I lost my Dane today. :~( He was playing outside and appears to have just had a heart attack and dropped where he was, we must have been 5 minutes behind him out the door and just missed him.
Of all the dogs we've owned and lost, for me this one is by far the hardest to deal with. He was but 3 days shy of his 5th birthday.
He's been my shadow, my friend and we've travelled many miles together sleeping in the van to go to dog shows and was my first shot at Crufts. I'm going to miss his slobber, sleeping on the bed with me, cuddling up to me on a tiny two seater settee, but most of all I'll miss my shadow. He followed me everywhere. Life inside and out just won't ever be the same again.

Nite nite Woo Woo, sleep tight underneath the Willow tree, say hi to Porsha & Eevie at Rainbow Bridge. I'll meet you again soon.

Oh No! :(

Thats awful! I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss! I know right now that it won't feel much of a comfort, but at least it was quick and without suffering.

I'm sure he will wait for you at the Rainbow Bridge with Porsha and Eevie...

Awww Porshiepoo, I was so sorry to read this post today and my heartfelt wishes go to you and the rest of your family at this time. I know only to well what it is like to lose a much loved member of the family. Look after yourself and remember, you will all meet again some day on Rainbow Bridge or the beautiful huge golden cornfield just beyond. Bless all of you. :~(

So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my 12 year old Border Collie Meg in the exact same way two weeks ago today. She was walking up the hall in front of me and just went down. No warning or anything.

Although I also have a Sheltie, my house is so quiet now as she had been such a big character in our life for so long. At least I know she didn't suffer and was active and happy right to the end.

Ohhhhh Shabbychick, i'm sorry to hear about Meg too, one of the dogs i lost was a border Collie called Glen, he was 15 years old and i miss him yet. He passed away in 2000. I'm sure you have many happy memories of Meg and just hold on to that and it will see you through this very sad time. Blessings to all in the family.:~(

I know it is so awful when it is so sudden but also good that they didn't suffer.

Your house is quiet with a Sheltie?!!!:eek:

How absolutely awful for you, you have summed it up so well about them being your shadow, its nearly 7 months now for me since i lost jake and i am still crying over it, when they are so young and its not expected it makes it so much harder to comes to terms with, but it shows just how much we loved them, Jake will be keeping him company too.
