Linda my heart breaks for Sunny D and for your loss. RIP Sunny D

So sorry Linda...I was not expecting this...I feel so awful for you...hugs...

I'm so sorry that you lost your little boy. It's never easy. You did your very best for him as you do for all of your pups. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Oh no...
I am so very sorry :rbyorkie:

Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. You did the very best you could and he knew how much you loved him. Rest in peace, Sunny D.

Linda, I am so sorry for your loss of your precious Sunny D. Rest in peace, little Sunny.

Praying for your comfort and peace.

Thank you everyone...it was a pretty bad night for me even though deep in my heart I know that Sunny D is at peace now.

This morning has been a bit better....my vet called early this morning. Late yesterday after they had closed, I remembered that I did not get his paw print or a clipping of hair. I called Little Friends who do the cremation...and they told me he was on the pick up list for yesterday and the driver already had him, but that they don't do paw prints. Just another reason to cry. I guess it is silly, but I like to have them. Early this morning my vet called and said that Little Friends had called them...the person who answered did not know that the driver had not picked Sunny D up and they called my vet this morning to let them know I had called. SO...my vet got Sunny's pawprint for me. It is in a little heart shaped clay piece which is what I do with all of my angels. I also have his hair clippings. Gives me a bit of comfort. Silly I know. I am just a bit sentimental about things.

Got home today and look at what I received from a couple of friends....just had to share. I have never seen anything like it..just so precious. A little doggy angel floral arrangement:

What a beautiful flower arrangement from some special friends. I love the idea of keeping pawprints and little mementos. I have Buster's baby canine teeth that he retained and the hair from his first cut. I am so glad that you were able to get Sunny D's pawprint. The imprint on the clay is a little reminder of the imprints they leave on our hearts. Hugs to you Linda and the rest of the YHR fur family.

Awwww .. so sweet! :)

I am so sorry Linda.......I was just getting back here to check on Sunny D....I just knew he was doing so well with his PEG and I was checking on how your feedings were going....Bless his little warrior heart! One thing is for certain, there was no stone left unturned, no vet visit not made, no treatment left unexplored, in the care you gave this baby. Immediate, thorough, and carried completely through to the end....you did absolutely everything and anything that could have possibly been done for him...including having the strength and commitment to let him go when his race was over. Job well done, Linda....I can just see him, exactly like I see in that picture you posted, running and crouching down, toy in his mouth or under his protective paw, daring someone to just try to get it from him....he springs up and takes off like the wind, toy in his mouth, wind in his hair, running circles around and around...he waits for you to stop and get him some day when your race is run.

:thumbup: Beautifully said, Judy.....

Yes, Linda... I feel the same as this beautifully written post!

I am so sorry for your loss Linda. I send you strength and comfort. Rest in Peace Sunny D

Judy, thank you for this post. While it made me cry it also made me feel good. I do hope that we will see our babies again as you described in this post. I would love nothing more when my race is over than to be surrounded by all of them. This was really accurate about Sunny D....he loved, loved, loved grabbing all of the toys. :)

Linda I am so sorry about SunnyD. RIP Sweet SunnyD.
