Thank you!

I just wanted to thank everyone for posting to me about Xena.  I still cannot believe it.  I cant stop crying.  I am glad I was with her when she passed and I did everything I could to save her.  I even called 911 and they had a vet on the line in like 2 seconds.  I have awesome memories with her and I am truely going to miss her.  She was only 5 and why did she have to leave us so soon?? Hubby and I had no children and our dogs were our kids and this is killing me.  Sully my lab will not leave my side. THanks again everyone.... SHannon

shannon i am not sure what happened to your beloved dog xena but my heart goes out to you at this time!!! i know what its like to lose a pet that was like a child to you!!!! please accept my condolences.

hugs

Thank you so much- she was  only 5 and she had a heart attack from the fireworks- she died instantly and I was right there with her.....I am devastated beyond words...I am blaming myself for letting her out to go potty- if I would of kept her inside she would still be alive :( S-

(((shannon))) i am in tears here about this happening to your pet!!! did she show signs of being afraid of loud noises before this?? my spike was scared to death when he heard loud noises of any kind and i was also afraid he would have a stroke or heart attack from being so afraid....but he met a horrible death last year....its on my profile if you care to read it. again, i am so terribly sorry this happened!!!

hugs

Yes- I knew about your poor little doggy and I was heartbroken too- didnt respond because we werent on good terms but felt horrible for you.  She has always been afraid of fireworks- I thought they were done and took them out.  But they just took a break and started up.  I was horrified to see her have a heart attack and drop.  Thanks for the kind words- it hurts so bad... Shannon

thanks shannon...it still upsets me to even talk about spike....it killed me moving away from him (he is buried in backyard) i did take the rose bushes that were planted around his grave....just hope they come back to life since the move!!!

it will take time to get over her death but know i am here if you need to talk ok?? just PM me and i will get your message.

hugs

I'm so sorry this happened; dogs (pets) are so important and it's definitely heartbreaking to lose them.  I'm sure she lived a wonderfully fullfilled life with you and dh. hang in there... lara

Shannon, I'm so lucky that I was able to meet Xena.  She was one of the most beautiful, gentle dogs I've ever had the pleasure to meet.  I hope that you, Bob and Sully are able to get through this terrible time.  Hugs, Jenn

Shannon,  I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pet.  The reciprocal love we have with our animals is real, and pure.  I send you a hug as you begin the grieving process, and may your good memories comfort you at this time. I had never heard of an animal passing in this way before, it was good you shared how it happened with us, so that we know an animal can die of fright. Deb

I sooo love animals and especially dogs. I am sooo very sorry for your loss. I went thru a similiaar thing, and cried all day and all week at work. the pain is so real. we grieve so...much.  what a horrible way to lose your precious companion. it sounds like you have the love and comfort from Sully, your lab.. how wonderful. I have a special spot in my heart for labs... hugs and gentle healing, Ann
