RIP my baby girl, Kiah!! You will be missed!!
 

Today my beautiful girl, Kiah, went to heaven. She was just shy of 8 years old!!!!

My heart is broken, and I am not sure how I will get through it all. I have spent all evening between hysterics and sobbing. She was my baby!!!

She was happy, healthy, this morning when I took my daughter in for school testing. No signs of any illness, and happily ate her breakfast and romped around the back yard with Kahn. We came home and my daughters found her curled up next to her dog house laying in the sun, and had passed several hours before. During my sobbing and hysterics my son ran down and got the sheriff who lives a few houses down. (He had found a few spots of blood in the dog house and thought someone had hurt her.) The sheriff came down and examined her for injury, or poisoining. He found no injury, or signs of poison, but found that she had bit down on her tongue which caused the blood. His best thought is she had a seizure, heart attack or was bit by an arizona creature, which caused her to bite her tongue. He didn't suspect any foul play. His estimate was that she had been gone just a few hours. :(

Friends came over immediately, and we called an animal creation service. They came and took her for cremation at 9 tonight, I would not have her lay out there all night. We will have her home within the week.

I am beside myself, not knowing what happened to my poor girl and that she had to die alone without her family with her. I am somewhat relieved that my rottweilier Kahn was with her. He too is very distressed and has been crying and upset since we got home. All of my dogs have been distressed tonight!

I feel so guilty, what if I could have helped had I been home, what if I could have gotten her to the vet and saved her. Why o why did I have to be gone today!!!!!!! I sooooooooooooo miss my friend!!!!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss of Kiah. It's very sad when they leave us so suddenly... my heart is breaking for you. Sending prayers that God will ease the pain of her passing for you and your family.

I am so sorry for your sudden loss Kiah . My heart goes out to you, Sending hugs.

So sorry to hear of Kiah's passing. When someone passes suddenly and unexpectedly like that, there are feelings of shock on top of the grief...You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.:(

I am so sorry

I am so, so sorry. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP baby girl.

Hugs,
Bonny

So sorry about your little Kiah. Its so hard losing them when you know they don't have long to live, but to have it so sudden and not knowing what happened has to be devastating. Prayers are with you and your family. Its so sad to see the other dogs grieve. We have gone through that and it hurts to see how they even grieve. RIP Kiah. You were loved little girl.

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

Thanks all for your support! I keep thinking that I have cried myself out, but then I find more tears. This is honestly the most painful thing I have ever gone through. I have lost grandparents etc. but they were in their 90's and in declining health, and was expected. This was a complete SHOCK!!!!! She was only upper middle age for her breed and was sooooooo healthy! I keep torturing myself with the 'what ifs'.

Kahn is not doing well at all either....he cried half the night (along with mommy). Kiah was his 'Mommy' (not in the literal sense) and was with him every day of his life!!! I found him asleep this morning on the sheet I wrapped Kiah in when I found her. (I had wanted the dog cremation people to take it with but they left it right where she died.)

8 years just wasn't long enough!!!!! I want my girl back!!! :(

I am so very sorry for your loss :(

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you. RIP Kiah sweet baby.

I am so sorry for your sudden loss, and truly feel your pain.

Three years ago my then 8 yr. old schnauzer girl Sachi died unexpectedly one night, and I still haven\'t gotten over her loss. I have since added 4 more furgirls to my life who I adore, but there will always be a hole in my heart from losing Sachi.

Your are in my thoughts and prayers.

I\'m so sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family will heal soon. My thoughts will be with you and your family.

I just have to know how much one person can take?? As I was sitting sobbing about Kiah, my ob/gyn called me.....I had a leep done last week along with an endometrial biopsy......and she wants to see me immediately, nurse said they had my results back. I am assuming not good news!! I am going to lose it, I swear!!! My hubby is on the road, he is a pilot........my parents are snowbirds and went home last week. I feel so utterly alone, even though I have my kids and friends......but man o man. I need a break somewhere here. This is just more than I can take!!!!!! Pray for me please!!!!!! Or I\'ll be sending messages from the padded room.......:( Have my appointment in one hour!!! Think I will ask her for some valium....:(

Oh my...you are having a terrible time!!! We will be praying for you. Please let us know how you are.:(
