As some of you may know one of my cute miniature jack russel dogs became ill a few months ago. After numerous visits to the vets and emergency vets I took her to a heart specialist it appears she was born with mitral valve stenosis .

With this type of heart disorder they only live to 2.5 she managed 5.5 years.She had shown no signs of any illness up until recently.
She became breathless again on sat night I thought if i just calm her down and get her to sleep she would recover as she had done in the past.
She became worse and worse and the look on her face of help me please was heart breaking.

It appeared to me that this was now her time she had done nothing excessive at all all day.
I comforted her through out the night as best as I could she eventually died in my arms at 7.45 am on Sunday morning
The heart break has been unreal I can only liken it to loosing a child
This has been the worse day of my life
I buried her in her favourite spot in the garden

sad time
RIP my little one gone but never forgotten
all fellow animal lovers will know how the kids and I are feeling right now

Charlie at 5 years old RIP my love




Charlie with her twin sister charlie is on the left






Meet jasper 7.5 weeks old

 

very sad tony.

know what its like from personal experience.

all the best

 

sorry to hear that tony, as you say its like loosing one of your family

 

I will try and post some pics of her and her sister up soon but it is too heart breaking at the moment
anyway rightly or wrongly I went and bought another one he is called jasper and is 7.5 weeks old it had to be done he is ace
had Charlie been 15 or so I would have been ok but she was so young such a short life she brought so much happiness into mine and the kids life in her short time with us.
As some of you may know my childrens mother left them 6 years ago and hasn't been back since the puppies were brought to help them through this bad period for this we have to thank charlie she brought so much happiness to us in her short life

 

I lost one of my dogs earlier in the year so no exactly what it is like.

My thoughts to you and your kids

 

Very sad....know what it's like to loose a pet mate.

 

Very very sad Sorry to hear that, losing a pet is awful RIP

 

Sorry to hear this Tony, I know how it feels i was heartbroken when my german shep died

 

sorry to hear that mate!!at least she isnt suffering but it still doesnt make it much easier.

totally see why you went and got a puppy.

 

Tony

How sorry i am for you mate , The last time we spoke you were telling me about the little dogs problems

How very very sad i am to hear this story , Im sat her now after going to cuddle my 2 dogs after it upset me to hear you lost your best friend

I can only imagine how gutted you are

RIP litte lass

 

Sorry to hear this mate. Can only imagine how heart broken you must be

sounds like she was a fighter though

RIP

 

Thank you all for your kind words
a dog is for life unlike a wife lol

 

did exactly the same paul, called my labs upstairs to my work room for a quick play and a cuddle.

feel so sorry for you tony

 

Sorry to hear your sad news Tony, know how you feel we lost our cat a couple of years ago, he was only young too, it hurts like hell.

RIP

 

Really sorry for you - its a horrid feeling.

Alex

 

I have a Jack Russell too, and I'm not looking forward to the day her time is up

Sorry for your los,s R.I.P

 

Sad times, but it sounds like you got more years with her than you expected at least.

 

If your wife had only lived 5.5 years after marriage, you might have managed it

 

feel for you mate, I got 4 dogs, all small breeds.
Tony please dont make the mistake i did a few years ago and get another pet that looks the same as the one that passed, as it will only dispoint you, but i would deffo say get another when you feel upto it, my Pomeranian will have uppies in 4 weeks or so, if you want one, PM me and you can have one for free,

 

tony i can only imagine what you must be feeling.people without dogs just wont understand how much a part of the family they become.chin up mate.thoughts are with yous

 

it sucks,i know how hard it is
i was gutted when my first family dog died,he was 15 and we had him since i was little, he was there since as long as i could remember at the time
was like losing a brother

 

thy certainly do become part of the family

hope the new one gives you some happy memories too

 

very sad

 

Sorry to hear that tony

 

a bitch is a bitch, but a dog is a mans best friend


sorry to hear of your loss Tony, my missus gets really upset at the thought of loosing our Henry and he is only 18 months old

 

sorry to hear that, im sat with our puppy on my knee, only had him a week and it would break my heart now if he died, let alone in 5 years time

Sarah

 

rip - sorry to hear it tony

 

Sorry to hear that Tony

I know exactly how you feel as I've been there too

 

having her die in your arms and watching her take her last breath is heart wrenching
but if I had had her put to sleep I would have always felt guilty at least I know it was her time

 

they are part of the family after all, just think of the good times

 

Sorry to read this buddy , I know how much the pups mean to you :-(

I hope the new one turns out to be the great friend you deserve and helps to fill such a large hole that is created by losing a furry friend.


P.s your still a miserable old Cunt

 

RIP little one.

mate know how you feel, lost mine wen he was 13, 2 years ago. i was five when he became. I was heartbroken is an understatement, still think of him now

 

yeah thats what i found hardest,can remember the night my dad had to take him the vets to be put to sleep because he had gotten too ill and wouldnt eat anything, saying goodbye was just awfull its like he knew it was time to go though
i watched the movie marley and me recently and i was proper tearing up at the end because thats exactly how ours went

 

my heart goes out to you mate - can only imagine how devastating it is. I dread the day. At least there is no more suffering and she had a happy life with you whilst she was here

RIP little one

 

really do feel for you tony,be comforted in the fact you gave her a great life even though it was a short one .


ive buried three of my boxers ,one of which had a similar problem and passed away at two.

cheers james

Tony

I cany help but feel how lucky you were to be there for her and to be holding her when she went

Think of it from her point of view , what possible better way to go than in the arms of somone who you loves and who loves you back so much

I think its perfect mate , I know its very very hard for you but a special moment for you both
