My fur baby died today. She was 10 1/2 years old. Vet thinks it was her liver. She was hemoraging when I got a call to come home from work. She was laying right where she would be on a regular nite to greet me. Only today, she was waiting for me to come home and say goodbye. 15 minutes later she was gone. Ambulance came 5 minutes later. Sandy is now with my Mom & Dad, She is also with her mother whom we put down a month ago. Please pray for her and for me to get through this. She was all I had left after I lost my Mom 2 years ago. She was my baby.... I feel so lost.
Hi MarineMom613,
I’m sorry to learn of this sad happening in your life. I know that there are those that might not quite understand the bond that exists between someone and their pet/pets, but it’s as true a connection as many others that we may experience in our lives. I hope that you will find solace in your memories of your sweet baby and as a fellow mom to several fur babies(feline), I want you to know that I empathize with what you are going through. Thinking of you with real sympathy,
Mila
Very sorry... I felt that way too when our Suzy (shepherd mix) died suddenly and unexpectedly a few years ago. Our furry friends sure do find a way to work their way into our hearts, don’t they?
I’m so sorry. Prayers up for you.
Dogs are one of God’s greatest blessings...
God bless you my dear
lost one of my babies over Memorial Day - still weeping. in fact i just lit a memorial candle to commemorate her life. that helps. i like to keep remembering. i know that ultimately only time helps.
I’m so sorry. Our pets are part of our family. It hurts so much when they leave us but always remember the love they brought into our lives.
Picture?
amen to that
Condolences to you, MM613. That big ol’ hole in your heart will fill eventually with all the good memories you shared with your furbaby. In the meantime, grief is the price we pay for love. You loved and there is nothing to regret about that.
I am so sorry to read of your loss. It is like part of your heart & soul are ripped out. Many of us know all too well. 5+ years for me since Oliver left me & a day doesn’t go by that I do NOT think of him & miss him dearly.. many tears still
There are no magic answers for healing that I know of. You must go through the pain. And yes, God does provide new companions but that will never diminish the love you shared with each other.
Thanks for letting us share your life & pain right now.. and do know you have support here when you want it!
I forgot to say, you’ll know when you are ready to find a companion (not a replacement, a comforter). Please do not deprive yourself or the four-legged friend who will need you as much as you will need him or her.

I’ve walked in your shoes. It is truly a sad day.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. I am sitting here in shock. She got sick so fast. I called an ambulance and they got here alittle after she passed. She waited for me to come home to her. If I knew she was so sick, i would never have left her today. Knowing she suffered is killing me. When I got to the vet hospital where the ambulance brought her, I told her to go straight to Mom & Pop, that I would see her on the other side, but for now stay with my Mom. I pray she is sitting with my Mom right now, totally at peace. God, It hurts.
I am sorry you lost your friend. I lost my beautiful Mastiff in March. My heart was so broken. Then my sister went to the Humane Society and got me (2) eight month old puppies and I will tell you that I instantly almost forgot about my beautiful dog. The puppies need so much attention that it is hard to remember anything before them.
Your post brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been there. It’s heartbreaking. I’m so glad that you got home in time to say goodbye.
God bless and be with you until you’re able to bear it on your own. You’re in my prayers.
