I'm so sorry to hear this---run free,Princess

We are very sorry for your loss.  Run free, girl!!

It's really hard I just can't believe she's gone I haven't eaten since she died just don't feel like it I got her remains back today had her cremated, it's hard coming to the house and having the other 3 dogs at the door waiting for you to come in and she's not there hard going out to the backyard and looking at the spot she always sat in. I want her back. I was going to get her body back because I just wanted her home but when I called they said they cremated her already just hope I did the right thing. I don't understand why this happened I thought she was getting better on christmas she even ate a little and wagging her tail and then 5am on the 26th I found her dead, I just feel like it's my fault I should of heard her breathing heavy should of had my door unlocked, maybe I could of took her to the vet in time to save her. I hate this, I miss her so much, I don't wanna laugh or have fun I feel that maybe it's to soon to show that. I just want her back, I keep thinking maybe she's scared and lonely I know she is I just wanna be with her. I should of pushed the vet more about her heart we were there on the 23rd and 24th and both time I said what about her heart even on the 24th when they brung her back from xray she wasn't the same she was sad and breathing heavy and I told the vet what about her heart and she said yet again lets not worry about that right now, she knew when we brung Princess in when she died one of the nurses said she had a heart problem no one ever said that before, wish they would of warned me because I didn't think she would die I thought she'll pass whatever she ate and be fine but now she's gone.

Please,please don't beat yourself up over this. You did everything you could for her,it just was her time.I know we've lost a couple of dogs suddenly like that and it's hard to comprehend, but God has his reasons. Please give yourself time and take things slowly----you WILL get better as time passes . We'll be praying for you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Princess.  It's very hard not to look back and wonder if you could have done more, or wish you had pushed the vets more, or gone to a different vet, etc. etc.  I've been in that position, too --- it's an awful feeling to have that guilt.  Even if your head knows you did everything you could, your heart always wonders if there was something you missed. 

When we lost our precious dog last year, I didn't eat much for a few days, and I didn't leave the house (or even my bedroom much) until I had no choice due to a work deadline on the third day after his death.  Smiling or laughing was the last thing I felt like doing, but small moments would catch me doing just that in the weeks following his death.  Those moments would be mixed with other moments where I'd cry uncontrollably.  In time, the scales adjusted so the good moments increased and the sad moments decreased, but it was a long, long time before I felt even close to normal.  Give yourself all the time you need, and take comfort in knowing that Princess isn't gone from your life entirely -- she's just part of it in a different way now, watching over you.  Take care.

I'm so sorry for your loss.   I know how difficult it is to deal with this, and how easy it is to question yourself and blame yourself.   Princess had a wonderful life with you - she was so loved and that love will live on forever.    When I lost my precious Michelle I didn't want to do ANYTHING (not even breathe !).   I beat myself and went over and over in my head if I could have seen a sign that she was ill sooner.   Eventually I came to accept that even if I could have done something that it wouldn't help either of us NOW, and that what is important is the present and the future.  I made a memorial for Michelle using a 2.5 gallon fishtank that I decorated on three sides with her photos,  on the bottom I laid a piece of her special "blankie" and inside I placed her collar and tags and her favorite toy.   Its in the dining room where I see it every time I eat - and it makes me smile.  I'm reminded of the 11 wonderful years Michelle and I had together.  I'm reminded of the love we shared.  And I remember the happy times - the goofy things she did, the way she'd lay on the sofa with me for as long as I wanted never leaving my side, the way we'd play "cuckoo" together (it was the name I used with her for zoomies), and most importantly I'm reminded that she will always be a part of my life and will live on in my heart even tho her physical presence is gone.

Run free Princess
