Curly Mac is gone.
 

I know I haven't been on YT for a long time but some of you may remember my sweet Curly Mac. She was just one week shy of her first birthday and barely weighed in at 3 lbs.

We are down in Florida, parked at a friends house while I search for cancer treatment for myself here. Well the next door neighbors have these 2 black labs who bark constantly whenever any of us are outside or if they can see even a shadow of us in our bus windows. They jump at the fence barking their heads off whenever Curly is outside.

Today, I had JUST let Curly out to run with Jack, my 6 yr old, after cutting her hair for 2 hours or more so I know she was sick of being still. She took off running like she does, fast as she can, circling around the yard. And OF COURSE those damn dogs start barking and going crazy at the fence and of course she runs over to bark back and when she got close enough, one of them finally broke one of the fence pieces (I dunno what they're called) open and grabbed her. By the time we got into their back yard, the neighbor kid was trying to hold on to both his dogs and my son grabbed Curly and we rushed her to the hospital, less than a mile away. She wasn't dead, just staring up at me, not making a sound. I could tell she was still breathing but very shallow. The vet could hardly get a pulse and her blood pressure was so low, he couldn't even get a vein to put an IV in. She had several puncture wounds and the vet said they severed her spinal cord and she wasn't going to make it. Soon, I decided to let them go ahead and put her down so she wouldn't suffer anymore. But then, as I kissed her, she took her last breath and she was gone.

I can't stop crying and we're all just so broken hearted. My little boy just screamed when that dog grabbed her but there was nothing anyone could do.
I can't believe my little baby is gone.

I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of precious Curly Mac. I can't even imagine the pain you and your son must feel, and I'm sending prayers of comfort your way. Also sending prayers for your successful treatment for cancer.

Hugs to All!

Thanks everyone. Rough night, and today my son wants to go back to the vet to see if she's ok because her eyes weren't closed so he thinks the vet might have fixed her. He woke up crying a lot last night, and so did I. Wow, I just don't know how to go about my day now.

I'm so sorry for your loss. How terrible that must of been for your son and you to see this happen and the aftermath. :( My heart is breaking for you guys and you will be in my prayers.

I am so, so sorry that this happened to you. I will be praying for your healing - physical and emotional!

I am sooo sorry for the sudden loss of Curl Mac and your loss at this time. We lost Coco recently just before he turned a year old. He died in front of my wife's eyes. He was her special bundle of joy too.

Linda had just discovered she had several masses when this happened and "right now" is in the recovery room after surgury. We dont have her Coco but we do have his brand new pups (3) all doing well and Coco's half brother (5 monts old). Life does go on and there still is hope and joy to be had.

We wish you all the best in this time of such sorrow.

I am truly sorry for your loss and I will pray that the Lord not only heals your body but also your heart. I found this poem and I hope that it will comfort you during those lonely days when your heart is crying out for Curly Mac. Kim:animal-pa

THE BEST PLACE TO BURY A DOG
"There is one best place to bury a dog.
"If you bury him in this spot, he will
come to you when you call - come to you
over the grim, dim frontier of death,
and down the well-remembered path,
and to your side again.
"And though you call a dozen living
dogs to heel, they shall not growl at
him, nor resent his coming,
for he belongs there.
"People may scoff at you, who see
no lightest blade of grass bent by his
footfall, who hear no whimper, people
who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know
something that is hidden from them,
and which is well worth the knowing.
"The one best place to bury a good
dog is in the heart of his master."

OMG I am so so sorry. This is absolutely heartbreaking. RIP Curly Mac and Godspeed in healing your broken heart.

Your thread moved me to tears. I am very sorry for your loss; I hope that the good memories offer you some comfort. Positive energy to you as you seek treatment for your health challenges.
