My dog died

[James.]

Last Saturday I took my dog to the vet because she was not eating much and was breathing funny. They told me she had a large tumor. We put her to sleep. She was only about seven. I miss her. She was my camping buddy.



Peaceful journey Puppy.

Re: My dog died

This is such sad news!

My last cat stopped eating suddenly and when I took him in they said he was in organ failure. The blood work showed he had such little oxygen in his blood that they suspect he had bone cancer from birth. He didn't even make it to the 2nd shot. He died in my arms. He was 1.5 years old. I was heartbroken.

A month later, I adopted my current kitty, Kizme. Turns out.... Kizme LOVES the outside and he hikes and camps with me! Kizme just turned two years old.

Thanks for giving a dog such a good life. I pray you find peace and maybe be able to find a new camping partner.

I'm so sorry James!

Re: My dog died

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet is like losing a child. She looks like a happy girl in the photo.

We lost our Daisy a year ago. She was the perfect camping dog, she loved to hike and she almost never barked.

I'm sorry to hear this James. Our pets become so much a part of our lives, it really hurts when they are gone.

Re: My dog died

Always sorry to hear of the loss of a companion... We humans are odd creatures. Bringing these balls of fur into our lives, knowing we're signing up for some heartbreak down the road. But that doesn't stop us from doing it again and again. Remember your friend and all the good times you shared. Then, when the time is right, open your heart to another friend that needs the good life!

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your fur buddy. It is a painful loss. Thoughts to you.

Re: My dog died

Thanks everyone. She was a rescue from the pound and had (I believe) anxiety that made her a little aggressive but she loved us and just wanted us to love her. God help anyone that might have broken into the house. I always felt bad that I was never able to help her get over that. We found out after bringing her home that she was not only scheduled to be put down the day after we adopted her but she had been saved by donations twice before that.

Re: My dog died

You gave her the best life she could have for as long as she lived. You can't do any better for any furry friend you bring into your home.

Re: My dog died

She looks a bit like my Batdog. I had her dna tested: shepherd, chow, sharpei, beagle, boxer, corgi, and german shorthair. The only surprise was the shorthair.

Batdog has people issues also. Some comes from the chow and sharpei (they can both be aggressive), some is "corgi rage", and some is beagle intensity. And it was triggered by a vet who had no dog sense and did everything wrong during her 1 year check up. The shepherd makes her very much a one-person dog.

Very sorry to hear about your pooch. I hope you get another one and can give the gift of a good life to another deserving dog.

My deepest condolences. It always hurts to lose a fuzzy friend, but you can also take comfort in remembering the good times you shared and the knowledge that you gave them a good, fulfilling life.

Thanks to you both. My wife has said no new dogs (we still have two). I think mostly because Scully was kind of an asshole. But she loved me to death and like I said was my camping buddy. She was always so excited to go camping and was almost a different dog when in the forest.

Re: My dog died

Well, you arent entirely dogless, but if they arent camp dogs, its not quite the same. Its great to have a companion roaming the hills and woods. its a different sort of bond. I like to think back into the distant past, of all the dogs and people out exploring, hunting, roaming, adventuring together. About any walk is a grand adventure to a dog, they could easily be stalking mammoths or cave bears out around the neighborhood, but they still seem to appreciate the true grand adventures.
