    Two losses in one week

    My husband and I are huge animal lovers and last week was the hardest week we have ever experienced.  Two of our dogs became ill within a month of each other.  Dusty our long haired Chihuahua, was thought to have seizures.  We treated with meds but he became worse.  The doctor decided he had a brain tumor and the following day he suffered a stroke and we had to put him down.  Our 13 year old poodle, Teddy was diagnosed with liver failure on the same day Dusty was found to have a tumor.  Teddy as well could not be saved.  We lost him within 3 days of Dusty. 
    Many people do not understand how much a pet is a part of your family.  Our loss is felt every day and we miss both Dusty and Teddy deeply.

    I am so sorry for your losses. Two at once is exceptionally difficult. Please take comfort knowing that you gave them excellent lives.

    My heart hurts for you[X(].  My prayers are with you.  Take comfort in the hopeful healing powers of a new day.  One day at a time.

    That is definitely hard to handle...I lost a dog and a cat within a week of each other as well, so I know how much you are grieving for them.  Run free now Dusty and Teddy.

    My heart goes out to you.  It must be so hard losing both of your babies within such a short period.  I am so sorry.

    I am so sorry to hear of your losses...I lost my beloved Lhasa Apso, Muffy, in January and that was very very hard...I can't imagine losing 2 within the same week.  My heart really goes out to you and a lot of prayers!  At least you know they are not sick anymore...guess my little Muffy has 2 more friends to play with now!

    How horrible.  I feel so bad for you.  It's hard enough to lose one animal, but to lose two.......I'm so sorry.
    • Gold Top Dog
    You must be devastated. I am so sorry for your painful loss. Hopefully someday you can find comfort in knowing that they did not suffer long, and went as friends across the Bridge.

    I can't imagine the sorrow you and your husband have after losing both Dusty and Teddy.  We thought of FeFe as our child -- some people cannot grasp that thought while others completely understand where we're coming from.  Please know that we'll keep you and your husband in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
