Author unknown


I am so very sorry....Tammy

34. Losing a friend like that is often harder than a human friend.
I grieve with you for the loss of your best friend. The common dog. Their only wish is to be by your side, to protect you from all danger and to comfort you when you're down. You will see her at the bridge...........

35. *sniff*
Grieve not,
nor think of me with tears
But laugh
and talk to me as if I were beside you.
I loved you so . . .
'Twas Heaven here with you

40. I'm so sorry.
We lost our beagle, Katy and our border terrier, Toby. Katy died from congestive heart failure at 13. And, Toby died in his sleep at 17. Broke our hearts. It's been 3 years, and we still cry for them sometimes. We have 3 cats now. They have been a great comfort.
