Losing a young one is so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry your precious Teddy couldn't have stayed with you longer.

I am sorry your Teddy had to leave so soon. Friends of ours just lost their 3 yo too. So heartbreaking when they are so young. Run free sweet Teddy.

This helped me and I hope you may find some comfort from it too::grouphug

The Gift

I’ll lend you for a little while my grandest dog, he said.

For you to love while he’s alive

And mourn for when he’s dead.

It may be one or many years,

 

Or days, or months, you see.

 

But will you, till I take him back

 

Take care of him for me?

 

He’ll bring his charm to gladden you,

 

And should his stay be brief

 

You will have treasured memories

 

As solace for your grief.

 

I cannot promise he will stay,

 

Since all from earth return.

 

But there are lessons taught on earth

 

I want this dog to learn.

 

I’ve looked the wide world over

 

In my search for teachers true.

 

And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes

 

With trust, I have selected you.

 

Now will you give him your total love?

 

Nor think the labor vain,

 

Nor hate when I come

 

To take him back again?

 

I know you’ll give him tenderness

 

And love will bloom each day.

 

And for the happiness you’ve known

 

Forever grateful stay.

 

But should I come and call for him

 

Sooner than you’ve planned

 

You’ll brave the bitter grief that comes

 

And someday you’ll understand. ~Author Unknown

I am so very sorry for your loss of Teddy. He was definitely too young to leave and am sure you are heartbroken. We are all grieving along with you for the loss of another beautiful pup who left too soon.

 

Run free Teddy, run free sweetie...:gh_run

I am so sorry. Now more than ever it hits home that every day is a gift indeed; it does not take away the sting of the loss of one so young, though. Godspeed, Teddy...

I am so sorry for your loss. It really takes a long time for the pain in your heart to decrease. I know, I lost Bear on President's Day. He had osteosarcoma. I had been taking him to a vet that told me he did not know what was wrong with Bear and why the pain meds were not working. When he said that I took him to another vet that told me he had bone cancer and showed me where his bone was about to break. I had Bear sedated and my husband and I said good bye. Bear had tears in his eyes and Jim and I cried. It is awful to have them cross the rainbow bridge. I cannot imagine finding them dead on the couch. When your heart is ready get another. Bear sent us Jethro the very day he died. A lady had found an abandoned greyhound, Jethro of Rukaus, and the owners did not want him back. He is the best dog ever. He even plays fetch.

I'm so very sorry. The pain of sudden loss can be hard to bear (I know from personal experience), but is made so much worse with one so young. Run free, Teddy.

Your message rings true! Every day is a gift and for your Teddy, fewer days were available. I am very sorry for your sudden loss. He went with no knowledge of his departure or pain but that makes it harder for those who are left behind. Please accept my condolences for Teddy and hugs to you in this difficult time!
