I lost one of my babies yesterday. It was so awful. Candy has always been such a sweet dog, such a loyal and loving "child". She had a quirky personality. Didn't really like everyon - especially kids! She adored my son Charlie and with me she was the best. Her and Cindy (my 13 year old chihuahua) have always been inseparable and Cindy spent the entire night last night looking for Candy and crying when she couldn't find her. Candy died of a heart condition. We were in the car on the way to the vet and she had very labored breathing. I'm convinced she knew she was dying. While on the way to the vet she climbed onto my lap and stood on her hind legs to cuddle in my neck - something she always did when she was scared. All of a sudden she starts to bleed from her mouth and nose. I stopped the car - hysterically crying by this time - and just petted her on my lap until she died. Such an awful experience. But at least I was holding and loving her when she took her last breath.
I am so sorry =( She really was a great dog and Charlie loved her so much... I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what to say. Sad, so sad for you because of Candy's passing. Happy for you because of Leo's homecoming.

You did what you needed to; be with her until the end. Be blessed that you had her for 12 wonderful years. She will always be with through your memories. That is her gift to you.

Elenita so sorry that you loving pet had to go. Amazing how God does not give us more than we can handle. So happy for you with your daughter's return. I miss you!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. How horrible for you both. Thankfully you did get to spend her last minutes holding her and know she knew she was loved. Gentle hugs my friend.

Oh, how very very sad. I cried when I read this. I am so glad you were with her at the time. I'm sure it made Candy feel safe, warm, and very loved! What a joy to have had her in your life for those many years, and now, what a joy it will be for you, to have your daughter back in your life. I wish you all the very best, and happier days ahead.
