Last year I inherited two small long hair Chihuahua dogs. My mother pass away on June 5, 2008 and left two sweet little dogs.
I have always been a cat person and sadly I had to put my cat down Oct 8, 2008 he Teddy was almost 15 he had trouble breathing and his lungs were filled up with fluid and the vet said there was nothing to do, it was so unexpected.
So that Sunday I had to put my dear friend down he was an orange tabby with golden green eyes.
These two dogs one was Goldie and the other is Foxie. Goldie was so gentle and sweet she was a treasure and I only wish I had a few more years with her. Her partner is Foxie he has different personality he is feisty and small he is like a little peanut.
Yesterday Goldie was prancing and somewhat playful Sunday I had taken her and also Foxie a couple of times to the vets I knew she needed dental work and had just gotten over Bronchitis and I was unable to take her to vet sooner so this week I was planning to take her in Wed.
Well this morning she threw up and it was white foam and specks of food than she started to shiver so I was watching her and decided to put her in a warm place and cover her will I keep praying what to do I had just gone downstairs to get the laundry and when I return up stairs I heard this awful sound she was coughing and let out a sound that was painful as I enter the room she was coughing up blood and my friend and I rush her to the Vet when I arrived I had thought she died they took her right way but could not retrieve her long enough she passed away.
The doctor said she had blood in the lungs and maybe a vessel burst and drown in her own blood.
It happen all so fast it does not seem real.
I was so invested in these pets and it seems so surreal now is just Foxie it is so numbing.
When these things happen unexpected my being was still in place to go forward for her dental Wed and now she gone it is over.
I just gone though this with my Cat Teddy if one is sick it seems you can't prepare but I have lost pets who were dying of cancer and that too puts you in a place of helplessness.
When my mother died it was a different kind of situation she was 86 and her world was shutting down meaning could not do her gardening which loved all her life and mild Alzheimer and vision going I could tell my self she is with dad now. I also tell myself that Goldie is with mother now.
But this void that is rip open and has not clue how long this will take to heal.
I am living in my parent home and being a senior now one reminisce about life and such a great appreciation and admiration of their journey here on earth.
My heart swells a lot when I think of them I am so thankful that they were my parents.
My dear sweet husband died Dec 6, 2001 I miss my love ones very much.
But most important is appreciation of those in your life I am so thankful that no matter those times or situations that would pull people apart that the Lord has a way if one heart desires to nurture those things and qualities and see the bigger picture that when they were alive one was unable to focus.
Sorry for running on just don’t know at this moment what to do with this void!
My prayers go out for you, my friend.
I am so very sorry for your loss and pain. Both your cat and Goldie will be waiting for you. And you were blessed to have them for the time that you did.
I’m so sorry. My condolences.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
So sorry for the loss of Goldie.
I understand your pain!
She is in a better place now! Remember her as she was.
You have my sympathy!
So sad for you, restornu. God bless.
I’m saddened by your pain. May you get through this time in a healthy way.
I know you are active with your church. Please turn to your friends, family and to God as you work through your pain.
May God bless you.
I look forward to the Rainbow Bridge MS.B....All my true freinds will be waiting!
Thank You!
You can’t stop missing them, trying will not help. It gets a little better with time. A little.
You are welcome, my FRiend!
You give California a bad image!
Ha! Thanks!
Mrs. Eagle and I send you our best wishes as do our dogs Molly, Sophie, Coda and Bailey.
My condolences to you. I’ve loved and lost pets and I know how much it hurts to see them ill or hurt, much less depart from you. We miss the sweetness they bring to our homes and our lives. I can’t take away the terrible sorrow you feel now, but please know that I know how it feels.
Prayers Up...
GOD Bless you and yours...
