R.I.P. Peanut Man - 10-8-07 - 7-23-12 I lost a very special part of my family on Monday evening,July 23rd. Peanut Van Averyborn on October 8, 2007 was the partner to Penne Van Avery his mate, father of17 puppies in his 4 ½ short years. Hischildren that live with us, Gio, Jaime, Buddy & Missy in addition to Pennemiss him terribly. Peanut was a healthy5 pound Yorkie with a love of life and his buddies, loved to carry his toysaround and hide them in the backyard so that no one else could steal them butmost importantly he gave us his unconditional love each and every day. Monday evening I returned home from work as usual and leteveryone out to run in the back yard. They all ran together barking and yipping as they always did and forsome reason buddy got a bit snippy and yipped at Gio in a nasty way. I scolded him and then he proceeded to do thesame to Peanut. Never once nipping himor even touching him. In the nextmoments everything happened so quickly it was like a nightmare. As everyone ran to take care of business Iturned and Peanut was on his side. Igrabbed him up in my arms quickly and he was limp like a rag doll. His tongue was purple and back in his littlemouth. I put my finger in his mouth andswiped his tongue to the side and then proceeded to do CPR and nose to mouth breathswith no response. Only sound was aslight gurgle after a few moments and I now know what that sound was and willnever forget it, it was the death rattle of my poor little Peanut Mans lastbreath on this earth. I continued to doCPR and nose to mouth breaths for several minutes and there was noresponse. I knew then my little guy wasgone. I wrapped him in a towel and tookhim to my vet who assured me that I did everything possible to help him. But what took my little guys life in that splitsecond I will never know. I refused anautopsy as I just did not want to put his little body through that and heckwhat good would it do? It certainlywouldn’t bring him back. Peanut washealthy and happy and had no previous history of heart problems. There was no blood, no head injury just thathorrible stare that I will never forget. My vet seems to think that he must have had a heart issue that wasundetected and it was his time to travel on to Rainbow Bridge. His short time on this earth wascomplete. He fathered his legacy. This has been a very difficult month for myfamily with my 85 year old father passing suddenly on July 4th aftersuffering a massive stroke on July 3rd. Perhaps my Dad was lonely in heaven andneeded a puppy to keep him company until someday when we all meet again. I have found lots of comfort by readingothers stories who have also lost their loved ones and would love to hear fromall of you, perhaps so that we can comfort each other. R.I.P. Dad and my little Peanut Man!:animal-pa:animal-pa:animal-pa:animal-pa |

I'm so sorry that you've had to endure two tragic deaths. May your dad and peanut rest in peace together and keep each other company. |
So sorry for your loss. We just lost our baby Ace on 7/17/2012. He was only 4. The little guy weighed almost 3 pounds and was as healthy as a horse. He was gorgeous and my hero. He ate a hairball half the size of a fist and first got misdiagnosed. Then we took him to the ER and they found an obstruction and operated. He survived surgery but after a few hours developed sepsis and fluid in his lungs. They did CPR and couldn't save him. I wished Ace had fathered becasue he was one in a million, The Ace of Hearts. I find a little comfort knowing that the last hospital we took him to was the best in Pittsburgh and we did everything possible to save him. The hairball just created so much havoc on his intenstines it ripped them up. The surgeon said it was like a brillo pad on his intestines. It makes me so sick. But in a way I wish we didn't put his little body through all that, but we just wanted to save his life. Your story touched me because we both lost our little babies so young and around the same time. I bet they know each other in heaven. |
I'm sorry for the lose of your father and Peanut. |
I am so sorry for your loss of Peanut and your Dad. I lost one of mine at 6 1/2 years and one at 7 months. It is so hard to lose one especially when they are taken too soon. |
I'm so sorry for your losses. May they both RIP and enjoy each others company at the Rainbow Bridge. |
I am so sorry for your loss... I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling. RIP Peanut |
I'm so sorry for your loss of your dad and of Peanut. Stay strong and take good care of yourself.,:animal-pa |
Sorry for your sudden loss of Peanut, I can't imagine how hard it must be. I hope your heart heals |
I am so sorry for both your losses. How devastating for you! |
