Sorry to hear of the loss of Sport.

Tal, so sorry to hear about Sport but please know that he is running and playing with my Duffy at the Rainbow Bridge. Every day I check out the rescues on line, there are so many poor souls looking for someone to love. Check out Lainey.

Your loss
 
So very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear pup. Sending prayers to you and your family. You are wonderful to rescue and how lucky your pup was to have such a great home. We can never give up on our lost souls - all dogs very special in their own way. Dog Bless You.

So sorry to hear about Sport, I know it was very hard to make that decision but remember you did the proper thing for him. Now he doesn't have to take those dreaded pills, he's in happy land right now, romping around.

I always advise my friends to get another pet as soon as you can, it won't take the place of Sport but it will ease the hurt....

Good luck! Kath

Tal I'm very sorry to hear about your loss of Sport. We just lost our shepherd mix Sophie a couple of weeks ago and I know too well the pain you're feeling. There's a pain and hurt that won't go away. I wish you peace.

We made the decision to put him to sleep to stop his very troubled breathing and so that he did not have to take any more of the pills he so hated.

My very sincere condolences on your loss. It's been over two years for us and we still see her everywhere in the house .................... sometimes I even hear her. She used to roll over on her back and get stuck between the wall and her bed and I'd have to get up to pull her out. Miss that companion more than you can imagine.

I too am sorry to hear about Sport. Please accept my condolences.

So, so sorry for your loss. We can never replace a beloved pet, but you can find solace knowing that you gave your Sport a safe, loving home. We lost our Lily last July. We adopted Bobby, a wonderful rescue, in October who has made us laugh again. Many thoughts are with you on this sad day.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.

oh, I'm so sorry about Sport. My little, Georgia, has also been diagnosed with heart failure recently. luckily, she likes the pills so far but every time she starts panting, I worry. I will hug her even more now knowing how this may end.

Sport was lucky to have you and I hope when you're ready, you'll open your heart up again to a dog that needs a home.

Sport did really fight taking the pills. He was also not much of an eater. He would often just eat lunch meat slices because he knew I could not hide a pill in it. Everything else he became more and more careful about consuming-- hot dogs, bratwurst, liverwurst, dog food, treats, pill pockets, melted cheese, etc.

The pill gun worked but he really hated it and it would almost always take two of us to get the medicine into him and even then he would have tricks about spitting it out.

Sorry you lost your friend...

My condolences on the loss, of your beloved, Sport.

I am so sorry for your loss. I still grieve for each of my furry friends, and it's been 30 years since the first one. It's OK to cry.

So sorry about the loss of your dog, Sport. You loved him enough to not let him suffer. Sport was loved in a way that all dogs deserve to be loved. RIP, Sport.
