| RIP Bobbie my little man i'll miss you! I am sat here heartbroken crying while I type we lost our little man he was only 8 years old. Here's what happened yesterday. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...ml#post4726299 Took him for his appointment at 2pm at the PDSA his legs were stiff as a board... The vet used his stethoscope and said his heart was beating irregular he checked it multiple times he also nipped his paws and they was no response... I said is there anything you can do for him he said he'd get the head vet... Bobbie was crying on the table in pain me and my partner were weeping as I think we knew what was coming. She came in done the same tests but used some kind clamps on his toes he only yelped at the back paw... She said he's in major pain and would advise us to put him to sleep... My partner burst out in tears I held them back and asked if they is anything you can do like keep him in overnight and access him in the morning she said that it would be delaying the inevitable and he's in pain she mentioned she could refer us to a specialist but they'd want £5,000/10,000 upfront (Sadly we don't have that kind of money) and that he may go through extra pain all for nothing... She said she thinks the cause was neurological or a stroke. We agreed it'll be for the best to put him to sleep so we said our goodbyes I gave him a kiss and said i'll see you soon little man whilst crying. All I can think about is my little man by himself alone in the vets and it's making me cry... Yesterday he was full off beans for walkies 2 hrs later this, how? It felt all so rushed at the vets and I keep questioning myself did we do the right thing? It seemed the choices were so limited... But it feels like I've let him down. I know it's selfish but I wish we didn't have to make the decision and he passed naturally. RIP my little man till we meet again x |

| So sorry for your loss. Please don't beat yourselves up, you did the best you could do at such a trying time. Bobbie is no longer in pain and I am sure he appreciates that you tried to help. He's at the Rainbow Bridge now waiting for yo and your partner to arrive. No more pain and able to run jump and play once again |

| My heartfelt condolences to you. Bobbie is no longer suffering and please know you did the right thing for him. I lost my Kobe on Sunday and know the gut wrenching pain you feel. We are all blessed to have experienced the kind of unconditional love and happiness only our fur babies can offer us. Until you are reunited again at Rainbow Bridge, i wish you love and light always :

YT 2000 Club Member | Dog Precious Bobbie is not suffering. You definitely did the right move. Do not look back. Rest knowing your Yorkie is in a beautiful place prepared for him by the Creator of all. God sees the love you have for Bobbie and I know you will be with him again one day. The Lord knows all of His animals and not a sparrow falls to the ground without Him kniwing. Bobbie is happy and grateful you did not put him through pain. You were blessed to have him. Cherish those nemories and know he is with you in his sweet dog spirit. My prayers for comfort for you. |

| Thanks for the kind words. I am still having the odd tear up and only managed 3 hours sleep kept waking... Normally when we wakeup he's there ready to picked up and put on the bed then he greets me with kisses I miss that already. It's driving me crazy on what actually happened to him I can't comprehend that he was fit and well then he went like that within 2 hours... If I knew maybes they would be better closure. He was a loving dog that loved a cuddle he was forever Barking at us to pick him up. And I have started to tear up as I nearly finished this. I miss him. |

| I miss him so much! I am still upset and keep crying... I remember looking into his eyes and it was like help me as he was trying to move (it was like he was paralysed) it crippled me... And I keep thinking he'll blame me for putting him asleep. I thought my partner would have been worse as she took him for most his walks always had him on her knee (he would bark for her). When will this heartache ease? |

| You poor thing. What you're going through is pure hell on earth and we go through it every time we loose a beloved member of our family, our furry soul mate, our best friend. Grief knows no time limit, just misery and much remembering, constantly replaying the last days with them in our minds, the last time we saw them, the horror, guilt because we couldn't help them get well and is nothing but pure pain. How can we go on when our world has crashed and burned? I don't know but we do. Cry all your need, face the pain down if you want or avoid it as much as you can, talk about Bobbie here and with others. Treat yourself to whatever you want right now. If you your cannot eat, just get down fluids or if you eat nonstop and want to live on nothing but iced coffeecake and diet cola or or walk incessantly or sleep constantly to avoid the pain, do what you feel like doing right now. Baby yourself. If you can't sleep, you'll feel worse and eventually get sick so consult a professional. Highly educated, wise people spend 1/5+ of their lifetimes studying how to help those in psychological pain so help is out there. There are pet death help groups online and in many large cities where you can actually go for group therapy. You will one day soon begin to feel better and don't feel guilty when you do. Bobbie wouldn't want that and would want you to be happy again. He left you with all of his love and a lifetime of wonderful memories and you will always have him. One day, when you are ready, you'll no doubt want that Bobbie-type of love again, will need another furry soul mate. Eventually or relatively soon if you can manage, giving a loving home to another little one who badly needs one, will make you feel good again.
