Horrible Horrible Sad Day.

[Sparkles62]

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

Sorry to hear that, poor Jack

Sparkles, how awful.
Cyber hugs.
Nothing you could do.
Crying is only natural.
Hope you feel better soon.

Oh Sparkles, I am so sorry for your loss and the sudden, shocking way that your Jack went. No words will help tonight but I truly know this feeling. We lost our 7yr old lab suddenly three years ago.
Give in to your grief now and slowly you will remember him without the tears. X

Sparkles, so sorry, such a shock for you, hugs, I'm crying too

Ah poor you Sparkles. All of us who have owned and lost a beloved pet really feel for you tonight. Hard to think right now I know, but soon you will look back on the happy memories and the good times you had with Jack. xx

[brandyrose]

So sorry Sparkles

[DTCwordfan]

Sorry to hear your bad news, Sparkles.......big hug from here as there is little we can do and, as you probably know, your grief needs to come out. Very tragic indeed. Just reflect on the good times that you had together and not these awful last few hours.

Hope this doesn't make you cry Sparkles but it's a lovely poem.

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
