Please help, I lost my baby today!!!!!!!!!!

My heart aches for your tragic loss. Please know we all stand with you in your grief. Here you will find compassion, understanding and a total absence of judgment and blame. May God and St. Francis comfort you. Love,
 
I'm very sorry to read about your sudden and tragic loss. My family and I just lost one of our sheltie girls last week. They are never with us long enough but because we loved them so much we will be able to open our hearts to another sheltie some day. :sadsmile:
 
Oh my - what a heartache, we are all so very sorry,
Our prayers are with you to help with your loss.
Sylvia & our 4 shelties.:cry:
 
Oh dear, I am so, so sorry for your tragic loss. It's never easy to say goodbye to our loved ones, but then they never really do leave us. They will always remain in our hearts and memories - a warm spot in our souls.
 
sheltie loss

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
My oldest sheltie boy Indy slipped his collar June 2000 and ran into the street and "caught" a truck. He had a concussion and a broken scapula and the vet said that he would not survive his injuries. He did....but we have since fenced our yard and I tend to use harnesses now when walking our energetic younger dogs.

It happens so fast and arms are not long enough to snatch them back
 
i dont think i want to read the thread, the thread title is just enough to get me teary eyed:cry:

last one i read i cried till i couldnt cry anymore, i havent lost a pet yet but i know its close
I envy you for knowing what that feels like because you are familiar with it an i am not an i fear that feeling of losing a pet all the time, an i dont want to fear it.

I did almost lose my oldest sheltie, Nikki. When she was younger she loved to run away, an get out of the fence an run away...so many times she did that and i got so paranoid of even letting her outside to use the bathroom that i had to go to a counselor, Well last time she got lose she ran towards the street "darn these shelties for being so fast" an well she ran towards the street an almost, i mean almost got squished by a mini van, it ran over her tail, poor girl got so scared she ran towards me for help crying....never ran away again but she doesnt like being near cars anymore...
She did try to run away a week ago but poor girl is too slow to get away lol

When I was 4 years old, we had a cocker spaniel named Bonnie.

I remember one day hearing my Mom call out for "someone to let the dog out!" Being 4, I didn't really know the difference between front yard and back yard (which was fenced), so I let Bonnie out the front. Bonnie ran away and was hit by a car.

For year's I held myself to blame over her death and nothing my parents could ever say would convince me that I hadn't killed her.

This year my 19 year old daughter died and of course, the same type of guilt and remorse takes over.

And my 12 year old pup, Timber died 6 weeks later and I beat myself up for not seeing the signs.

You ask yourself over and over: If only, if only, if only....!". I've now discovered that this is a pointless exercise. We can learn from the things that happen to us and our loved ones, but take that learning and look forward.

I'm not religious particularly, but I do believe that things happen for a reason....perhaps we'll never know what the reason is exactly, but our cumulative experiences of joy and loss shape us all in ways that I trust makes us better somehow, to give back in ways that we might not have otherwise.

I don't know if this helps. But it's helped me to rationalize somewhat the losses that I had this year - that perhaps there is a greater good that comes out of it.
