Omgosh, something so bad happened
 

We had a litter of pups last year. I gave my cousin a puppy, my favorite one, because she is my best friend and has done so much for me. They have had the pup for over a month now, and her husband and 2 boys (8 and 9) were so so very in love with him. She has an elderly miniature poodle who grew very attatched to him as well.
Now, my cousin is an awesome pet mom. She loves dogs almost more than people ;) She is very dedicated to them.
Tonight something terrible happened. She called me sobbing. She was on top of her washer getting something from behind it that had fallen, and thought she made sure no one was behind her, and jumped down. She jumped down onto her little Luigi :( He died a few minutes later. She called while I was at church, so I called her back when I got out, and an hour and half later she was still sobbing, and so were her kids and husband. They loved him so very much. She feels so terrible and just cannot hardly catch her breath she is crying so hard still. She just kept apologizing to me. I told her not to apologize because she wasnt being irresponsible, it was a freak accident. I know she loved him more than just about anything and would never ever hurt him.
I just feel so terrible for them right now. That whole family was so in love with him, they are hurting like they lost a sibling or brother. I know some people dont understand that, but many of you do.
Please keep them in your prayers, I think it will be a long time before they get over this. :(
Tomorrow is her birthday too....what a sad day for her.
I feel so bad that I have been talking all day about my new little guy to her. I am just not going to say anything about him to her for awhile.
I dont know what to say to her. I feel so bad, but I cannot make her feel better. I dont want her to think I am being cold, but I dont know what to say. I just told her I cannot imagine how hard that must have been for her to see, or how terrible she must feel. I wish I could make her feel better. :(

So sorry for their loss. These little stinkers are fast...I learned how fast recently myself. Praying that they heal and know that they gave him lots and lots of love.

I am always worried about stepping on Zoey because she is always following me around.

Oh no! I am so so very sorry for her loss. I understand first hand, how difficult that is. My brother stepped (maliciously I might add) on a puppy of mine about 7 years ago, and it still brings tears to my eyes. My thoughts and prayers are with her.

Oh! This story breaks my heart! I am so sorry to hear of your friend's tragic, tragic loss.

May Gods send his ...
 

:love: & peace of the lord be with you and your family in this diffcult and hard time. May, the lord grace you with kindness and ease your hearts of the pain. Prayers our on the way :big_hug: :angelyork

very sorry to hear , i know i have stepped on ziggy a few times they appear from now where.

O my how sad! I can't imagine what she is feeling!!

This story is absolutely heartbreaking. I just cannot imagine how this girl is feeling right now.. I am sure she is beating herself up.. I hope she soon heals and forgives herself. I am heartbroken just reading this story.
Prayers coming for that family..

Oh what a heartbreaking accident. My thoughts and prayers are definately with her and her family as well as you. The loss of a furkid IS the loss of a sibling or child for those of us who love them with all our hearts. We've had to help two of ours to heaven and to this day, there's still a huge empty void there and we still cry. I hopr your cousin and her family can find some peace in this somehow.

I'm so sorry for you, your cousin and her family's loss! I can't imagine the heartbreak you are all going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. What a horrible accident! I am so sad for you all!

Oh how very tragic! My heart is just breaking from reading this. There is no doubt from your post that they loved Luigi very much. Will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry for her loss. My prayers are with her and her family, How terrible:cry:

Aw, I'm sorry. I bet she must feel so guilty. :(

Oh, I\'m so sorry for her:cry: What a horrible accident:(

I\'m so sorry, this is just so sad. Bless her heart.
