Guest TeddysMom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Last Thursday was a normal day, the dogs were all acting normal, they ate their normal food, Teddy was his happy go lucky self. That night he came up on the bed with me as usual for his nightly love and affection then went into the living room where he always slept on the couch with Spice. When I got up on Friday morning, I found him dead on the couch. He just looked like he was sleeping. I have never been so devistated. He was my first greyhound and was only 3.5 years old, just a puppy. He had just been to the vet and checked out perfectly. I opted not to have a necropsy because it wouldn't bring him back and I didn't want him cut up. The vet thought it might have been a heart defect that was never caught. Please don't take a day that you have with your babies for granted, you never know when God might call them home. I have been in tears since Friday morning and even all the other dogs seem to be morning. I loved Teddy with all my heart and now I will never get to love on him again. I miss him so much, he was my perfect clown and made me laugh everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mychip1 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Oh, My!!!! I am so sorry. How tragic and devistating! May Teddy run free. At least, though his life was far too short, it was filled with love. The loss of a young one rips your heart right out of your body......And yes....each day is a gift.

carronstar Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I am so very sorry for your loss of Teddy. I too learned not to let a day go by without loving on my girl. Hang on to the fact that Teddy lived every moment with you in the "now" and surrounded by love. He didn't know he was leaving. That leaves the pain for you to bear but that is the very small price we pay for the joy they give us. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Godspeed, Teddy.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 OMG!!! Anita! I'm so so very sorry. He was way too young. This makes the third "puppy" that we've lost recently. It's devastating. Absolutely devastating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeddysMom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks for all of you kind words. My brother told me the other day that the only way to not have our hearts broken is to never love anyone or anything but I can't do that. I am glad that I am able to love even though can hurt so much at times. It has been a horrible year for us with my DH having ongoing strokes and also recently loosing my 19 year old boxer, Lady, and my very old maltese, Princess. Most of our pack has been with us for years and are getting very old so I have to expect losses but it is the unexpected loss of our young happy babies that hit us all the hardest. Sometimes I really don't know how much more I can take without totally loosing it. Thanks again for you kindness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
