I lost my beautiful, kind, brave and gentle Cara to cancer today. She was fine on saturday and just went downhill really quickly. She went quietly, peacefully and with diginty at home. Words can't explain just how devastated we are. We had such a special bond, she was always by my side. I have just opened the patio doors and told her to go out for a wee, time for bed. I don't know what I will do without her. She was all anyone could ask for in a friend and was by my side constantly. I truly think my heart is breaking, i didn't know I could cry so much.
Sleep tight my little angel Cara, will see you at rainbow bridge. I love you. xxxx

thanks to the girls here for the support i got when we first got the diagnosis, especially Dobiegirl. xxx
 
I am so sorry you didn't have Cara for longer, but hope you can take comfort in the fact her end was peaceful. It does get easier but it takes a long time. RIP beautiful Cara.
 
So sorry. You gave her a beautiful life and I'm sure you have loads of happy memories - this will give you comfort in time but I know just how hard it is at this horrible time. My heart goes out to you.
RIP Cara x
 
Such a shock & such a shame but better going quickly than being ill for a long time.


Let yourself grieve......don't try to pull yourself together too quickly but remember the good times and not this last few days.
 
So sorry. Know exactly what your feeling right now.
Focus on remembering the good times and don't feel bad for crying. You will never forget her but it will get easier :)
 
Oh no my heart sank when I read your title:(, I have been thinking of you both since you told us about her diagnosis, my heart goes out to you, there are only 2 things that will ease the devastation and horrendous feeling of grief and that is time and sleep.
I recently went through a horrendous period of grief and still can't openly speak about it, I literally did not want to wake up as its the only peace I could find, but as they say time is the best healer and indeed it was, I never wished time by so fast in my life.
I think what I am really saying is I know how you feel and I hope time does go by swift and help ease your grief.
One thing is for sure you can tell how much you adored your girl (((hugs)))

Sleep tight Cara you beautiful girl xxxx
 
Thanks ladies. I really appreciate your comments, they mean a lot to me. I am having a terrible time, I slept a bit. I was scared to sleep because i knew that when i woke up i would think it was just a bad dream and then have to realise it was real. As it was, i awoke with tears streaming down my face. I was sitting in the garden at 5 this morning and just cried like a baby. I have spoken to her a lot today, i think i just wanted to feel like it was just a normal day.
I know you are all right and it will get better, cc i was just wishing i could fast forward to when i feel better.
I know she is ok where she is, i know i am just crying because we are going to miss her. My poor Kyle went to bed last night with her blanky (sooky blanket that she has had from a pup).
I know you all get it as i am sure you have all been there.
She was loved and i was never in any doubt that she knew it. I know myself that she had the best life. I was so lucky to have had her too, she was really such a special girl. I don't think I have ever met a dog like her, she was just so gentle.
I was heartbroken when i have lost my other dogs, but accepted it because they were all elderly. But Cara was only 6 and a half. I should have had another 6 or 7 years. xxx
 
I am so sorry. I hope you will find comfort in the support on here and maybe in the knowledge that others here understand exactly what you are going through. My much loved Jazzie broke my heart when she died and I spent an entire day, in bed, bawling. As did the rest of my family. RIP Cara.
 
so sorry :( RIP beautiful Cara, run free girl xx
Huge hugs for you, I know you have been dreading this day xxx
