My poor little lady, Fidget, died this morning. She had adrenal disease, but was undergoing treatment for it, and seemed happy and well in herself. This morning, she was happily stuffing her face with beef and licking malt paste from her tummy while I clipped her claws. I was concerned that her sister, Twitch, is showing some signs of the same horrible disease, so J took them back to Andorra with him this morning. When he got to the vet, Twitch came out of the carrier, but Fidget stayed curled up. The vet did what he could, but she had passed away in her sleep. Both J and the vet were in tears. I know this is a doggy forum, but I know you'll also understand how we're feeling now. I'm so glad she was so happy to the last. I'm glad she seemed to have no pain or distress from the cancer. I'm glad she went in her sleep. But I'm still so sad, and so sad for Twitch, who I know will miss her terribly. RIP little lady. You were loved.
I'm so very sorry to hear this. I know she has been a loved part of your family for a long time. So good to hear she was happy and loved to the end, and passed away in her sleep. Doesn't make the loss any easier for you all right now though.
So sorry to hear about your little Fidget. I have two bunnies, and although they don't play as large a role in my life as Stanley, I love them very much so I can imagine how you must be feeling. Hope you're all ok, and Willow and Shawdow are cheering up their mum and dad X
Shadow is helping the best he can. By making sure my face and ear canals are as clean as they can be, and by bringing me anything and everything he can fit in his mouth.
I'm so sorry for your loss. They both looked like such charming ladies in the photo you posted recently. I hope Twitch will be healthy for as long as possible and not be too lonely for her sister. Sending hugs.
So sorry, Fiona. And you had just posted photos of the two of them! Glad Shadow is helping you to stay nice and clean! He understands what is going on. They are so intuitive.
So sorry to hear this. Sending hugs to you. Hope Twitch will cope ok. I'm sure it will distressing for her. RIP Fidget, you were loved to the end.
Dear little Fidget, you will miss her as will Twitch. She sounded as if she had a good and fulfilling life and that is what we all can give them, however long or short their lives may be. So sorry.
RIP Fidget. I hope you, J and Twitch can find solace with each other. Glad the pupsters are helping xxx
Thanks everyone. I've been completely rubbish today. Went for a long run this evening, which the dogs loved and helped me forget about things for a while. I've always been an avid hater of running, but I've just discovered I quite like trail running. Because I'm new, it hurts pretty quickly, which is what I needed so I could focus on my lungs exploding. I'm just about to pour myself a big glass of something to drown my sorrows and cuddle up under the duvet with the pooches. J is back in Andorra, giving Twitch lots of cuddles. It's hard with him there and me here. We'll have the results of Twitch's scan back in a couple of days. Fingers crossed for good news.
