Lost my dear girl

Last night trying to get my old girl to go out for a wee, she wouldn't get up and had some sort of seizure.
I knew she was dying, I frantically called the vet, my husband stayed with her. It was too late. She was 13, a beautiful German Shepherd. I feel so bad that I didn't get to say goodbye, I was so scared and didn't want to see her like that. I wished I had sat beside her now 😢

You did the very best you could do for your lovely girl. She knew you were there with her, trying to get her help. She crossed the bridge with her loved ones with her - all that any of us could wish for. Be kind to yourself and remember your girl with love.

I'm so very sorry. It must be heartbreaking for you. You were trying to get her help, though, and she wasn't on her own. It sounds as if it happened quickly, at home, in familiar surroundings - try to take comfort in that.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.
You were in a difficult and stressful situation and you did exactly what you needed to do.
Your lovely old girl wasn't alone, she was at home, in her safe place, where she knew she was loved.
Be gentle with yourself 💐

I'm so sorry what a terrible shock. You only left her side to get her help and she went swathed in years of your love and care.

Thankyou all. Flowers
I'm just heartbroken, they really do become part of the family.

I’m so sorry OP. She would have known you were close. It’s such a hard time. Try to dwell on the happy memories.

Sorry about your loss.

My beloved boy died at emergency vet on a metal table while being worked over by strangers. I wish he'd died at home.

It's horrible for you but a pretty decent end for him.

💐💐💐

Sorry, I meant for her

The same happened to our old dog last year. He died before we got to the vet.

Although we were devastated, we were so thankful it happened that way and we didn’t have to go through the horror of having him put down. It was a great comfort to
us in the days that followed.
