My Sunshine (puppy) is gone. (warning contains tears)

[dreamyjeanie]

Some of you may remember me posting about getting a golden retriever puppy back in April so I wanted to post here about her passing. She died this morning. She had been outside playing with Breeze early this morning and everything was fine. I went out a little later to fix their food bowels and when I opened the door she was laying where she always lays but she didn't get up. I tried to wake her, but she wouldn't move. She was still warm so I ran inside, got my husband out of bed, called our vet and we rushed her to the vet. They tried to revive her, but she didn't make it. They performed a basic autopsy, to see if they could tell what happened, but they found no reason. The vet said it was probably kind of like when a seemingly healthy teenager dies at sports practice.

She was just 5 months old(but big, over 50lbs). She was only in our lifes for a short time, but she surely filled our hearts. I know the pain will subside with time. I just can't believe we are going through this again. Taking her to the pet cemetary this afternoon brought back all the memories of Picante's passing in December. Thanks for letting me share.

Jean

Here's one of the last pictures I took of her.

Oh my God, Jean! I am sooooo sorry!!!! What a beautiful dog she was, I remember you posting pictures of her.

My heart goes out to you and your family, it is so hard to lose a four-legged friend. I know there are no words to ease your pain!! I know that in the short time she was with you, she had a wonderful life!! And I know she loved you just as much as you loved her!

Please take care of yourself and I am sure you know that we are here for you during this difficult time.

Oh Jean - I am soooo sorry for your loss. I remember talking about our dogs on the RT and how you just lighted up when talking about yours. No words can possibly ease your pain for this loss right now, just enjoy the wonderful memories you had with her. I am truly sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss! We had to put down one of our dogs just a couple of weeks ago, so I understand how you're feeling right now.

Jean,

I am so sorry to hear about your puppy. What a beautiful picture of him. He surely didn't look like a puppy. I will pray for you and your family for you to be comforted. What a horrible experience for you.

HUGS,

Cheryl

You got little Miss Sunshine right around the time I got Jimmy my Aussie pup. I remember we had a bunch of new puppies about that time on the Cathe boards. I'm sooo sorry to hear about Sunshine!! How heart breaking! Poor little girl. I'm crying for you! You must be devastated. {{{HUGS}}} You, your family and your sweet Sunshine are in my prayers.

I lost my other Aussie in March. Yeah, the pain subsides in time, but it never goes away. I'll be thinking of you. I am so sorry.
