Bo March 1994 - March 2005, Loss of my beloved Mini Schnauzer Options

[bohummer]

I knew the day would come, from the day I rushed him to the emergency room and the vet diagnosed him with congestive heart disease. Despite all the medications prescribed and given, I knew it would come.
I hated the thought of that day coming, I feared it, I refused it, in spite of all my efforts I knew it would come.
I treasured each passing day with guarded expections and hopes of many to come. But that day came anyway. Two days ago I lost my friend and companion and the gift of a lifetime.
My grief is passionate but private. For most he is considered only a dog, a pet that many people have, but few truly love.
I pray that anyone who loved their pet as much as I loved Bo gains some comfort from my words knowing there are others who are hurting just as they are.
God bless all of you who shed tears for the loss of a pet.
I sat down on the floor by his side next to his pillow bed where he had died that day.
Even in death I held his little paw and stroked his head and he comforted me..............

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Bo. It's the most difficult thing to say good-bye to our beloved pets. They are such an important part of our lives and not a lot of people can understand why we are so devastated when they leave us..... "only a dog" ....Never!! Everyone here knows exactly how you feel and will help you as you travel this painful road.

Thinking of you.

Take care,
Lynn

I am so very sorry for your loss. I wanted to thank you. I did find comfort in your words. I knew my beloved Risha had congestive heart failure too, the meds, the prayers. I lost him on March 1st. I love him so very much, it's not possible to describe. Thank you for understanding, and know that you too, are not alone.

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious little boy Bo. I know how horrible it is to lose a precious baby. I lost 2 babies within 6 weeks time and it hurts so much. Never had I thought of them as just dogs, they were and are my babies. I loved them with all my heart as I'm sure you did your sweet Bo. I too have always thought of my girls as a gift too, a gift from God, Please come and tell us more about your little boy. We all know the pain and sorrow and heartbreak that tears our world apart.

I am so very sorry for your loss. My toy poodle passed last month-3wks ago. He had congestive heart disease and was on meds for quite some time-1 1/2 yrs- and then he went into renal failure 3-wks ago. I miss him every day, every minute and hour. He wasn't "just" a dog. He was our baby, our boy ,and we love him. Our furbabies are family members even though there are those that think not......just a dog/cat to them.

I'm so sorry. My border collie died of the same thing. It was completely undectected in her until it was too late. All her other organs had become affected. It was unbelievable how quickly she crashed. The vet says that often there is warning, but sometimes there is not.

I'm sorry you lost your beloved friend too.
