IQ'd Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Max, my nine year old Cairn Terrier was diagnosed today with lymphoma. It is stage four and he won't have long to live. My heart is broken and I am devistated. He was the apple of my late husbamds eye. We all call him our buddy and he sure is. Here he is with his "sister" Tedi.

yankiequilter Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 We love our fur babies and our hearts break when we have to let them go. Enjoy the love he gives you while he is still with you and hoping the memories of the happy times he gave you will give you comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Julia, I am so sorry, so very sorry. I know exactly how awful it is to lose our babies! They wiggle their way into our hearts and there they stay. We love them no matter what and they love us back. I have tears for you right now. This will not be easy but I so hope you can find peace. I lost my Happy in 2000 and here 11 years later I can still think of her and cry. Blessings to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia, I'm so sorry to hear about Max. We love our dog too and he is our 3rd Brittany Spaniel. When the other 2 died, it was very hard on both of us. Sorry to hear you have to go thru this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia, So sorry to hear about your Max - here's hoping you have a few more wonderful memories to store away. Just last year, we lost our Chugs, and we now have a new pair of puppies to warm his place in our hearts. When I was grieving the most last year, someone on this forum posted this - and it helped: "Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here the pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carring him faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together." Prayers for you and your family (two and four legged both), Julia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia, I'm so sorry. I know that pain and it is no fun.

anita Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia - I share your tears. I am so very sorry. They bring so much joy to our lives and are so much a part of family. The first week of March our 15 yr old corgi was called home...we let her go the Friday after the vet recommended on Wed. that our 7 yr old boxer/bulldog have some bumps removed. Before we could recover from saying goodbye to Plum, his pimple sized "bump" exploded...in 6 days. Level 3 MCT (mast cell tumor). Devastated is the word I use as well. He is our heart. We have no idea whether it will spread or not...but the grading suggests it will. My prayers are with you...we know the heartache. May you find peace in the memories you have with Max.

Rae50 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia, I'm so sorry to hear about your Max. Pets become family and it is difficult when they get sick and they have to leave us. We lost our last dog 2 years ago and we still miss her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 My heart goes out to you. Love Max up, for the rest of his days. Our fur babies sure teach us lessons on unconditional love. I believe that is why we miss them so much when they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm so sorry to hear this. Pets bring us so much joy, but the sad truth is, they never live as long as we do. I hope you'll help your dear friend to the other side before he suffers much. Lavish him with love till then - as if I even have to tell you. My heart goes out to you. I know that pain.

DoryJM Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia, I'm so sorry to hear this. I've just lost my sweet Hank, and I know how much it hurts.

carolinequilts Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Very sorry to hear this news. We all love our pets and losing them is like losing a member of our family, and it is very painful. (((hugs)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammi357 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (((((((hugs))))))))))))) That's so hard. We lost our 'German Shedder'/ (as Shana calls them!) and Rott mix going on five years years ago, and some days are still really hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmland Quilter Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Love him while he's still here and let your heart warm towards another when he's gone as a tribute to the love and companionship he's given you.

Sheri Butler Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Julia, I am SO SORRY! There is nothing like losing our pets, as they are children to most of us pet owners. If it's any comfort, you at least will still have pitter patter foot steps in your home with your other cute pet! He know's he's been loved and cared for and that's what matters most to our little furry friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I am so sorry. I am such a cry baby...my eyes are tearing up. My pets are my family too, so I understand what you are going through. I'll say a prayer for him and you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm so sorry. I'm sure he's had a great life with you and your husband, and can now play with him again. I'm so sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
