my sweet loving girl

Sadly, Patch died unexpectedly on Monday morning, January 24, 2011, at 3:30 am at the ER vet. We had a pet therapy visit Sunday afternoon and then a romp at the dog park, something she loved. She woke me up at midnight and 2:30 am - unusual for her. She was so lethargic I put my arms around her to see what was wrong and to help her up the patio steps and immediately knew she was in trouble - she was so distended. I rushed her to the ER vet in a blizzard praying it wasn't as serious as I thought; arrived at 3:00 am. The diagonosis was poor and prognosis even poorer - bloat. I let her go at 3:30 am. My heart is torn in half, I can barely breathe. She was my all. The house is so empty. She was loved by so many at the facilities we visited - I just turned in her work sheet and she volunteered 141 hours in 2010, she brought so much comfort to those in need. The numerous cards, flowers, emails, gifts rec'd from those whose hearts she touched is overwhelming. She was the sweetest most loving dog from the moment I picked her up from rescue (11/14/2002) to the minute she died. If she enjoyed life half as much as I enjoyed her in mine, she was a very happy girl.

Denise,
I'm so sorry to hear about Patch.
It was very evident by your posts that you loved Patch very much.
You gave her a great, loving home and hopefully you can find some comfort in that.

Again, I am so sorry.
We are so sorry for your loss. There is no easy way to lose a beloved companion, but when it's completely unexpected, you get so little time to mentally prepare. :(

You are in our thoughts and prayers.


Laurie and Oscar
so sorry for your loss. Patch sounded like she was everyone's girl. :(
Oh no, not Patch! Bloat is a fear that never leaves my heart having lost two dogs to it.

Good by dear Patch, you brought so much joy to so many people!
I'm so sorry for your loss of Patch. She was a special dog and made a lot of people happy. I hope your heart stops hurting soon.
I'm so, so sorry. When I saw your name as the poster, my stomach dropped. I can't even imagine what you're going through. Did she eat, drink or do anything different earlier? Bloat scares the heck out of me.
I am so very very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. My heart hurts for you. :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
My heart sunk when I saw that it was Patch who had gone to the bridge this time. I know yours is totally empty without your best friend as you always described her. She was a very special girl, and I'm so very very sorry.
