Ozstar Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 What such gorgeous dogs that have passed over the bridge, what a wonderfull place it must be with all these pets there. Patch (Alaskan Malamute) PTS at 7 for kidney failure about 12 years ago Patch was my first pedigree/show dog, he was the 2nd Alaskan Malamute to win a Best in Show in SA and the 3rd Alaskan Malamute to pass grade 5 obedience in Australia Gemma (Basset Hound) PTS at 12 from old age last August Gemma was my heart dog and not a day goes by that I don't miss her, in the end she was blind and deaf and riddled with cancer Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suziwong66 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Keiran; German Shepherd we lost at 10 years from suspected heart attack. He wanted out for a wee break. We went out to the back yard to let him in 15 minutes later and he was dead in his bed. Casper: Labrador Retriever, 14 years. He'd been struggling with incontinence for the year prior to his death, but the straw that broke the camel's back for us was when he lost the use of his back legs; we made the big decision to give him his wing.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voloclydes Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) last dog died here was a jrt... aged 18 still healthy and died of snake bite.. yes he killed the snake. most of ours have lived past 14... the odd one has died of no real sign found dead... in those cases i assume snake, or bad luck. seems a lot of younger dogs on here pts... or dying young. eddited to add... i have a chi who was at deaths door last year... just got home from a trip and it was a long weekend.... i thought it was time but i chickened out... he came right and has been fine since.... but his time is coming....

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Get ready for a long list and should anyone wonder, each dog had all the love, attention and vet care possible at the time. And no, just because I go through losing dogs on a fairly regular basis, losing them doesn't get any easier, I grieve long and hard for each of them. I miss them all as the individuals they were. All were rescue dogs so I've indicated how long I had them as well, some of their ages are approximate. I have lost 2 dogs in earlier times but haven't included. Name Type of Dog Age/Illness how long I had them 2007 Wonder-dog Foxie cross 7yrs/Brain tumour 2 yrs Gloria GSD cross 12 yrs/Ovarian cancer 6mths Pippa Terrier x 12 yrs/kidney failure 1 yr 2008 Cindy Westie x 14 yrs/back legs went 2.5 years Dixie Border T x 15 yrs/Cushings 7 yrs 2009 Luigi Italian Gyhd 16 yrs/neurological 9 yrs Herbie JRT x 12 yrs/Cushings 18mths Rompe Italian Gynd 5 yrs/jaw crumbled* 2 days *his jaw crumbled when my vet tried to remove his teeth which were left rotting in Bebe Tenterfield 11 yrs/crippled 2.5 yrs his head and he had many other issues, all of which could have been treated but it was too late when I got him - my website has the story: www.iggyrescue.com.au - Iggy Rescue was set up in his memory 2010 Sally Cattle dog x 12 yrs/liver cancer 2.5yrs Pepper Keeshond x 11 yrs/lung cancer 2 yrs 2011 Roly Aust Terrier x 18 yrs/old age 18mths Sienna Min Pin x 2 yrs/brain damage 6 mths and 2 dogs I rescued due to a brain tumour and advanced peritoneal hernia 2012 Taz Chi x 15 yrs/heart failure 10mths I'm happy to provide any advice to someone who might be facing any of the above illnesses. Dixie outlived medical expectations with her Cushings, she survived 4 yrs on meds rather than the expected 3 yrs. She had a pituitary tumour. I've currently got another Cushings dog whose been on meds for a couple of years, it's unfortunately common and sometimes hard to spot, diagnosis is also a challenge and expensive. During the years above, I've had between 4 and 7 dogs, including foster dogs, living with me at certain points and as I take the older and sometimes sicker dogs, I'm going to lose them no matter how hard I might try.

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This thread reads like an Honour Roll. I feel like it is an honour roll, all the dogs on my list have been truly beautiful beings some of whom suffered for many years before I found them, for some it was too late to fix their medical issues but for whatever time I had them, they were truly loved.

Sayly Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Lost Gracie (Border Terrier) at 7 years due to a snake bite. Lost her the day before Christmas last year. Maizie died in an accident at the breeder's when she was only two years old in November last year. Miss this girl like crazy. She was so special and taken way too soon. Bridget was an Irish Terrier who was PTS at 14 1/2 years to kidney failure. Lily was a Staffordshire cross who died at 6 from a lung infection that didn't respond to any treatment. Zsa Zsa was a Bull Terrier cross who was PTS at 5 due to heart failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
