1 month ago today
 

1 month ago today, July 1, 2012, my husband and I sadly walked back into our house without our precious Simon. It has been such a hard month adjusting to life without our puppy.

Sadly, last month at 7:00pm, while getting ready for our evening walk, Simon tried to jump up on the couch and missed his footing, fell back and hit the corner of the coffee table. I turned around to find him laying limp on the floor. I picked him up and put him on the couch thinking he was simply "knocked out". Soon after, his tongue turned purple and my husband and I scooped him up and rushed the 5 minutes to the ER. Upon arrival, he did not have a heartbeat. They did emergency cpr and pumped him full of medicine to try and bring him back. They were successful at reviving him. They took x-rays to try and see if there was a break or fracture and they found nothing. My poor baby was paralyzed and could only move his eyeballs. It was so sad to see him laying in the cage in the ER not moving. After a consultation with the neurologist, we came to the hardest decision to put him down. There was no evidence that he would ever recover from his injury. My husband and I couldn't bear to see him laying so helpless.

It was the hardest decision we have ever had to make. Our Simon was only 1 year and 7 months old. He had a great short life. He was such an amazing dog. We will never find another dog like him.

I am so very sorry. May God comfort you during this most difficult time.

Rest in peace sweet Simon.

I'm so very sorry. Rest in Peace, Simon.

How heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. Rest in peace sweet baby Simon.

So sorry for your loss
 

:(I am so so so sorry for your loss. On July 23rd I had a similiar sudden death of my Peanut man who as perfectly healthy at 4 1/2 years old.

Here is what happened to us and I hope this does not upset you however it helps knowing you made the right decision as he never would of been the same. After I read your tragic story I now wonder if Peanut hit his head on the ground and the same thing happened.

Monday evening I returned home from work as usual and let everyone out to run in the back yard. They all ran together barking and yipping as they always did and for some reason buddy got a bit snippy and yipped at Gio in a nasty way. I scolded him and then he proceeded to do the same to Peanut. Never once nipping him or even touching him. In the next moments everything happened so quickly it was like a nightmare. As everyone ran to take care of business I turned and Peanut was on his side. I grabbed him up in my arms quickly and he was limp like a rag doll. His tongue was purple and back in his little mouth. I put my finger in his mouth and swiped his tongue to the side and then proceeded to do CPR and nose to mouth breaths with no response. Only sound was a slight gurgle after a few moments and I now know what that sound was and will never forget it, it was the death rattle of my poor little Peanut Mans last breath on this earth. I continued to do CPR and nose to mouth breaths for several minutes and there was no response. I knew then my little guy was gone. I wrapped him in a towel and took him to my vet who assured me that I did everything possible to help him. But what took my little guys life in that split second I will never know. I refused an autopsy as I just did not want to put his little body through that and heck what good would it do? It certainly wouldn’t bring him back. Peanut was healthy and happy and had no previous history of heart problems. There was no blood, no assume no head injury just that horrible stare that I will never forget. My vet seems to think that he must have had a heart issue that was undetected and it was his time to travel on to Rainbow Bridge.

Again I am so sorry for your loss and please reach out to me if you want to talk.

I am so sorry for your loss of Peanut. We were always so careful with Simon that this was such a shock to us. He was just so little and fragile. We sure do miss him so much!

I'm so sorry about your sudden loss of Simon. RIP lil man

I am very sorry for the loss of little Simon. Losing a little baby at such a young age makes it that much harder.
My husband and I just lost our little Ace, he was 4 years old, about three weeks ago. He ate a hairball and have to have surgery, he survived the surgery but passed away a few hours later to complications.
I know how empty a house can feel without a little baby yorkie. They are such special and sweet little guys. My husband and I have been devastated.
Ace and Simon are heaven right now, that I do know. My thoughts and sympathies are with you guys.

I'm so very sorry for your loss... RIP Little Simon.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Simon:unlove: My heart breaks for you!!!
