Tribute to Magic

MagicsMom — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:58:40 GMT

A TRIBUTE TO MAGIC

*FROM GOD'S HANDS

INTO MINE*

I needed some magic in my life. In the previous 2yrs. I lost my Rotti (Bear) 11 1/2 yr old to cancer: and then a 9mth. old to HD (Angus) he was a Kuvaz and a wonderful soul:

I had just agreed to mid-wife a litter of pups for an elderly friend and got the same news about my 4mth old Nellie,(a Great Pyrenees).I decided not to get another puppy, I had become the keeper of babies that were terminal,and I wanted a change in job description. After all there are plenty of lost souls in shelters, that would be great therapy pets , and more importantly my best friend.

Hearing the news about Nellie my friend offered me one of the puppies:I said NO NO... NO more babies in my house.

It came down to this, when the Universe presents you with a gift, however it is presented,your a fool not to accept it with gratitude.

I got the call at 2:30 AM the day after Thanksgiving and spent the rest of the weekend there, 1st the birth and then settling everyone into a routine. It was great! I love that part of things.

Magic was my favorite of seven, from the time he went from* God's hands into mine.*

Today at 11:30 AM he went from my arms back to God

Magic has taught me so much I can not even begin to say..

The top of the list I must say, don't ever underestimate yourself or anyone else.

Next would have to be *Live in the MOMENT*

LOVE with EVERYTHING YOU ARE

He taught me that Magic is a real thing in our world..and we should share it with as many people as we come in contact with..young.. old..rich...poor...makes no difference..

My heart is breaking..and it is hard to wrap my brain around the fact that he is gone from my sight..

But will always be with me in the MAGIC of my HEART

To those of you who knew Magic..weather you met him in person or through e-mail..or even just read a story about him..thank you for sharing his MAGIC

Still troubled

Farm Girl — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 01:36:42 GMT

I lost my beloved dog Barney on January 22 of this year. He was the most wonderful dog. We got him when I was three I even remember him licking my nose from inside the box we sat him in during the ride home. He was half golden retriever and half black lab. When he was one he saved my life by swimming in after me in the river when a large ship was going in the channel and causing a undetoe. Barney swam out to me and pulled me all the way back to shore. I grew up with him and we had many wonderful advantures. We would have had Barney for 15 years later in July.

When the pet food was having more food recalled about a month after first of it(a year or two ago) we were horrified that his food was on the list. We took him to the vet and they kept him for observation and did blood tests and put him on iv fluids. His blood tests came back that he was fine. When I went to go and get him I could barely get him into the car he couldnt walk hardly at all and was leaning to one side. The vet assured me that it was just arthritis and gave us some rymidil to help him. Well when my mom saw him she figured out that Barney had had a stroke and there wasnt any way that it was just arthritis. My dad refused to let us take him to a different vet and try to sue the one that had missed something this major. He got better and was walking again and even running.

On 1/22/08 I came home to find Barney completley paralized from his shoulders back and he was breathing heavy. I yelled for my dad to come in and we were worried that he was in pain but I pinched his skin very hard and he didnt even flinch. So we decided to wait until my brother(who moved out last year) and my mom could get hom and we would take him to the vet to be put down. I sat down by his head and he picked it up and lookd at me before laying his head down again. I told him how wonderful he was and that I loved him so very much and that I knew that he loved me to. I told him that we were blessed to have him for a friend. Then my dad said goodbye to him and then my brother got there and said goodbye. My mom got home and said goodbye as well. Then Barney lifted his head and looked at each one of us then laid it down again and closed his eyes and passed on a few minutes later surrounded by everyone he loved. It was 50mins after I had found him like that. My mom has had strokes herself and said that most likely that is what he had suffered a larger one than before.

I am still so upset about loosing him. Especially because I think that he could have lived longer if the vet would have figured out was was wrong with him the first time he had suffered a stroke. The vet has had problems with misdiagnosing animals before. She told me my horse had an abscess in his hoof but he actually had severe ringbone and sidebone which is very extreme arthritis and calcium deposits. My dad has had her for a vet for thirity years and wont say a bad thing about her. I feel like I should write her a letter.

Scrappy's gone

Someone hit an killed my puppy two weeks ago he was a chiahuahua he was a sweet heart my Aunt and her boyfriend bured him near the garden and Max my other puppy toke a toy out there and left it for a while.

