Thunder 2001-2008, I feel empty without you Options

[jena7483]

I cant belive your gone. You were just fine Sunday Morning. You ate your food and went for a walk. You were sitting normally, begging for food as we were eating, then all of a sudden your scream in pain, your body collapsed to the floor and you began twitching. 30 seconds later your stoped breathing and your tongue fell to the floor. What happend to my baby? I didnt een have time to save you. You were in pefect health and now your gone. Why did you have to leave me so soon? You were only seven years old. My heart aches without you here. I turn around thinking I will see you in your bed, but I know you will never lie there again. When I come home you will never be there to greet me. I am so sorry I couldnt save you Thunder. You were the best dog in the world. You could never hurt anyone, and all you ever did was love us. I know your watching over me and feel pain no longer. You will live in my heart forever. The past four years you have filed my heart with joy, and I never knew I could love a dog as much as you. Someday I will see you again. Until then just know that your family loves you for all eternity RIP my special angel.

I am so sorry to hear about Thunder. 7 years old.....he deserved more time. It sounds like this was really completely unexpected.
It is a horrible devastating experience to go through. He really is a beautiful boy...I can tell from his picture.

That's when life is just the cruelest...where you feel there was absolutely no reason for something devastating to happen. I say when it is their time to go..all control to stop it is taken from us. With your situation...total control was taken away instantly..that is cruelest of all. Normally, at first when something happens we may be allowed some control...going to the vet..trying medications, surgery, tests, and just maybe, if we are lucky, there will be an answer to help them. Or, we go through that and it is fate just drawing out what will happen to change our lives forever. Even though it is heartbreaking to have one's hopes taken away..I think what you went through is much worse...no chance of feeling hope.

Years ago, I had one dog at the vet's for testing and got a call at 11 PM one night..that the dog had died...unexpectedly. She was seen earlier and was fine. I think they were so surprised they asked if I wanted an autopsy and I said Yes...I wanted to know WHY she died. Well, the answer came back that there was no reason why she should have died. Every organ examined, etc., showed nothing wrong.
But to never know why she died....that was a very hard one to live with but in time you realize it won't help to heal to wonder when there is no answer.

I am so very sorry about Thunder. I know your loss is overwhelming. Take time grieving..allow yourself to grieve. You may wish to post more pictures of him or tell some stories of him...his memory will always live in you and if you want to share any part of it with us...we are listening.

Hugs to you and your family...and especially to your Angel and Guardian...Thunder

Hi Jena, I am so deeply sorry for your devestating loss. What a beautiful dog and a tragidy at that. I just can't imagine. I hope you can recover quickly from this. I'm really at loss for words. If this was meant to be his fate, well, at least it happened in the comfort of his home. My heart goes out you. Take care. Ann
