tears along with you.. i cant imagine your pain, and i pray to god he will

Bless your heart. Anyone that has gone through this knows the pain. No words can help. You just have to let grief and time take their course. I am still crying over my little Max (schnauzer) we lost a yr. ago. It does get easier but right now is the hardest. We are all feeling for you and praying for you. RIP little angel!!

I'm so sorry! I wasn't on here all weekend. I guess God needed another little angel. The grief is so hard.:(

I'm so sorry you lost your Joey. Hopefully he is at rainbow bridge playing the time away as he waits for you.

Oh I am so so sorry to hear this. This is so sad :( My heart breaks for you! RIP sweet Joey.

I am shocked to see this! My heart is breaking for you and the loss of
Joey. I hope your heart is feeling even just a little bit better today.
It's not your fault but I'll cuss the vet for you.
R.I.P. sweet boy.:littleang

Just keep thinking he's not in pain, he's not in pain.
I am just so very, very sorry.


Hugs,

I got back about an hour ago from picking up his ashes....I couldn't even finish the sentence of why I was there without the tears flowing....My husband had to finish telling them..... All I could think of was my little Joey was in that awful white box.......This is so painful. :cry:.......

It will come in spurts now Barbara , some days will be better and then you will just fall apart again, this is all normal and it is very painful to have to go through. Your Joey was the most happy and wonderful little boy who loved everyone. He was so lucky he had such a great Mom as you have been to him. Try not to blame yourself, it was not your fault he had this terrible problem and you were only trying to help him and make his life better. It just didn't work out for him and it was nothing you did wrong. We all think the vets are going to fix our dogs when we take them in, but seems this time there was a very bad mistake made when he did not remember to send home some antibiotics.

Poor little Joey, may he rest in peace now and may your family heal soon and remember happier days of fun and play and wet kisses.

Barbara I am so very sorry for you and your family, words can not help your pain only time will ease it.

It is good to know there are people here that understand your loss and are here to support you.

I just read this. This section is so sad. I am terribly sorry about Joey:( It's truly heartbreaking

Sophie was also cremated. When I went to pick up her ashes from the vet, I couldn't even get out the words. Just wept and thought my heart was breaking. I took her little box out to the car and opened it up. There inside was a beautiful little urn and my Sophie was back with me.

She sits on my nightstand with her picture, and clay imprint of her paw.

As time passes, the shock does become less but the longing never goes away. Perhaps an urn or special container instead of a white box can hold Joey's precious remains.

Thinking of you. Warmly, Deborah

I know exactly what you are going through and how you feel. Our Little Buddy was hit by a car May5th at 3:24 PM . My son Isaac heard a yelp and then saw him laying in the street and the car that hit him didn't even stop. Isaac ran into the road. He didn't even notice the school bus coming and I thank God every day the bus driver had seen the dog in the road and saw coming to a stop or Isaac would be gone also. Daily Buddy would jump into my arms from the floor if I was standing and not giving him enough attention or if I just got home. He laid at my feet while I worked at home. We buried him in our back yard. I co-owned this dog with my 8 yr old daughter. She was at dance class. She has been devestated. My sister in law bought a tree to be planted in Montana and sent us a Plaque Abby hung it on the cross she made for his grave. I remember telling myself some time last year. The disrespect my older children have for assisting me in keeping track of my dogs while they were in the house would be the end of Buddy and I will only be getting one littler from him. I hate ever having that feeling, it came true. Abby doesn't even want to go to dance classes any more. My 30 yr old, her husband, my 21 yr old, were all in the house down stairs and knew the door had been opened and they shut it and didn't think to say hey
Angel hey Buddy are you both in here. I was watching TV in my room and the rule is if no one is playing with the dogs and we are all too busy then leave them in their cage. I hadn't taken them out. I could spend my time blaming everyone else but I blame myself. I knew both of them had been under my bed and I knew they weren't any more. Why didn't I go down stairs and check on them. I also Thank God that Angel was in the house or maybe I would have lost her and her unborn pups. She whelped 7 puppies on May 20th.
I didn't leave my house for the next week. I HARDLY LEFT MY ROOM FOR 4 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

B.J., I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot begin to understand how you feel. I know you are devestated and angry and lost and you just hurt. Please allow yourself time to grieve and to cry and in time you will start to remember things about Joey that make you smile. When that happens, your healing starts.

When I lost my first yorkie, LacieBug to a very rare brain disorder (she had been sick for several years) I thought my heart was being ripped from my chest. It has been over 10 years and occasionally grief still overwhelms me and I tear up. But for the most part when I think of my little LacieBug I smile......

B.J. -I promise, in time, when you think of your Joey, you will smile more often than you will tear up. Hugs to you :ghug:
