She had breast cancer during the last year of her life. The day before she passed, we took her to the vet as she was having trouble breathing.
The x-rays showed it had got into her lungs and one lung was at 20%. The vet gave her some pain medications and we went home for 1 more night together as we decided to ease her pain the next day. During the night around 2am, she yelped out (we think she had a heart attack) and i held her in my arms as she looked up at me and seemed to be saying its ok daddy. I know she must have been in pain that night, but im glad she got to be home in my arms when she went instead of a strange place and her last view was of a stranger.
We do not have kids and i know i don't have to tell any of you that we thought of her as our kid. It was a very hard time for me especially and i cried all morning and that evening. I still think of her and go back to the pics we have of her time to time.
Some may think its silly for a 38 year old male to cry for a "dog"! But i dont care, im actually getting misty eyed just typing this. It took a long time for us to get another dog but our new baby is bringing joy to our home.
It brought tears to my eyes too and I guarantee my husband will cry when our two go. They are like our kids and they weave a special place in us that is just hard to describe but its there and there is where they will stay until you can meet again at Rainbow Bridge...
Im so sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you and I hope your toby helps you heal as much as my romeo did for me, My shannon had breast cancer and then lung cancer aswell.
Im sorry for your pain
im so sorry to hear about baby I also know what its like to lose a fmaily member they always say dont get another. well i did, they will never take the place of my Goliath but it sure did help ease the pain.
In memory of "Baby"
The story that you had written was so sweet. Baby seemed like a very special dog and a loving companion.
