I am so VERY, VERY sorry :( my heart is breaking for you I just looked him up again on GH data, I knew he was young but not THAT young. This just SUCKS.

TwiggysMom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Macho's Mom, I am terribly sorry to hear that your time with Macho may be nearing an end. As much as everyone's story here is heartbreaking, yours has always been even more so, because your time with him has been so short, and he is too, too young to be hit by this disease. I wish some miracle could come along to give you more precious time with him. Even though I've never met you, I can picture you reading Adventures in Wonderland to him. The thought of it makes me smile - and he must just love it. I will be holding you, your partner and Macho in my thoughts.

greysmom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm so very sorry you're going to lose your Macho..................... I've lost a greyhound before their first Gotcha Day. Someone told me that she needed to come to us so we could send her on her new journey from a loving home. It's never good, but it's especially hard when you feel like they just got there.

MachosMom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks everyone. I dont think my heart has ever hurt so much from the loss of a furkid. Maybe it has and Ive forgotten how bad it feels. He has people coming tomorrow and Thursday to say their farewells and give him hugs so although we will try to stop crying, i know there will be a ton of tears here forward. Sept 2 would have been his first gotcha day also. :( I promised him we would finish the book and tears or not we will. Quote Mom to Macho (JS XtremeMachine 1/12/2007 -8/17/2012 ...

MachosMom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thank you all. The appointment has been confirmed (I can't bare to call it anything else). Friday at 5 (Eastern) we will officially send our baby to the Rainbow Bridge and I feel like complete crap. I've tried to be strong so much today but have not been successful. Our group leader is coming by in a couple hours to say his farewell, and tomorrow we will have some other people and their greys come over to say farewell too. I don't know if I'm strong enough to get through this. :brokenheart I didn't think my heart could break into such tiny pieces. Quote Mom to Macho (JS XtremeMachine 1/12/2007 -8/17/2012 ...

MachosMom Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Its so empty here. Yes I have another dog and a cat, but its just so empty. Its not right. He gave me so many smiles these last three days that I will always cherish, but this isnt right at all. The vet who came was lovely and just perfect for this crappy situation. So i am thankful for that. I miss him so much and in so many ways. There is no real preparing for the void left behind. Quote Mom to Macho (JS XtremeMachine 1/12/2007 -8/17/2012 ...

Wishes for peace and strength. Though we've never met you OR Macho for that matter...it is a blow to to heart for all of us anytime one of us loses one of our babies. I think it is because all of us here either have experienced the kind of pain that you are experiencing, or we know that we will experience it at some point when we lose our own osteo pups who are still fighting. In my case I feel it from both sides...every time one of our friends here loses an osteo pup, I am flooded with the grief I still carry over losing Sutra almost two years ago now...and also with the worry and dread of losing Pinky. Losing a pup is hard no matter the cause of the loss, but there is something about losing a pup to this dreaded monster that just guts you.
