Goldie is gone...

[Mouldy Goldie]

Hi everyone,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this as I have had to say goodbye to my dearly loved Goldie this morning. She had been on the ventilator for 3 days (very long time in any one's opinion) and they were weaning her off overnight and she was making good progress when everything just stopped. The vet seems to think that she had a blood clot or something go to her brain and that there was nothing more that she could do. I took the children with me and we said our goodbyes and euthanased her with dignity and respect. I cannot even express how it feels to have a dog in its prime and also the centre of our family, be cut down without warning. We are all in shock and cannot believe that she is gone. I have missed her all week as I know she is not in the house as there are crumbs under the table! I guess I will have to clean them up myself now
Thank you to everyone who sent warm wishes and advice, it truly has renewed my faith in human kindness. There are not many of my friends who love dogs as much as I do so this forum has been a way for me to express my feelings about such a wonderful being.
I have also been heartened by the vet who has been my silver lining on such a dark cloud. She was in tears with me this morning and has been looking in on her even on her days off. Then she reduced my vet bill by $1500- can you believe that? I must have done something right somewhere for such kindness.
Nevertheless, my grief stops me from writing any more as the keys and computer screen are blurred with tears and I am totally devestated by losing her.http://www.dogforum.org/images/icons/icon9.gif
Thank you all so much for your kind words.

I'm so sorry to hear about Goldie. It really does sound as though her time had come. Few things hurt worse than losing a beloved dog. She is running free where she is now. http://www.geocities.com/mymixedbreeddog/smileys/notsmileys/rainbow.gif
