Vicki,
I know I sent my condolences already,right after I heard about Scoop.
I did not know that Buddy would be joining him so quickly. I am so sorry that you heart is broken. Sending you a lifetime of love, compassion and understanding. Scoop was blessed to have you in his life. Mass hugs,
Vicki,
I am so sorry to hear about Scoop. You loved him so much and you were there for him. I hope you are doing ok. If you need to talk, I'm here for you.

Thank you so much everyone. My heart just aches. I never thought we would lose Scoop like we did. I'm not sure if even the doctor knows for sure. I will probably be talking to her on Friday. It is Scoop's IMS. I have so many questions. I will probably never know the answers to them. Just briefly, a couple of weeks ago Scoop had pneumonia. Spent 3 days in the hospital. Chest x-ray looked good but white blood cell count still very high. Did a blood culture. Showed he had methecillan-resistant staph pseudo-intermedius. (not sure of spelling without looking it up). He was on antibiotics for pneumonia and infection. Over the weekend he started to have trouble breathing again. Back in the hospital early Sunday morning. Emergency doctor said looked like pneumonia came back. Next day IMS said she thinks it might be the infection. She thinks that he might have had that the first time too. Monday the IMS said he had vestibular movement. I visited Scoop twice Monday. Seemed better than Sunday. The IMS said his white blood count had come down. Was 36,000 Sun 25,000 Mon. I thought that was good. She also said his red count was down. Which meant anemia.
The nurse took him from me about 6:20PM to feed him. I would have never thought I would receive a call around 11:10PM saying Scoop went into cardiac arrest and should they keep on going with the CPR. I said yes. She said they will only try for 10 more minutes. I was at the hospital in 10 minutes but they could not revive Scoop. They took me into a room where Scoop was lying on a table with a blanket around him. He was gone. It hurts so, so much. I'll talk more another time.
I love you my sweet Scoop. I miss you so much. It hurts.
Love from your Mom
Hi Vicki, I don't know what time it is for everyone, it's 11:15 and my retiring time. I'm at our last computer before I put it to standby for the night. So sorry about Scoop, you know he would want you to remember the happy times too. Our Lulu passed away with probably cardiac arrest, and it had happened Monday and we revived her, but she needed assistance to walk the week and she had an attack that Friday, and we let her go. She had an enlarged heart, and 'old dog lungs' as the vet called it. She too had a good long life, living to be 12 1/2, almost the exact same age of Scoop. It's been almost five months for us, and we have our rescue dog, Stanley, and I have a picture of him in my latest album.
You know I believe we will be reunited not only with our loved ones when we leave, but also our pets. Seems like it will be a busy reunion, but I wanted to share a post I put up a couple months ago here. And you take it for what it's worth. And there is a couple of sequels to this event too, but it kind of re-affirms my belief in a Supreme being, at least for me. So take care Vicki and know that your Raleigh will be depending on you to comfort him too!

Sorry I have been out of town and am just learning the sad and sudden news. You did so much for dear Scoop I can't believe everything that has happened. Know you did everything right and precious Scoop is now free from all the pain. Know he'll be forever honored here along with our own loved ones. Once a member here - always a member. Sending love, Kim
Oh Vicki!!!
I am crying right along with you. Losing Scoop so suddenly is just unimaginable. I am so sorry.
Just logged on to read about Scoop. Hang in there. I know it's so hard-we miss our fur babies so much.
Oh Vicki,
I am so glad you came to tell us what happened. I can only imagine how hard that was for you to do. My heart goes out to you, you tried everything you possibly could for Scopp. He could not have asked for a better mom. There are no words I can possibly say to take way your pain. You are family here and we all share in your grief and mourn Scoop.
Dang Vicki, it is just so darn sad.
Oh Vicki, what a horrible ordeal Scoop and you went through. You know he tried very hard and you tried very hard. I think that sometimes the body just can't fight everything any longer. He had been through so much in the last year. He was a valiant fighter to the very end. I really believe that.
I know that you hurt so much and miss Scoop something awful. I wish that we could take your pain away and just divide it amongst ourselves. We are so many and would readily shoulder the pain if we could to help you out. To help everyone who has gone through this horrible time.
hugs sweetie,
Sharlene
Vicki:
I am heartbroken along with you. I cannot stop thinking of you both. What a terrible thing for you and Scoop to go thru. God Bless you and help your heart to heal. I cry every day for you and Scoop and Kathy's Buddy. Blessings
Patti
