Mr. Bentley....RIP My sweet little boy who greeted me at the door, came to work with me and kept me warm at night. I had him for 2 1/2 wonderful years and was blindsided by his severe illness. He was diagnosed with lymphangiectasia on Sunday and by Wednesday was gone. I took him to the best internists and admitted him to the best animal hospital, but there was nothing they could do to save him. We even considered a last ditch effort - a plasma transfusion, but the vet had made me promise that I would not hold onto him for selfish reasons and let him go if he was in pain. He had a very priviledged life and was the man of the house. I made many sacrificies for him and never thought twice. He was such a joy to be around....and so well behaved. He would sit on the couch on a pillow right next to my head every night and just sit and stare. I would turn around and rub his head and just giggle with pleasure. Yesterday was hard - I went home and was faced with all his little toys. I'd washed his bowls in preparation of his return and instead had to tuck them away in a drawer. Then I feel the guilt....could have I done anything differently.... I rest in knowing that I did the best I could - and even though I couldn't save him, he knew. He knew that I was there, wrapping him tight in his little blanket, whispering in his ear and kissing his little head. God - I hope it gets easier..... |
OMG, I'm so sorry. He had a great life and you did what was best for him. You are a wonderful mommy. Hope you soon start to feel better, even though I know it's going to take time. Just try and hang in there and remember all the good times you had with him. |
I am so sorry for your loss...dont question what you had to do for him. He is over the rainbow bridge with all our lost dogs playing up a storm and free from all pain now...it is hard and the pain never goes away but it DOES subside over time. Look back on the good times like you shared with us for he had many more good days than bad and you had many more happy days than sad. He would want you to remember him and smile..not cry...hugs.. Dawn |
I'm so sorry for your loss - it will take time, but I hope soon you will see that you made the right decision for your little one. It's true that sometimes we as pet owners will try so desperately in vain to keep them around with us a little longer because WE aren't ready to let them go, when really their time has come and they are ready. I've been through this with two family dogs growing up and it's never easy. I hope each day gets a little easier... cherish your memories of him... |
I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult when they are taken away suddenly while still young. He was destined to have a short life, but how wonderful that you could fill it with so much love, affection and devotion! It sounds like you were both truly blessed. |
Still...... it breaks my heart for your pain....... It will take a while...... |
Oh gosh...I am so sorry to hear about Bentley. I remember just a few days ago, you posted about his condition. Know that he is in heaven now free of pain with other furbabies that have crossed the rainbow bridge. It sounds like he had a beautiful life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you... |
Oh honey, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. |
I am so sorry for your loss. |
I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure you are heartbroken but at peace with the love you gave him. Prayers of comfort for you. |
What can I say, but I'm so sorry for your loss. |
I'm so sorry for loss. |
I'm so very sorry you lost him at such a young age. I can tell you that it does get easier, but it takes a very long time, too.:( |
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. May Mr. Bentley rest in peace, free of pain. Perhaps when the time is right, you will find another baby who will help you find happiness again and Mr. Bentley will be watching from the Rainbow Bridge. |
I am so sorry for your loss!!! You are in my thoughts and prayers! |
