What to Do and Say...
Like I said.. their dogs are like one of my own. Well today we just found out that Sam, he is a 7 year old yellow lab has cancer and the vet said he expects that he has only 1 to 2 weeks left.. so Roseanne brought him home... This is unbelievable to me... last week he was his normal self.. running and romping with the rest of the pack and a few days ago... he just stopped eating and has lost a hugh amount of weight. I have never had to deal with the death of an animal before.. Dudley and Murphy are my first dogs.. how do I help Roseanne with this impending grief.. I am so igronant when it comes to this stuff.. you think they will live forever... This is my Sammo: http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=21905&j=t |

| Beleave when I say how sorry I am to see this. I can tell you we only had 1 day when we found out our Kassie OES rescue had liver cancer. We had taken her to be groomed on a tuesday, she was ok till that evening when I got home she was not acting right. She had always selpt next to my husband on the floor. She never left the bed in the living room that night.
In the morning we called the vet and took her in.It was my birthday. Thats when she told us what was wrong. She needed to be put down. I asked her if she was in pain and she told us no. So we waited one more day to say our good byes to her. She did not eat or drink that day. The next day we took her for her last car ride that she loved so much. Then to the vet. We both layed on the floor with her, talked to her and then she was gone. She was 12. We had her 8 years. I still cry about it. That happened a year ago the past March. This March we rescued another girl OES. But she can't take Kassie place no matter what. Just give him all you love and taken tons of pictures. The tears are running down my face, With much Love Deana |
| Cancer is so weird. My beautiful sweet kitty Chia (sister of Miles, who I post photos of from time to time) came down with a rapidly spreading deadly cancer this past spring. She died within 6 weeks off her diagnosis. I think the best support is to emphasize the wonderful experiences, cute quirks, great life that Sam has had. The worst thing is to emphasize the poor doggie, I feel so bad feelings that we all feel. I also thought it was nice when people would come over to spend time with me and Chia, talking about the good times. Sam sure looks like a honey. I have much sympathy. . . |
| What a sweet looking guy. I am so sorry you and your friend have to go through this. It is never easy to loose someone you love. Your friend is lucky to have your support through this difficult time. Having somebody to share with will help. I have seen many wonderful tributes on here. They all make me cry. But I think it helps the healing to express all the wonderful things they brought into your life and to know they will never be forgotten. |
| What a beautiful boy!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
All you can do is just be there. This wont lessen the pain of losing your pet, but it will help her ( and you). Moral support is the only remedy at a time like this. Give lots of kisses and hugs to them both. Im sorry. |
| Just continue to be a friend. Be there to listen, to hug, to talk, to be quiet, to walk with. Most important don't avoid her or the subject. Lots of hugs and positive thoughts headed your way.

| I am so sorry! The next few weeks will be rough, but it is important to keep you friend company. It meant so much to me when my girlfriends all came over the day when Bart had to be PTS. We all cried and laughed at the stories we all had of him. It really helped me heal and I still look back at the day and wonder what I would have done without my girlfriends!
My thoughts are with you. |
| I'm so sorry for your friend, all you can do is be there for her. |
| When my Aunt found out that her dog and my faithful friend Louie, a Lab and Border Collie Mix was sick I was there for her the best I could be. They decided to operate on his cancer to try to give him more time. He came through the surgery but died while he was still recovering at the vets. My Uncle had just been to visit him and told him how much he loved him and he just wanted what was best for his pal Louie. Louie passed away shortly after my Uncle left. My Aunt & Uncle never had kids so Louie was like a kid to them. I couldn't be there because I had moved to California. But I called and tried to comfort them. I brought up all the funny times we had had with Louie. I know both my Aunt & Uncle were feeling quite a bit better after I got off the phone with them.
Emotional support is the best support you can offer... I am very sorry to hear about Sam. It is so awful when they go so young. Elissa |
