Some Sad, now glad, Canine News

Kurdt

My dog Emma died this morning She took ill 3 days ago and apparently had a large tumour on her spleen that had ruptured and caused her to bleed internally.



This is the only image i have on this PC. I was threatening her with a bath

Anyway I'm not sure if there is a memorial thread to lost pets but perhaps we could start one here.

Sorry to hear that, man.

That's too bad. If she had no symptoms of illness/discomfort until 3 days ago, that's some small comfort. It stinks when you lose a pet. I still don't want to get another pet because of how devastated my wife and I were after the loss of Turbo (my avatar). My sympathies.

Kurdt

Thank you. Yes her discomfort was sudden and short lived so I suppose that is some consolation.

Sorry to hear about your puppy Kurdt. It is always hard to loose a pet.

Artman

So sorry. Seriously, they are like members of the family. I refer to my dog as "The member of the family without hands." Glad your pup didn't suffer too long.

I've been feeling like getting a parrot lately. With a lifespan of 50-80 years, it might actually outlive me.

That's so sad I am sorry to hear that. From the picture it looked like Emma was a very sweet and silly dog

Kurdt

Thank you all for the kind words. Its going to be very hard to get used to not having her around in the house.

Danger

My sympathies as well. Be comforted by the fact that you'll have lots of great memories of her.

I know what you mean. When our beagle died last Spring, there were too many empty places. You'd go out in the back yard and were tempted to start counting trees because something just wasn't right.

I'm the opposite of turbo-1. Having your pet die hurts a lot, but the emptiness gets to you even worse. I eventually had to get another dog.

I'm sorry to hear about Emma. It is always terrible day when you lose a good friend. Unfortunately, their relatively short life is the price that we pay for all of their love.

Poor Emma, she was a beautiful pup. I'm so sorry for your loss.

turbo

Kurdt, your Emma might have had an effect on myself and my wife. We talked about pets again tonight, and are now considering adopting a shelter (abandoned) dog who needs a loving home. Thanks. If the dog is a female, I've got a name picked out. ;-) I hope you don't mind.

I am sorry to hear that Kurdt . I know how it feels to lose a pet. At least there are some good memories to be remembered.

Astronuc

I am saddened by the passing of Emma, and for your loss. That it is a wonderful picture.

Yeah - I outlived many animals with whom I was very close. It is never easy.

Kurdt

Hey no problem Turbo, I would be honoured if you wished to use that name. I can think of no higher tribute.

I'd just like to thank everyone else for their empathy and sympathy. I know I thank you in almost every post in this thread but it means a lot.
