Gosh I know it's stupid she's been gone over a month now but I can't stop crying over her today :( it's getting close to Christmas and I was thinking about presents for the dog and it just set me off.

We've still not scattered her ashes but it doesn't feel like the right time yet-but I feel awful that she's just sat on the mantle piece :(

Boo is also going through a phase of looking SO similar to Chlo and it means I'm constantly calling him Chloe by accident and I hate it :( and I hate how I'm always saying 'we have dogs.. No, sorry, one dog'.

Slap required please, I know we did the right thing I just miss my baby so so so much. I love Boo but he's only just 6mobths and he's such hard work still and I feel so guilty for just wishing we had Chlo who was easy and always happy just for a cuddle and a snooze.. Not constantly chewing things, leaping on the sofa, sitting on the laptop and generally being a pain in the bum. :(

Always hard losing a creature- they worm their way in and leave a hole when they depart..... maybe concentrate on training with Boo to take your mind off things... hug x
 
Probably everyones still smarting over you telling either a lot of half truths in your story and leaving out details just to confuse everyone or putting to sleep a dog just because it was itchy...
You may notice people don't beleive the organ failure story as your dog was able to swim the day it was PTS.
 
:( Been there, still there on occasion 18 months on! Found myself weeping on the bus the other day when I saw a spangle that was the spit of Madam Jill-Till. :o

Cliched I know, but time will work its course. She's imprinted on your heart forever, but as I like to think, there's no better place for her than in there.

Soppy and cheesy I know, but hey, it gets me through! Even if I have managed to snivel down my sleeve typing that :o :o

Have a big hug from me x
 
Susie, shut up. Chloe had organ failure. She was not at deaths door and I never ever said that, but her organs were failing and she was going to die. We made the decision to PTS before she was really suffering (although tbf we probably left it a day or two too late as she was bad on the last day).

You're right, she is in my heart and she's not going anywhere. Just my first dog, you know.
 
Your first dog is a bit like your first love - rather special and unforgetable.

Chloe will be in your heart forever, and that's just as it should be.

((((Hugs))))) - sounds like you could use a few. Things will get easier but it will take it's own sweet time. You'll have good days and not so good ones, but you will come out the other side, all the better for having known and loved such a lovely girl as your Chloe.

Hi Ravenwood.

The itchy skin was an allergy as we thought-she was always allergic to something, just in a very low way-only ever really showed as the constant ear infection and slightly scurfy skin. The reason it flared up though was because of the organ failure-which is why it suddenly got so bad with seemingly no cause.

The organ failure, we'll never know what caused it because I didn't want a post mortem or loads of tests after we'd had the tests to confirm failure done. General consensus between the vets is that her body was just shutting down-she was always an unbelievably unhealthy dog from day 1.

Interestingly, her father is about to be put down-basically identical symptoms EXCEPT they found cancer in one of his organs (can't think which now... Liver maybe?). Identical bleeding etc. Now he's only 4, so seems too much of a coincidence to me.........

Perfect example for why you should always buy from reputable breeders anyway. Xx
 
Sorry to hear that - what a very distressing situation all round.

And I agree, have a very jointy lab (diagnosed at 6 months), although 8 now, I wouldn't have another lab.
 
Well we bought Bracken while we still had Chloe-he's like 13 generation hip scored, breeder owns mum and uncle and grandmother and great aunt, dad equally well bred. And touch wood so far, he is absolutely perfect-exactly what a lab should be.

Bit different from poor Chlo who came home at 16weeks riddled with fleas, had had 4 surgeries before age of a year and got put down aged 2! :(
