The Sweetest Thing Tetley 8/02-2/05 My 12 year old Yorkie, Tetley had been having problems for awhile. A year ago, he was refused insurance due to his liver functions. I was told they were a bit off but..nothing indicated anything else. Then, in September of 04 he stopped eating and was coughing and very lethargic. They did an ultrasound and concluded that he had a chronic bronchial condition but...with medication would be fine for a long time to come. At first, it seemed to work. In the last month, it became clear that something far worse was going on; he was lethargic; would pant at night...was sensitive when picked up sometimes. I kept calling my wonderful vet, changing medications, having bloods taken, x-rays done. Finally, another sonogram showed a nodule on his liver and a teeny mass in his intestines. The AMC did a second round of tests and THEIR sonogram showed nothing in the intestines but a mass in the liver. They performed every test and concluded that he could survive surgery. I was told it was his only chance, and so I opted to give it to him. He made it through the surgery, but after about 8 hours, he was upset by some attendant and started to bleed. They stabilized him, but then another 8 hours later, he went into cardiac arrest. I got to the hospital but he was already brain dead....I kept kissing him and apologizing and telling him I loved him and was there. he made a little sound that he used to make when he was being loved, and happy. And then I had to let him go. I sobbed for over an hour with his dear little body. They had found a tumor the size of a baseball in that poor little tummy...and if we hadn't operated, he wouldn't have lived...but my baby...my little soul mate. My heart is broken I miss him so much and his baby sister does too. Does the pain ever stop? I dream of him, his little ears flying in the wind with his squeaky pig, running into my arms....and never having to let go, ever again. I am so grateful for the privilege of having him in my life. It was just so so short a time. I loved that little dog more every single day. |
Im so sorry for your loss. Your little one is in heaven now and he is not suffering anymore. |
I am so sorry for your loss. |
Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear about your heartbreak. My thoughts and condolences are with you during this hard time... |
thank you so much. His baby sister has cancer. I'm just so overwhelmed. And she's lonely. If this treatment works, I will have to think about getting her a new friends, in a few months. I can barely think about it, today but..I don't know of any good breeders in the tri-state area and I know I need to do some research. Mostly..my heart aches for Tetley. I know you are right..God decides our time, not us...and I hope my little bear is somewhere safe and warm, free of pain, smiling that sweet little smile and knowing I love him so; and that I was with him at the end. That he will always be in my heart. Saying good bye is just so awful. |
Thank you, so much... |

She sounds absolutely darling! I'm glad that you have your little one during this time and I hope that she is able to fight that cancer too |
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Tetley. :unlove: May she rest in peace. Do you have any pictures you can post of her? We'd love to see the baby that you loved so much. |
Miss V. Your story of your loss over Tetley just broke my heart. In answer to your question, "does the pain ever stop?" I truly believe the pain that you feel will manifest itself into memories of all those years you had with Tetley into memories of joy and special times. You have been so blessed to have shared 12 years with him, so many others can only wish to have had that time. Don't rush your time in healing. Take your time to heal as you see fit. Intime, you will begin to notice Tetley's beauty in all the magnificent things you see around you. There in itself is peace within your pain, it will get easier, I promise. |
Rest In Peace Tetley "Fly" Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet. Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise the sun will set But I won't forget. |
Miss V - I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear yorkie. I know how you feel because I lost my little Foxy last Sept. I still haven't gotten over it yet. I have one of her babies to keep me busy and she is a joy but I really miss my little Foxy Lady. The baby's name is Fancy Pants. I hope your little Velvet beats this cancer thing. We will be thinking about you and wishing you all the best. Take care. Foxy and Fancy's Mom |
Oh my, I'm so, so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my Yorkie just a week ago and I know how hward it is, especially when we lose them to such illnesses. I hope both our babies are playing together in heaven. I'm sure the sound he made to you was him saying goodbye and if he did that when he in such a bad condition it only proves his strength and love for you. |
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your post made me cry, as I know how much they can grab onto our hearts. There are really no words to say that can take the hurt away but know that you are in my prayers. |
I am so sorry for your loss of Tetley |
