Well after 13 years together, i had to let my best buddy Heidi go today. Had her from 12 weeks old as a puppy and we had many adventures together. A crazy springer, but full of love and gave a lot of love and affection back to those around her. Unfortunately the past few months she developed a tumour in her mouth which gradually got bigger, until the past 36 hours it got worse and was bleeding. It was hard to see her in distress and not responsive so with a heavy heart i took her for one last trip in the car where she was laid to rest.
I’ll miss the crazy bugger, the house feels so empty without her. I know the STW collective are silly dog people too so thought i’d share my pain with you all. Sleep well Heidi dog….be good…. 🙁
yes, they’re never easy to read these threads, but i know dogs give a lot of pleasure. they can also break your heart. 🙁 she had a good life and was loved and cared for throughout. She’ll be up there now with all those tennis balls…! 😯
Wow, such kind eyes for a dog. It broke my heart when my dog Jarvis passed away. It gets a bit easier after time but she will always be a part of you. Sleep tight Heidi.
Why do I click on these threads? Really sorry to hear your news. Our staffie cross has given us 3 scares in as many months. We know there’s one coming soon that’s he’s not going to bounce back from. I’m expecting to be in pieces when it happens despite the warning we’ve got.
Such a very distressing time. Very sorry for you. Went through a similar thing three years ago. Wife and I still get teary. We’ve now got a crazy idiot cocker who’s just two. We love them so much. Unconditionally.
Thanks for all your words, it helps.mhard not having her about, maybe we take them for granted. Got up to go the loo during the night and normally I’d pop my head in the back bedroom where she slept to see how she was ( she used to like sleeping in back bedroom on spare bed!) but it’s hard knowing she’s not here. Had some great times, some good adventures together and lots of happy times.
We had ours put down about 2 months ago (16.5 yrs old!). Still cannot get used to not catching her out of the corner of my eye or getting under my feet when I am in the kitchen. They leave a big hole.
Sorry to hear about this, my boy is 10 now and slowing noticeably, can’t help thinking about the inevitable and I know I will be in bits when the day comes. I hate it that they are with us for such a short time, mans best friend indeed RIP Hiedi.
