i am so sorry. bless the little angel. this was the thread that i wanted to check before going to work this today. the news saddens me. Hugs,

Im very very sorry to hear the bad news, we all know that he had the most loving mom and dad that he could ever have dreamed of and now hes with his brother Dusty looking down at u with a lot of love.....
U did all u could do and i think u were very fair, i know its hard for us to part with a loved one, but im sure he was ready to go..... and im sure Dusty was waiting for Rodney at the gate and walked him through....
Till one day u will meet again..... :littleang

Yorkiemom2, we are here for u.... :rose: :girl_hug:

I cant thank you enough for all of your kind words and prayers. This site has really helped me thru this awful time. I know Rodney was ready to go to play with his brother Dusty again, it was my husband and me who was not ready to let him go. I know I did the right thing, but it feels so bad. In my heart I know he went peacefully. I held me in my arms the entire time. I think God knew this day was coming and thats why he sent us our 14 week old Diesel. He has helped us so much with this grieving process. Sleeping is the hardest thing, Rodney has slept with us every night of his life. He has never spent one night without us...

I really dont know what I would have done without this board. I feel like its the one time I can come down to the basement and read these posts and have a really good cry without people (non dog lovers) judging me on why I am crying over a dog.

Thank you all so much...........I will post a picture of Rodney and Dusty when I get to work on tuesday. (my boss gave me the day off tomorrow).

They are at peace now!!!!!!

Im not sure who it was, but someone on this site will put a nice border on a picture if you send her the picutre. I have one of Rodney and Dusty that I would like a nice border on so I can frame it and hang it above our fireplace. Can someone give me her email or name?

We will miss you Rodney and Dusty!!!! - Love Mommy and Daddy

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart aches for you and I wish there was something I could do for you. Best wishes and I'll be thinking of and praying for you. Hugs to you and puppy kisses from Maddie.

I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

It sounds like Rodney had a long, wonderful life with a wonderful mommy and lots of love! You did the right thing in letting him go when he was ready. You were not selfish in your needs and I agree that Diesel was sent to help get you through this painful time. I am looking forward to a photo of the two of your babies that are at Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry for your loss, my 13 1/2 yr old yorkie passed away do to a stroke. It was the worst thing ever. I still have a hard time with her death and that was almost 2 yrs ago.

Bitsy did a boarder for me here is the pic I'm sure if you send her a Private Message she will gladly help you...

Dont ever be ashamed of crying over an animal,, especially your own,,, We have all been there,,, Im bawling right now, at work, just reading these posts!
You're in my thoughts,,, and prayers.

I cant thank everyone enough. This is really like group therapy. I was doing better today. ( I went back to work) and then I talked to his regular vet and she couldnt believe all of this happened over a few days. She is calling the emergency vet hospital to find out what happened.

Rodney was fine a few weeks ago for his check-up. I know something was drastically wrong, I just know in the bottom of my heart, it wasnt a collapsed trachea. Maybe it was a tumor pressing on his trachea or something.. I would just feel better if I knew exactly. If I had to do it all over again, I would have waited until today to transport him to his regular vet (if he could have survived the car ride) and let her tell me that it was his time to go....

Thank god I have Diesel. He is really helping us get thru this awful time...

Thank you!
