I love you Georgia girl, RIP
 

My Georgia, who was only 3 years old, passed away this morning. She was acting up late last night and I thought that since she has 6, 5 week old babies that she was exhausted. She threw up and I thought that maybe she was going to be okay, because she perked up. I kept her in my bed just to make sure she was okay, she was warm, cozy and seem to be coming out of it. She got off the bed and looked at the door, wanting her babies, so I put her in her pin. Right before I went to bed, she looked back as if she was saying "i'm fine mommy, don't worry".


I got up this morning and put my male in the pin to find Georgia laying on the floor. I called her name several times and she didn't respond. I felt her, she was cold, her gums were pale. And when I tried to lift her up, she was limp. I called my vet while getting dressed and rushed her to the vet. They put fluids in her, warmed her up, as her temp was way low. She had blood coming out of her renal area. I was scared.

The blood work showed high phosphorus levels, which they didn't know if was just renal/kidney failure, so they were going to continue the fluids and get a urine biopsy. At that point, she seemed okay, she raised her head, so they thought she would perk up and be fine.

My friend showed up for support and we went outside to get some air and just try to regain some strength. After she left, I was heading to my Jeep, when they called me back in. When they tried to do the catheter she started gasping her dying breaths and they tried to revive her, but she passed away.

My heart hurts soooo bad, I never thought that this would happen, especially so quickly. She was only 3, but they were the best 3 years of my life.

The picture of my avatar is her about a year ago. I'm having her cremated so she will be with us forever.

:lovewingsRest in Peace Georgia:lovewings. Mommy will never forget the love we had and you will be here in my heart forever.

Im so sorry for your loss. You need to be strong and finish raising her litter.

what were you feeding her, btw?

I'm so very sorry about Georgia. Rest in Peace, little one.

Rest in Peace sweet Georgia. Your mommy and your babies miss you very much. You have left a hole in your mommy's heart. My deepest condolences on your devesting loss.

hello, she was eating Eukanuba puppy food as well as water and getting nutritional supplements. Luckily the puppies are doing well and so is Chewy my male. I'm trying to keep strong for them all.
My vet thinks she might have found something and ate it. She said I did everything right, reacted quickly to her sudden loss in health. She was so perky Saturday and early yesterday.
Anyway, thank you for your kind words. This is so hard.

Oh, no, I just read your other post and was so hoping for better. Oh, the poor little darling! This news of the sudden loss of a young healthy dog is just heart-rending and unbearable. I am more sorry for her and for you than I know how to express. I'm taking from your words she was a new mother, which doubles the tragedy. I will be praying that you can get through this somehow.

Rest with the angels, Sweet Little Georgia, you will be loved and missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss. :( RIP Georgia girl. I pray you have the strength to carry on in raising her pups for her.

I'm so sorry.

OMG how tragic!!!!!! I am so sorry for your loss!!!!!!

I posted on the other thread as well...sending hugs and again I am so sorry for the sudden loss of Georgia.

I am so very sorry.

So sorry for your loss.:(

I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I lost my first Yorkie suddenly at the age of 3 and it was hard. My prayers and thoughts are with you and her babies. Just know that GOD would never give you more than you can handle. We are all here if you need us. Big Hugs!!!

So sorry for your loss....

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. Her babies need your love and care more than ever now, and I hope they can give you strength and hope for the future. You and your little ones will be in my prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss, and you will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope in time your pain will ease and that you will find solace in raising her babies for her. The loss of our special friends is so hard!

Sending prayers your way. I am so sorry for the loss of your furbaby.

Thank you guys so much! I have been bawling off and on, trying to find peace with her passing. It was so fast I think I was still in a lot of shock yesterday. Today is very hard, I've been home all day with my husband, the babies, and Chewy. They are all handling it very well. My husband has been my rock through this all, I couldn't be at this place of grieving without him. Yesterday when I told my husband that Georgia was gone, he said "She left 6 pieces behind, and we will keep one". It made me happy that we can keep one in her honor.

We're still talking about keeping a puppy, but I think right now, just honoring her beautiful 3 years in our lives will be a continual blessing. I will get a album of her up eventually.

