You will be fed up of me and my woes.

Bad night, abusive text in night from elder daughter.

Awake for hours because of on going tummy problem.

Woke at seven and my beloved West Highland Terrier , Honeysuckle Rose, is lying right next to my bed, she is dead .

I am not ready for the vet to take her away yet so am lying here talking to her as I do every morning.

I am devastated but it's the price we pay

Annie

Annie - I'm so sorry for all your woes. We will never get fed up of listening to you. (((hugs)))

flowers - so much all at once. The ladies of Gransnet will be thinking of you.

Oh Annie, I am so sorry that you have had such a bad time last night. The loss of your little dog is heartbreaking. Keep talking to her, cuddle her, then let the vet know. Our vet was super kind when we lost our cairn. Love and hugs to you .

Oh Annie, we will all just be so sad for you, no one will be fed up.

You are certainly being tested at the moment. I’m so sorry about all your troubles. Wishing you support and strength. flowers

Oh Annie I don't know what else to say except that I am so,so sorry for you . sad

I never get fed up with you (or your woes) x

Oh Annie what a dreadful shock. I am so so sorry.
I can sort of know how you feel, our last greyhound but one ran in from the garden early one morning, ran to her bed and gave a sort of squeak. As I turned round I could see she was sitting down but her front paws just slid to the floor, a couple of pants and she was gone.
I would like to think she knew I was there, but the shock is still so clear in my memory, 10 years on.
Your little dog will have been warm and comfortable curled up next to the human she loved best and just didn’t wake up. Dreadful for you, but what a peaceful way to go.
I often thought that with various dogs and watched them as they slept, as they got old or were in pain that it would be kindest if they just didn’t wake up. Kindest to them, but oh poor poor you.
The abusive text is something you absolutely didn’t need either and without being nosey, might the tummy pain be connected with stress?

Your house will feel very empty and there is no consolation except that your little dog’s passing brought her no pain or suffering. ?[ flowers]

Thinking of you, annie flowers

What a bad night for you Annie flowers. Yes, it's the price we pay for having loving pets and always so hard when they go.

As for your daughter's text - for future can you not silence your mobile at night so at least you don't see it until morning. I know it's tempting to look at the phone overnight, if you're half expecting something.

Oh Annie how awful for you. I lost one of my little dogs not long ago so I know how you feel. As Maw said she was curled up with the person she loved when she passed away.
What a peaceful way to go. My thoughts are with you flowers

Alima Fri 20-Oct-17 09:39:58

So sorry Annie, thinking of you.

Such a hard time for you - know that all GNs are thinking of you flowers

So sorry to hear your news Annie, what a shock and especially after a disturbed and troubling night.
It sounds like a peaceful end for your lovely dog. flowers

annsixty Fri 20-Oct-17 10:33:11

We are never too fed up to offer our sympathy and kind thoughts.

How awful for you! flowers

Lona Fri 20-Oct-17 10:45:52

Annie So sorry, what a sad thing to happen, but at least your little dog was close to you.
As for the unwelcome text, I'd turn the sound off at night.

grannyactivist Fri 20-Oct-17 10:47:18

oh Annie - so sorry for your loss and the difficult time you're enduring. flowers

merlotgran Fri 20-Oct-17 10:50:24

So sorry about your dog, Annie but I hope you can be comforted by the fact she died peacefully and as close to you as possible.

One of our Jack Russells lived to be 17 and I found her in the garden lying in the sun under her favourite tree. Once the shock had worn off I was glad she had had a natural end and not a visit to the vet as so often happens.

Don't think for a minute anyone on here would be fed up with your woes. We all have them.

Cherrytree59 Fri 20-Oct-17 11:29:31

Oh Annie I'm so sad for you.sad
But please take comfort in that you gave Honeysuckle Rose a lovely life and a lovely way to pass out of this world.

What a beautiful name for a lovely friend and companion

You don't have to apologise. You are loved by many on here.

Scribbles Fri 20-Oct-17 11:35:18

So sorry to read of your dog's passing. These little furry animals bring us such pleasure and companionship and it's hard when they go. Commiserations and hugs to you.

annodomini Fri 20-Oct-17 11:45:33

So sorry to hear your news. You must be desperately sad and there will be a Westie-shaped gap in your life. They are such clever, affectionate little dogs. Don't apologise for telling us how you feel. Anyone here who has had much loved pets will empathise. ((((hugs))))
