My Mona is Gone

Cacotopia

Let's go full Trottle
I don't have the proper words right now, I am so emotionall right now. just about 12 days ago Mona had trouble keeping her eyes open, and then she seemed to bounce back and then suddenly she spiraled out of control. And he gums got pale, and she became aenemic, and lethargic and wouldn't eat, and we took to the hospital, but she died over night, I wish I was there with her, when she passed away. It so fast. She was there in my arms just yesterday, and now shes gone...

My partner and I have a dachshund who we've had awhile and is really showing her age lately.
I so dread what you're going through.
Hugs

It's hard. Our dog Wagner died in March and we're still missing him badly. We were lucky to have had him.

Yes...we had two, and they were best mates.
Had to integrate the survivor even more tightly into the family 'pack' so he didn't pine too much.
He's getting old now though, so we're just making the most of our time with him.

Can't have the close bond without the pain.

I hesitated to click on this because I knew I would start crying, and of course I did...
My heart is right there with you, I fully understand how you feel, there are no words...

There is nothing I love more than my cats, nothing, not even God or my husband, but they both know that.
We have lost so many cats, I cannot even give you the number, but it is well over 20 in the last 20 years, so you can do the math. I never seem to have a chance to recover before we lose another one, the last was in July of this year. He had kidney disease and heart disease and ultimately had a heart attack. That happened at home while I was at work and my husband witnessed it, but he used to be a nurse so he handles these things better than I do... The cat we lost previous to him was in March 2017. She also had heart disease and died suddenly in the vet clinic while getting a chest x-ray. I was at work then too. Most of the other cats died of kidney disease, mostly at home, all except one, because we care for them at home as long as we can. One cat we had had a tumor and one had a brain dysfunction ... We spent close to !0,000 on surgeries for those two cats but we lost both of them right when they came out of surgery. It was the MOST devastating thing that ever happened to me in my life. I lost my father and my mother and my sister but I was nowhere near as devastated from those deaths.

I came close to suicide when we lost one of the cats right out of surgery and I have PTSD from the shock. I already had latent PTSD from my father's sudden death from a heart attack when I was 12 years old so I will always have it.

I am sure you did everything you could do. Sometimes it is better when they go fast because they do not suffer. It is easier for them but it is harder for us because we love them so.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. You can post me a private message if you want to.

Being a dog lover, and having lived a long time, I have endured this way too many times. Perfect friends, always forgiving, totally trusting, and offering nothing but love for their human. Each time I think that I cannot go through it again, then I realize that the joy they bring is worth the pain.

There is always another who wants to love you, not as a replacement for your friend, but to begin a new story with you.

I would urge you, when you are ready, to allow that special one to find you. Your wonderful friend who has crossed the rainbow bridge, out of love for you, would want you to be loved as only a dog can.

I am an animal lover and although I never had a dog my Persian cats are like dogs, perfect friends, always forgiving, totally trusting, and offering nothing but love...

Until the last few years of my life, every time we lost a cat I was so furious at God, I hated God from the very core of my being.... I blamed God and thought He was punishing me.... I could not even think of getting another cat....

Then, a few years ago, after I had worked through some of these feelings and came to realize that it was not God's fault, when I lost one of my beloved cats I mysteriously found a Persian cat in a shelter in a small city 50 miles west of where I live, which is quite rare, especially since she had been there for about eight months... It was as if God led me to her and she was waiting for me... Her name is Princess and she is the cat in my avatar. The cage she is standing just outside of is the cage she had at the shelter.

We have lost more cats since that time and the same mysterious thing happened. Their names are Ellie and Carl.
