So Quick...my Baby Burnie Has Gone!, I need help!! Options

[Farrie]

Hi Everyone

So glad I found this site, where we can all relate. Our animals are not animals they are our family.

My girl, blue cattle dog Burnie. She was 15. We had her since day 1. She is my best friend, I love her so much.
She has always been an energetic loving healthy dog, pretty much was always like a puppy. Never anything ever wrong with her, until Friday night when she would not eat her dinner, she was stagering on her legs and breathing shallow. I immediately felt sick as I knew this was not her at all. We rushed her to the vet for an after hours callout. The vet checked her out and said it could be due to the really hot weather we have been having. So we brought her home, somewhat relieved. Hopefully she would be better by morning.
Early yesterday she was no better, if not worse, we rushed her back to the vet, the did tests and x rays to find she had a massive tumor in her stomach that had spread into her lungs. There was nothing they could do for her. We went to the vet and said our goodbye's I was holding her crying, not wanting to ever let her go. We all were will her when she was put to sleep.
All of this in less than 24 hours. We had a healthy happy dog one second and now she has gone.
I cannot stop crying, I can't eat and I havent slept yet. My baby has gone and theres nothing I can do. I want her back so much, I miss her so much!!!I have lost my best friend. I feel my heart and guts have just been torn out of me! I just can't stop the pain that I am feeling!
I just want to share this with people that understand and chat with them. As I know we feel the same about our beautiful little babies.

What a beautiful girl!! such a happy looking baby. I really feel for you losing her, it hurts so much I know. Burnie looks similar to the Australian kelpie, they are cattle and sheep dogs we use over here. We have two of them and they have the most beautiful natures. Special hugs to you.

Hi Madi

Yeah she's an Australian blue healer. We're here in Australia. As you know they are so energetic, she was full of life until the end!

YES!! a fellow Aussie, now there will be someone online in my time zone when I am. Are these people not the greatest Farrie? they saved my life. I joined an Australian forum at first and I never got one reply and that was at a time when I thought I couldn't last one more day without help. Gees I was a mess back then. I'm glad now anyway, because I wouldn't have met all these wonderful angels if I hadn't joined this forum. My daughter has a dog that looks like Burnie, he is a cattle dog called Pepper, he is a Coolie, not sure if he is a pure breed or not, but I think all these cattle dogs have a similar look and nature. I live in fear of anything happening to that dog because my daughter just can't live without him. My daughter and I went on a recent trip to Melbourne to visit my other two daughters and a son who live over there and after three days she got so homesick for Pepper and ( her parrot ) she had to fly home. Her husband is a stockman and takes Pepper to work with him and when he gets home Pepper jumps off the ute and makes a bee line straight for the house and his mum.
How are holding up Farrie? are you coping? I know only too well where you're at at the moment and I send hugs to you.

Jan was the first person to answer my plea for help when I first came on this forum and she has a special place in my heart, her and her beautiful angel babies. Then there's our Dottie, the angel who has been through so much herself and still works extra hard to cheer us all up, bless her. Gees, she a character, love her to bits!!