I don't know what to do

ko1nu — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 18:42:49 GMT

Hi, I'm pretty new to this forum, and I am searching for advice on coping with the loss of a beloved family pet. I was looking for a shoulder to lean on today, and my friend suggested that I post my problem on a forum, to see if I can gain an understanding of my situation. I've been crying for 3 days straight, and can't get through work without a tear stained face. Everytime I sit down, whether its for lunch or a nap, I keep on getting flashbacks of rushing my dog ( My little Panda bear) to the hospital and not making it. Right now, I have an guilty conscience because I promised Panda that I would love her more now, because she was recently diagnosed with a lens luxation ( a hereditary disease that is common in Jack Russell Terriers) and lost her left eye. I recently came home from vacation and my friend who was baby sitting her, was bringing her home to me. When he was a couple of blocks away, Panda used her nose to pushed away the zipper on the pet carrier, and escaped, trying to find a way home. She ran onto the highway and got hit by a car. Right now I dug myself into a pit and is still mourning over her. What should I do?

good-bye my freind

Wat is the best way 2 describe a dog's death

Angel8 — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 15:56:21 GMT

A dog's death is an emotional time for you and your dog. But ur dog will see you in heaven one day.

Do you have a favorite dog from childhood that you miss alot?

iluvdogs — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:15:18 GMT

I have had a few dogs in my lifetime so far, but 2 of them will always be in my heart. When I was 4 I got Mister a lab cross he was the light of my life. He passed over the rainbow bridge when I was about 9. I had gone to a 4th of July celebration with my parents. When we came home (we lived on a farm) the road in front of our house was bloody. Mister had dragged himself up our long driveway by our porch and bravely wagged his tail even though he had a fatal injury. It is a memory that is seared into my mind. Brownie was a terrier cross, he lived for about 7 yrs until a mean neighbor shot him. He was a very nice dog to everyone however some people were afraid of him because I taught him how to smile,he would curl his lips back and show his teeth. He was so cute he would take a gunney sack drag it in the barn lay on it and bark at the pigeons or squirrels we had in our grain building. I will always miss them & truly hope Heaven allows dogs in because I want them to be there when it is my time.

Dog behavior when they are dying

Steve — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 04:18:15 GMT

My dog has conjestive heart failure and his health is failing fast. He is under medication from my vet, however he is exibiting different behavior. He will not look at me nor come to me. He spends his day outside at the farthest reaches of the yard, and just sits there. I do not understand dog behavior and I hope someone has gone through this their pet. This is so sad for me to watch!! Steve

Please keep Darla in your thoughts...

doglover7 — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:12:58 GMT

Don't worry, Oliver's fine. But my best friends dog, Darla, went to doggy heaven yesterday afternoon. Unfortunatly, Darla has been having siezures. They thought she was getting better, but then she became overweight, and my friend couldn't keep her small. So, Darla was having trouble breathing. Then, she was having accidents in the house, which was unusual. When they took her to the vet, the vet said she had to be put down.... when my friend got home from school, her dad told her Darla wasn't coming home. Darla was 11 years old, and a very small cairn terrier. I just want to say that we all love you Darla, and that we all know your up in heaven, in a better place. Please keep little Darla in your prayers tonight...Thanks.

Darla. In loving memory.

FOUND TAN CHIHUAHUA MIX!

Honey*Bunches — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 05:06:14 GMT

i found a tan chihuahua mix in my yard the other day. she acs like she belongs to someone. she is very energetic. she is about 10 pounds, she has a curly tail, she is about 13 inches tall and 15 inches from nose to tail. She didnt have a collar, and she has fleas (which we are trying to get rid of). she is kind of nervous around men/boys. she likes children and is all over my mom. if this sounds like your dog please ask me about it. by the way, i am in florida, so i dont think this would be your dog if you live in oregon or something like that.

DennyB — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 20:12:22 GMT

I had to say goodbye to my dog, Jade, on Sunday. She was just getting sicker and sicker and I knew that it was just time to take her out of her misery. I am going through a divorce, and i promised her that I would never leave her. And that is exactly what i ended up doing. my sadness and guilt are overwhelming. I am going to wait til after the holidays before I think of getting a new dog. it is too crazy over the holidays to do anything. and hopefully, my heart will be ready for a new dog.

We miss him so so much....

Not Again!

huskies r perfect — Thu, 10 May 2007 15:01:25 GMT

Not about dogs, but still.

I just found out that my brother ran over my new favorite cat, Prissy. She wasn't much older than Jaxon. She was alive, but they had her put to sleep. Every time I love a cat something bad happens to it!

