It was a traumatic event that I will never forget. That was 50 years ago, and it is as clear in my mind's eye as if it were yesterday. I am so sorry you experienced this event....it is very hard to see this happening to something or someone you love and adore. |
Believe me they have not gotten any further with medical for dogs....I was not informed by anyone that my little guy had a heart problem of any kind. He had is annual Vet appointment 3 months earlier and not a word was said. I will tell you more later...I am at work now and every day I try to process this...as I know that all animal owners go thru the same tragic feelings when they loose their babies. I just fell that my guy experienced something horrible that could have been avoided (not that his time had not come,,,,maybe) but it could have been much easier for him. I am so mentally and emotionally shot.
Talk to you later....I love you all. Without the support of each other we would have very little.
Love and hugs
