new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

Oh no Iris. :( I am so very very sorry. I cannot even begin to take it in that Ian is gone. Do they know what happened that was so quick?

My sincerest condolences. Enya and you both must be missing him so much. It seems to awfully unfair. :(

big hugs

no, they didn't know whay was the cause of him feeling so miserable.
friday morning he was fine and he got worse in the afternoon.
the heat had made him weaker and the vetoryl didn't work for 100% anymore. he drank and peed a lot again.
maybe pancreatitis, but the vet said not. his liver numbers were through the roof, so the vet told me he had liver failure and couldn't digest his food anymore.
but after he died there was blood leaking out of him, so probably cancer too.
he was never really ill in his life only for the last few days.
but what worries me most now is his sister, she misses him terribly.
she is very upset, they were like siamese twins.

Oh poor Enya. It is so hard for the dogs left behind as they don't understand where their friend has gone to and keep looking for them.

Hopefully, even though I am sure your heart is breaking too, you can keep her at least a little distracted. Poor baby. My heart hurts for you both.

thank you sharlene, we are going for a walk a lot. she is finally asleep right now, but when i move a toe she is awake again, afraid i will leave her too.

Well that makes sense that she is concerned about being alone right now. It will be a slow adjustment. Both your worlds have just been turned upside down :(.

Oh Iris,

I am so very sorry for your loss of Ian, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,
Lori

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Ian.
Sonja

I am so sorry! I was able to bring Daisy home after she passed. Placed her in her bed so that the cats could see for themselves and I do think that it helped.

Enya, poor babe. As with humans, it's hardest on those left behind. Hugs

Dear Iris,

I cannot tell you how sorry I am about Ian. You absolutely did the right thing by releasing him, but I know that doesn't ease your own sorrow and loss.

My heart also goes out to Enya. In the blink of an eye, her world is changed forever, too.

I send you my warmest thoughts across these many miles. Please know your K9C family is always here, right by your side.

Always in loving memory of both your dear boys ~
Marianne

Poor Enya - it's so hard for them to understand when others leave and they can't tell us their fears. She must be so worried that you're going to leave too.
It takes so much love and courage to say goodbye.
Take care of each other and know we're thinking about you