Yes, we're going to get another kitten, because just recently I fell in love with some at the Humane Society. We will either get those or some of my aunt's new kittens, I don't know which. Two of them at the Humane Society are yellow tabbies, two are torties. (I have a real soft spot for yellow tabbies.)

I still love Prissy a lot and always will.

My poor boy is so sick.

patchwork_kitten — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 01:53:50 GMT

My sweet Rags is in the hospital, on aggressive fluid therapy. He has chronic renal failure, he was diagnosed last year. He's been doing so well the past 13 months, with his new diet. And then he spent the past weekend throwing up again. It was just like last time, when he had no appetite and didn't want to move an inch. I took him to our vet today and they ran his blood work again, and when she called and told me his kidneys were in crisis my heart just broke. So now he's all alone in his cage in the hospital, with an IV in his little leg, while they pump subcutaneous fluids into him in the hopes that it'll flush his kidneys out and lower his levels. They want to keep him there for at least 2 days. Possibly 3. Because this time his pancreas is damaged too. And she thinks he'll need a full 72 hours of fluid therapy before they might be able to see a positive change in his blood work. And if it doesn't make a difference, the only option I have left is euthanasia.

If it does help, and he goes back toward the normal range again, and I continue to give him fluids at home for days or weeks or months, how long until he relapses again? This time it was 13 months. What if next time it's only 6? And then 3? And then after that a few weeks? I don't know when I'll be able to decide that he's not happy and it isn't worth it to keep putting him through it. I don't want to kill him, but I don't want to make him suffer. We've been together for 13 years. He was my best friend through my childhood. I don't want to say goodbye to him.

My baby died 2 weeks ago.

countrygirlalex — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 10:42:28 GMT

Zeus was old and been sick for a while(heart failure) and the vet gave him a few months at most and he wasn't doing too well so I took him to the vet. I had to euthanize him that day . I was the hardest thing I've had to do. He required so much constant care the last few weeks to avoid exhausting himself . I barely slept or left the house,'cause i was worried about him dying. I feel guilty ,'cause sometimes I hoped he wouldn't go on feeling bad for months, that he would die quickly and not suffer. But he was my baby and had him for half my life.

Why People Live Longer Than Dogs

ft_Snark — Sat, 25 Feb 2006 20:33:06 GMT

This was posted on another forum and it really touched me...

Why Dogs Don't Live Longer Than People

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a
ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners,
Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very
attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told
the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered
to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it
would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the
procedure. They felt Shane might learn something
from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's
family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old
dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what
was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully
away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition
without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering
aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than
human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up,
"I know why."

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth
next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a
good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice,
right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know
how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Leave the rest to God.

Dying Dog

bagwellms — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 15:20:57 GMT

my 2 1/2 year old pomeranian, grizzly, has severe heart failure. a vavle on the left side of his heart is grown almost completely shut (birth defect) so 1) blood isn't pumping through and backing up into his lungs and 2) his liitle heart is pumping so hard to get blood through that the muscle are huge (his heart is taking up most of the room in his chest cavity). he's on a cocktail of drugs and is doing ok, considering. the vets at texas a&m are surprised that he's toughed it out this long.

we're running out of options to keep him feeling good. i'm not about to let him suffer just so i can hang on to him for a few more days. the other night he was coughing and gasping for air i was wondering if i should put him down. but after some oxygen and a few more drugs he is ok.

when do i call it quits? i had to be sedated the other days becaue icouldn't quit crying about him. i don't know how much more i can take.

LittleMyrt — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 21:03:06 GMT

I am so so sorry to hear about your dog. Both of you are suffering and knowing when enough is enough is a hard place to be. I wish I had an answer for you. I will keep you and your "Baby" in my prayers. I pray over my 2 every single day. And I've asked God not to make me have to make the decision to put one of them to sleep. I've asked that when their turn comes, that they go peacefully and naturally while in my arms. I don't want them to be alone when it's time. So dear one, my heart aches for you even as I write. May God have mercy on your dog and you too. Keep me informed. I care.

I can't get over him

SkyeTheManchester — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 03:35:13 GMT

I am still so upset over the loss of my Manchester Terrier puppy, Skye. He was my everything. Skye would cuddle with me in bed, sleep on my lap, and lick my face when I was feeling down. He died a while ago, and I have tried everything to get my mind off of it. Nothing works, because I miss him so much, and I wish he never left.

