Poor little monkey....such a sad outcome for what looked so bright just a few weeks ago. I'm so sorry for all those that loved her. Arwen, sweet pea, rest well.

This is so sad. At least she had 3 good weeks and looked very content on her own bed.

My heart just fell when I saw this. Arwen, I am so happy you had the chance to experience being loved and valued. Brief thought it may have been, it was a gift given with an open heart. For Kim, I send hugs and a reminder that you gave Arwen love and a warm and happy place.

 

Arwen, run free and wild.

This is so heartbreaking....I don't even know what to say I'm in shock for this poor girl.

Beyond sad...poor Arwen and poor Kim.

 

I have heard enough stories about traumatized dogs running away from their new homes to believe that it really does happen rather often, even with all the proper precautions in place, and hope that she doesn't continue to beat herself up too much about it. My heart is certainly hurting for her, and I wish I could thank her for going to such great lengths to help this little galga and for giving her such a wonderful home, if only for very, very short time. When I look at the second picture, I see a happy dog.

Oh, no! What a terrible shock to see her name here, after our spirits had been lifted by news of her finding her forever home. It is heartbreaking, and seems totally unfair for her chance at happiness to be cut short after the trauma and abuse she suffered.

 

My heart goes out to Kim, and I'm sending prayers and white light for strength during this very sad time.

 

I think we all fell in love with her from afar, and are sharing the sadness of her passing.

 

Run free, precious little girl. You are safe, and will never be forgotten.

Oh no no no no no!

 

This is just so unfair. Just when she'd found heaven.

 

My heart goes out to Kim. I hope that one day she is able to focus the good that she did for Arwen in the all-too-brief time that they had together.

 

Godspeed Arwen.
