I'm so sorry about Phillie, and desperately wished for a different outcome for you. I'm sad to hear about AJ's demeanor as well. He's sifting through his own grief. When we lost Troy, Erin was frantic and beside herself. They were companions for more than 7 years and Troy was the alpha of the two. We were somewhat fortunate that she did not go on a hunger strike but she was definitely quiet and morose. In time, AJ will come to terms with his own loss. Dogs are resilient that way. I found my own comfort giving Erin special treats like boiled chicken, extra cuddles and quiet walks with her - my own way of making up for her loss. She came out of it eventually.

 

Please take care of yourself. You've been through a lot.

How wonderful that you were able to be with him through that last difficult time, and to really BE there with and for him, and for yourself.

Big hugs to you now during your own recovery.

So sorry to hear about Phillie. He was lucky to have your kisses and words comforting him at the end and I'm sure

he is watching over you now just as you watched over him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and AJ.

Godspeed Phillie, send your mom a sign that you are ok. Run with all the angels. :gh_run

Donna, words just can't express how sorry I am for you, Mia and AJ. My eyes just won't stop leaking. Please do take care of yourself. You're always taking care of everyone else.

 

Many hugs to all of you and a cookie to AJ. :dogcookie:bighug:f_pink:bighug

 

Run free, sweet Phillie. :gh_run2

I'm so very sorry for your loss. :( It sounds like his passing was gentle, surrounded by love and kindness. I know he leaves a huge hole in your heart. :brokenheart May your memories of the happy times bring you comfort. :grouphug

I'm so sorry Donna. He was such a young boy, it's so unfair that he left you so soon. You're a great mom (to your pups and sweet Mia) he knew how loved he was.

 

Naty is right about AJ, you'll work through your grief together and slowly you'll both start to heal. You, Mia, AJ and Phillie are in my thoughts. Take care Donna :grouphug

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

 

We lost our Anna to an insulinoma back in January. She did undergo her surgery successfully, but the nasty tumor just recurred a couple months later, and did so with a vengence. It's not a very common tumor in general, especially in greys.

 

My thoughts are with you.

I cannot begin to tell you all just how much your words of sympathy mean to me. Phillie was such a unique (aren't they all!), silly boy. He brought me through such a tragic event in my life and he was SO special to me. I really thought we would have years together, but... I am so happy of the time we did share. We had lots of fun together me and my boy!

The house is so silent without his constant "talking"... it's too quiet...

 

AJ at least is eating now. We've been going for walks together. He is such a spook, but I bring him out when it is quiet. I want for him to experience all the same fun stuff Phillie did.. so we'll keep working on it. He is still very clingy to me (even more than usual..didn't think that was really possible), but wants treats now and I suppose that is a small step in the right direction.

 

**** I did receive my sign that my boys are together... My boys are waiting for me...

Oh, I'm so sorry you've lost your precious boy. Cancer is a monster. I know your pain is so great right now. Maybe AJ is picking up on that, as well as being confused and missing his brother. I have a feeling that when you are able to smile again, he will feel better too.