On May 11, 2006, Skye was let out to go to the bathroom, and he ran off with my other two dogs, both Labrador Retrievers, Nicki and Molly. The two Labs came back, but Skye had been left behind. The next morning, May 12th, my Dad was driving to work, and saw Skye in the middle of the road.

Skye had been hit by a car, and all I could do was blame myself. I loved that dog so much, and suddenly, he was gone. I still can't get over him. I had wanted to get another Manchester Terrier, and name her Kaia.

After getting Skye, I fell in love with the breed, and I want to keep the tradition going. It has been over seven months since his tragic death, and I'm not sure if it has been long enough. Having another terrier would help me so, but I wouldn't want to feel like I was replacing Skye.

What should I do?

Maybe this will help?

hotladynpink — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 18:32:05 GMT

Last week I had posted on the Cat channel the way I had felt and the way I coped when my animals have passed hoping it could help people feel alittle bit better it pertains to dogs to cause I had lost 2 dogs also so if anyone of you need to put your loss into perspective read my post on the cat channel I wanted to write something that would help but I really don't know if it has done anyone any good or not, I lost a cat that was very dear to me about 14 years ago and wanted to try and deal with this sore subject that no one else wants to deal with hoping I could help everyone deal with a loss and not to feel guilty about anything you did.............

I have a dog now that I adopted 4 months ago from my niece if I did not take this sweet dog he would have went to the pound and we know what happens there........... I have fallen so much in love with him and he has brought so much happiness to my husband and I since I have no children he is like our baby now and we love him so much he is such a good dog and so loveable and I feel he is the once in the lifetime Great Dog that we will ever have so well-balanced and so proud of himself ..........

Angel8 — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:44:53 GMT

She died a week before Christmas. The day after the Christmas dance. Just the thought of having fun at the Christmas dance, not knowing what would happen the next day!

i got up and went outside. Their was blood coming out of her bottom and her mouth as she puked..... sorry it's gross

*crys*

That Christmas, I didn't care about gifts, I was just sad and wanted to go in my bedroom and cry. My sister seemed 2 b the only person who cared 2! I will never 4get her! I still have her picture in a frame above our computer monitor. The frame and picture was a gift my sister got. We share a room. That was another thing 2 make that Christmas sadder.

I just want u 2 know I really understand the pain of a dog's death.

Feeling Guilty

Trixie — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 10:15:36 GMT

I just lost my dog Rusty 2 days ago. I have four dogs. All under 25 pounds. I love all of my dogs, but Rusty really had a special personality. He was extremely cuddly and affectionate, loved to play with squeaky toys, and loved to watch T.V. He would sit there for hours and just watch T.V. When something came on the T.V. he didn't like he would run up and try to attack it. He especially hated the Carl's Jr. chicken.

My husband and I are fanatical about keeping the dogs safe. Whenever they go outside we constantly check on them to make sure they haven't gotten out. We always check the gates. To us the outside was dangerous. As long as they were inside they were safe. Any we keep the dogs in the house whenever we're gone. We have gates up so that they can't get into the kitchen and the hallway. The only reason we keep the gates up is so that they don't pee or get into the kitchen trash.

Anyway on Wednesday my mom came over and must have not put the gate to the hallway completely up because Rusty went into our computer room and got into the trash and maybe suffocated on a bag of fishy crackers. When my mom came back home she noticed Rusty didn't meet her. She looked for him and found him on the floor with the bag over his head. She rushed him to the vets, but he was already dead.

I feel guilty because I threw that bag away, my husband feels guilty because he bought the crackers and left them on the desk, and my mom feels guilty because she didn't put the gate up correctly. We never put the gates up to keep them safe, just to keep them from peeing everywhere. The vets told us that he went quickly and peacefully, and that he might not have suffocated, but could have had something else wrong with him. He still had the food in his mouth and no regurgitation. My mom said that she could see the crackers on the floor next to his mouth and she is sure that air could get through.

I feel so horrible that my dog died in the house by himself. What if he was scared and alone. I never thought of our house hurting our dogs, it was always the outside that was dangerous. We rescued him a 1 1/2 ago and looks what happens. We were suppose to give him a better life. He was only 3 years old. I miss the way he smells and his soft fur. My husband, mom and I are devastated. I feel like I killed my dog. I love my other dogs, but I find myself wishing it had been one of them. I know if it had I would be just has devasted.

I'm sorry this is so long. I just want to know that Rusty went very quickly and wasn't scared. I love him so much.
