Horrible Horrible Sad Day.
59 Answers
I had an appointment at 2pm today, at the vets with my spaniel, Jack,
He has been a bit off colour for the last few days,
We had a lovely walk on the beach on sunday, monday night he wasn't that interested in his food,
tuesday, didn't eat all his tea again, wed, was sick about half seven at night and brought back everything he had eaten for last couple of days, rang vet an got appointment for 2 today.
He walked to the car and got in, very quiet, not his usual self.
Vet examined him and said 'we are going to have to do an x-ray'
I signed a consent form for them to operate if they needed to and left.
I had a phone call just after 7 to say that they were about operate.
Then another call at quarter to nine to say that they had lost him, he had eaten a piece of sharp plastic on the beach, it had punctured a small hole in his stomach and his gall bladder, he had been bleeding slowly inside, and had peritonitis.
I just can't believe he has gone, and I can't stop crying.
I walked him into the vets expecting him to be given some medicine, antibiotics, a tonic maybe, really really didn't expect him to die.
Life is sh*t sometimes isn't it. x

I’m Still Here
Mistress, please don't mourn for me,
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day,
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near,
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart,
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight.
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach.
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm every place!

Thankyou all for your lovely words and thoughts, it doesn't seem real yet.
He is the dog in my avatar, when my daughter made it for me, she put Jack next to me because that is where he always is, ether sood at my side, asleep on the floor at the end of the bed, or sat on my feet so I can't move without him knowing.
Psybs you're so lovely, I'm sorry for making you cry. x
