So very sad

[fabulouscazza]

I feel that i need to tell someone...

I felt the extreme loss yesterday afternoon when our 5 month old baby (staffy x maltese) was hit by a car. I saw it all, and it was the most gut-wrenching thing i have ever seen.

Our other dog, Sabre saw the whole thing too, how he must feel.....

A wonderfull woman picked us up and took us to the vet where they did what they could, but it was no good. We had to make the awful decision of letting him go.

I have to say that i'm not coping well at all. I can safely say i completely know how it must feel to lose a child. We lost one of ours last night....

Goodbye my baby Boston, Mum, Dad and Sabre Love you always our little angel. It is so quiet here without you. :angel:

I'm so sorry to hear :(:hugs:

It's just horrible when we loose a pet.
Dogs are my bestfriends too! I definitely feel your pain, I don't know what I'd do if I lost my doggies. :(

So sorry to hear!

Will you be burrying your precious staffy?

Happy Jumping and Playing over the rainbow Bridge Boston.

:hugs: :hugs: what a horrible, tragic way to loose your furbaby. I am so so sorry for your family's loss. :hugs: :hugs:

I am so sorry for your lose, this is a poem I give my customers when they have to put thier beloved pet down, I find the words really help.

If It Should Be

If it should be that I grow weak,
and pain should keep me from my sleep;
Then you must do what must be done,
for this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand;
but don't let grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years;
what is to come can hold no fears.
You don't want me to suffer, so,
the time has come, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
but please stay with me 'til the end.
To hold me close and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree,
it was a kindness done for me.
Although my tail, its last has waved,
from pain and suffering I'm saved.

Please do not grieve that it was you,
who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years;
don't let your heart hold any tears.

Thankyou all so much for your kind words... It hurts so much still, but i feel a little better. We buried our little angel last night in my parent's front yard.

My Husband and I just got back from the tattooist - we both got "Boston" written on our ankles. The pain of the tattoo helps with the pain of our loss.... I think he would have loved it,and we always have him with us now...

I am so sorry for your family's loss

[~rambox~]

My Rambo left us 2weeks ago today i will tell him to meet you bubby at the Rainbow bridge :kiss:

[Bel1978]

:hugs: hope you are feeling a little better, i dont know how i would be if i lost my scooby...

Although the naughty puppy, ate my vanilla candle, and broke the vase that the candle was in, my DH said it was all my fault as i left it on the floor..... Puppies or big puppies in this case are like children....

[Shazbutt]

My heart goes out to you :hugs:...what a tragic way to lose your baby....:crying:

The tattoo's are a gorgeous idea...a lovely way to remember him. :yes:
May you rest in peace little Boston :angel:

I cant thank you all enough..... really....

Some friends came over last night and we jsut sat around and watched the footy. It was good to have people over 'cause its so quiet in the house now with just the three of us...

We really dont know what to do in regards to getting another dog (a friend for sabre - we dont want him to get lonely when we are at work, thats why we got boston in the first place). We are not sure whether we should get a dog which is a couple of years old from the RSPCA (save a dogs life in place of our boy's life being taken from us) or if we should get another puppy (because having Boston in the house gave us so much joy watching him grow up and seeing all of his firsts).
We also dont know what to do in regards to timing of getting a new furbaby, if we wait or if we get a new bubba straight away (which might help us all heal a little bit easier).

We will never replace our Little Bossy, and we never want to. We are a bit stuck on this one.

Can anyone help with their experiences in this situation - If you lost a loved young pet (or old pet), how quickly did you get another furbaby?

I had to get my Devon Rex (cat) "Frankie" put to sleep when he was 4 months old, it was so much harder than I could have ever imagined it seemed so wrong to have to say good bye so soon after getting to love him so much.
My partner and I got another devon " Mr. Mario" about 6 months after Frankie left us. I think that was a good time frame, it let us heal for our loss for Frankie and prepare for another kitten. I wish you the best of luck and I want to say that I am sorry for your loss I know how hard it is.:hugs:

[kea's mum]

Sending you hugs on your sad loss. They become such a big part of our lives.
Dont feel bad if you do get another fur baby soon, not as a replacement but as a whole new family member as individual as Boston.
Remember that you will be giving another beautiful creature the chance to live in a secure loving home just as Boston did. All animals deserve that, they just arent given the chance to share what Boston had.
:hugs:

So we have made the decision to get another puppy. We pick up our spoodle, Ned on Good Friday.

It will be good for us, as well as Sabre, he is still very quiet.

Thankyou all for your very kind words, It has helped my husband and I so much.

It's still hard, but it's getting easier.... I can't believe it has almost been 4 weeks......

I know exactly how you feel because the same thing happened to my 18 month old Maltese puppy named 'Ziggy'.

It was a few years ago now and we were moving some things into my mum and dads place when Ziggy got out for 2 seconds.

I ran down the neighbours drive because I knew that was where he would go but was too late.

The stupid girl next door who speeds up the driveway in reverse had hit him.

He lay there twitching and I am with you it was the most traumatic thing!

It took me ages to get over it.

What makes it worse is that this girl continued to speed up the driveway in reverse after this had happened!

If she had learnt from her mistake it would have been easy to forgive but I just couldn't!

I will never forget the pain I felt....

If it makes it easier for you I have heard that our pets are first in line to greet us on the Other Side!

RIP Ziggy and Boston:angel: :angel:

I am sorry that your dog died, but I don't think you can compare the death of a dog to the death of a child.

[Aquamarine]

I am sorry that your dog died, but I don't think you can compare the death of a dog to the death of a child.

I agree there is no way it can be compared to the loss of a child.:no:

But it is hard and it will get better as time goes on........:yes:

[Hokey Pokey]

Oh how awful :crying:

[fabulouscazza]

The only reason that I say that I know how it would feel to lose a child is because our dogs ARE our children.

I know that it would be much harder and take longer to get over the loss of a child, if you ever would.

I am definately not trying to take anything away from the feeling people have when they lost children, but thats just how i felt, and still feel.

I am sorry of i have offended anyone by my comments, but please, understand that these guys are MY children and at the moment, that's how bad it feels for me and my husband.

i hope you all understand......

[natasha]

Oh how awful! Im so sorry! It must be very hard for you to deal with the loss of a pet you obviously loved so very much.:hugs: :hugs:
