My little puppy has died.
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 11:47 AM by Lady Freedom
The black puppy of mine named Raider has left the earthly bonds. Maverick, my other puppy is under treatment for Parvo virus. Please send us good vibes to help him and give my man and I strength at this sad time.

1. bless your heart.
is it parvo? I used to work at a vet and had to take care of all the parvo dogs. It is a killer, unfortunately. I'm so sorry.

3. OMG- I'm so sorry, Lady Freedom.
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 11:45 AM by Kajsa
They are both precious.

It's so hard to lose a member of the family, especially
when they are very young.
I've gone through this many times with cats I've had.

I'm sending prayers and good thoughts to you and
your family at this difficult time.

:hug:

10. Lady Freedom, I am so sorry.
:hug: I had two dogs die of parvo at separate times when I was growing up, and I had one dog from the animal shelter who had it (we didn't know it when we adopted her) and spent the first three weeks with us between life and death. She made it, but I don't know how. :hug: My heart goes out to you, and I am cheering for your remaining little furball. :pals:

33. for Raider
Dogs In Heaven?

An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him. The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you."

"What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now."

"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road."

So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "S'cuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?"

"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable"

"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere."

"Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?"

"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in.
We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final."

The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."

"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"

"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

40. Sorry for your loss....
'Twould ring the bells of heaven,
The wildest peal for years,
If Parson lost his senses
And people came to theirs.
And he and they together
Knelt down with angry prayers
For tamed and shabby tigers,
And dancing dogs and bears,
And wretched, blind pit ponies,
And little hunted hares.
-- Ralph Hodgson

41. I've lost three cats and two dogs over the years...
And I know how deep the pain you are feeling about Raider must be. If anybody comes up to you and says "Geez, he was just a dog", please tell me and I'll personally key the bastard's car.

The bond we feel with our pets is as deep as the bond with our children or our parents. May Maverick recover and may the happy memories of Ranger give you solace.

44. So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful boy.




How difficult for you, but how fortunate for Raider to have lived his life, short though it was, surrounded by comfort and love with a bestest doggie buddy always at his side.


Big hugs to you:





A candle for sweet Raider:





And best healing vibes to you and Maverick:
