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?

Fovever in my heart, my little Panda bear - 7/9/06

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

The full story is, my mom got a phone call from a stranger saying he picked up a little white dog on the highway, and did we own one. Afterwards my mom and I went into panic mode and waited on the sidewalk for the stranger to show up. When a little blue car finally pulled up, there in one of my friends arms was my little Panda bear in shock. The stranger insisted that she only bumped against a car, and was not seriously injured, but I wouldn't believe him.  I managed to call my uncle to give us a ride to the vet hospital and we rushed out of the car. The hospital moved to a new location and  Panda started to show signs of internal bleeding. After we rushed into the car, she started to cough up blood and it came out of her nose. All of the sudden I heard my friend (whose a EMT) started to perform CPR and then he said quielty: "guys ... she just lost her heartbeat" My mom, dad and sister and I always imagined her to go away in old age, not like this

If it's of any help, you should know that it probably meant the world to her to see you again and to be in your arms. If you think of how happy our dogs are to see us when we get home, we are their entire world. If she would have taken her last breaths somewhere away from home and away from you, she would have been scared, but she wasn't...she was in your arms...the only place she would have wanted to be. Know that she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. She may have been in shock, but she heard your voice, could smell your familiar scent, that is what is important is that you were with her up till the last second.

Hugs,

Pinkpoodle