Thanks again all. I really appreciate all the support.

i am so sorry for your tragic loss of georgia. my heart goes out to you. we lost our little nika suddenly last august at only 6 years old. it is even harder when it is so unexpected and they are so young. wishing you the best of luck with her little pups. i am glad you will be keeping one in her honor. i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time that you can stay strong for chewy and the furbabies. remember that love never dies and she will be in your heart forever. i am sure she is at the rainbow bridge in great company of the other little angels and my little angel nika until you see her again one day. take care. sending you a hug.

Oh my gosh, how heart wrenching. Those poor little babies losing their mom and knowing what a great mother she was to them. Losing her at 3yrs. old has to be terrible. Well, no matter the age its awful. I'm glad you are keeping one of her babies. Hope everything goes well for the little ones. Keeping you in my prayers, I know you must be suffering. RIP little Georgia. You will be greatly missed.

I'm sure Georgia is up there with Nika making friends. She was such a loving and friendly dog.

I want to believe that she went knowing that her babies were well taken care of and that she could leave them in our hands. Thanks

I'm finally getting food down today, it's so weird not hearing her bark as I come home or to greet her with hugs and kisses. I'm in the process of stop blaming myself. I wish I could've saved her, but at least she went quickly and painlessly. I must stop blaming myself, Georgia would not want to see me down like this. I am doing my best to stay strong, but my heart is not ready to let go. I don't think I will ever fully recover.

So sorry to hear of your loss:(

I appreciate you guys so much, you don't know how much I needed the support. A friend sent me this poem and I thought I would share it, it made me cry.


A Special Place

You have a special place dear Lord that I know you'll always keep.
A special place reserved for dogs when they quietly fall asleep.
With large airy kennels and a yard for hiding bones.
With maybe a little creek that chatters ...over stones.
With green fields and flowers for those who never knew,
about running freely under your sky of perfect blue.
Lord I know you keep this special place and so to you I pray,
for one special dog who quietly died today.
She was full of strength and love, and so very wise.
The puppy look she once had has long since left her eyes.
She is a special gift to you Dear Lord by a good friend of mine.
She went to join her ancestors to your land that is devine.
So speak to Georgia softly please and give her a warm hello.
She's a special gift to you Dear Lord from our family who loved her so.

It really hasn't gotten easier with Georgia's passing, but I'm working on knowing she had the best 3 years of her life with us.... actually she gave ME the best 3 years of my life.

i sympathize so greatly with you. i don't know that feeling, but i will in the next couple of weeks when we have to put our 8 year old rufus to sleep as he loses his battle with prostate cancer. i just dont know how to live in that moment of saying goodbye and watching it. it's the most terrifying thing i've ever had to face.

Jessica i am so sorry for your loss,I can relate since i lost my Abby just over 2 yrs ago the pain gets easier but she will always hold a special place in your heart as Abby has in mine.

Thinking of Georgia and Rufus today. That lovely poem makes me think of my little Cammie that I lost 4 years ago.

Hopefully it's a little uplifting, but when you finish the grieving process, there is comfort in knowing that the Bible states ""And to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so." Genesis 1:30.

To me that means that Cammie's soul is in heaven with a little set of angel wings, granted there are little devil horns holding up her halo, waiting for me, and guarding her ball.

I apologize for offending you if you're not religious, but that scripture to me brought comfort. After all, these furkids are family, and it's always nice to know when we'll see them again.

Sending hugs both Rufus' and Georgia's Mommys way!
Gizmo send his licks!

I am not offended by that, do not worry. My heart is still hurting and I'm trying to find comfort in knowing Georgia is in a happier place, just as much as she had here. Thank you.

When checking my mail today, I received a card from my vet... they sent me a sympathy card, and they wrote their condolences inside the card. It made me happy and sad at the same time. My eyes started to well up and I cried. My tears are becoming fewer, but my heart is still hurting.

I'm feeling guilty about her passing. I want to be happy but I feel like it's an insult to her memory, which would be the last thing I would want to do. Not to mention, yes, I am sad and depressed. I miss the little things about her that made me smile. When I talked to her, made funny noises, how her head would tilt to the side. I miss looking over to my left at my husband's chair to see her laying there watching t.v. or looking at me. I miss her excitedness when I came home or went outside for a few minutes. Not to mention, the little things that she did that pissed me off at first... but she always found a way to make me forgive her. I could never stay mad at her long. She was my mama, my little princess, my Georgia Girl... and no other dog could replace her.

I am extremely fortunate to have such a support system here at home, at work, and on here with all of you. You have no idea how much all your kind words have done for me in this grieving process.

I just want to say THANK YOU.
