My Abby was sick for the last couple days, I cked on her last night about 2:30 and she was just laying and breathing hard, I knelt down to pet her for awhile and then went to bed, when I got up this morning she was gone. I love her and I miss her so much today,. I cannot stop crying, I could not find anyone to help take her to the vet and finally broke down and called my son to come over, I hate asking for help, but the vet and the warden would not do it and did not know anyone who would. She weighed about 150 lbs, so it was no small task lifting her. I keep wanting to call her to go outside with me, or thinking I will step on her if I dont watch where I am walking. This is so hard to have something for all these years and lose it. I had a small nap this afternoon as I had such a sick headache, and when I woke up, something felt terribly wrong...... I lost my other dog about 12 years ago, and got Abby after that, I forgot how hard this was.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure Abby had a wonderful life and you can only hope she's left with those memories. I hope you feel better soon.

 
I'm so sorry Rebecca, I know how hard losing a member of the family like that can be, she was Beautiful !!! I still mis my Lab-Hombre that passed over 12 years ago. I love all my dogs, just wish they were with us a little longer than they are. Cry it out and don't fight it in the end you'll feel better, I promise. :flowers: :flowers: :flowers:

 
Rebecca: I am so saddened to know you are sad and lost without Abby. All of us get attached to our pets and it is no easier dealing with it than if it were a husband or wife or a child. I also lost a dog on my birthday once and had to bury her right in the middle of the birthday meal, so the kids would not see Sandy. He was about 10 years old. Well, Abby is not ill now and hurting. Cheer up! We all love you.

Rebecca, dear, I know that following your loss of Abby, you wouldn't want to be bright and cheerful. Every tear that you shed for her is an emblem of your love, so cry away until the sad memories slowly become replaced by happy ones. Love, Phil

 
although you're sad about the loss, I'm sure you gave her the best during these 12yrs, I know how it feels, but try to find comfort in knowing that you always kept her as a queen. *hugs*

 
Man, I feel your pain.

It's comforting to think back on the good times when the tears come, and forward to the next animal to receive all that love. Gonna be one lucky gal.

Bon Voyage, Abby!

 
So sorry! I love my Charlie and it will be a sad day when he leaves me. Just remember that you gave her a good life.

 
I'm so sorry Rebecca, *Does her best to hug over the internet.*

It is so hard to loose them, especially when they have been in our lives for so long. I lost my cat of 16 years late last year and there are still times when I will catch a shape out of the corner of my eye and automatically think it is him and then have to remind myself, no, he is no longer here.

Run free Abby, I'm sure there is an entire swarm of twinkling mantises waiting to escort you across the rainbow bridge.

 
So sorry Rebecca. :( She is now in doggie haven, chasing cars, and tearing the mailmans arm off! R.I.P ABBY! You will be missed!

 
I am SO SO SO SORRY for your loss. It saddens me so much when these things happen, my condolences.

 
Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost one of mine this January. The pain never goes away but it does get easier.
