So very sorry for your loss. Always remember Moby knew how much he was loved. It is so hard to lose a furkid - they take a piece of your heart.

I, like everyone else, am so heartbroken over this unanticipated loss of your sweet Moby.....but please remember, you did absolutely everything right, some things just sneak up and send us into a tailspin we can't pull out of. You are not alone here, we are here for any emotional support you may need or want. No matter how we lose our pups and kitties, it hurts all the same, deep to our souls and pain that seems to never end. We do understand.
Keeping you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers.....

TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
I just wrote something to you and it wouldn't "go through. So I had to screenshot it. Sorry to do it this way, but I know I couldn't have duplicated it.
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
oh my gosh, I don't know how to express how much your support has meant to me. I truly feel an outpouring of love and care.
Darn you Sally, I didn't think I could cry anymore. Thank for such a beautiful message, screenshot worked.
I will try to share more of his story in coping with loss, but it will be down the road a bit. My husband I need to come to grips with our loss first. As the way life goes, we also unexpectedly lost my Uncle. I like to think Moby was there to lead him to a reunion with his beloved dog Blackie, who passed away many years ago.
Thank you all again! I will stay in touch.
Beth
Your uncle too? Bless your heart.
Sally really did hit the nail on the head. Some days I can't sign in here because the losses can be so unbearable. Finding the right words is impossible, as it should be because Moby meant more to you than words can ever convey.
Yes, we all feel it. Every time a fur-baby is lost, it's as if they were one of our own. We are a virtual pack here and your heartbreak is shared amongst us all.
Not only does this pack provide support, we have shoulders here for you too.

Oh Beth, losing your uncle too is unreal, I am very, very sorry. Take your time healing and know that we will always be here for you if you want to lean on us. Our hearts go out to you.

I want to thank everyone for all the kind words and support we received these last few days. Sadly, Moby lost his battle today. We are not sure what happened, but he went into cardiac arrest last night. They got him back, but as of this morning he still wasn't breathing on his own. I called my husband, but before he made it home they called and told me his heart had stopped again. They were doing chest compressions, they were getting no response and thought his brain had been to long without oxygen. I told them to let him go.We were able to go there and see him and say our goodbyes. Very difficult. They think maybe a blood clot broke loose and went to his lungs. We take comfort in knowing that every decision we made, was made by thinking of what would be best for him. My poor other dog Maverick doesn't understand what is going on, but has been trying hard to comfort me.
Thank you all once again!
Bethie - No words can describe this...I hurt for you - and your family. I shall keep you in my thoughts - All the best, Kristy
