That was such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl, she was very special.

I feel your pain, I to am dreading the day, hope you can take solace in the fact that she knew how much you loved her.

Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your stunning big boy, such a loss

That is so devastating, we went through the exact same thing with our 8 month old GSD, only we had his parents scores & they were very good. Sometime I think nature just takes over, but it is heartbreaking to watch them.

How very sad for you & your family.

Well done on a MAMMOTH job. Cocker Spaniel - WARDOWN

It doesn't matter how old they IT DOES STILL HURT. Thinking of you.

How very heartbreaking for you Danios, Rest in peace BIG FELLOW, Thinking of you

How heartbreaking for you Warley, Im sure Lucy is showing him around.

What a beautiful poem for a beautiful girl, RIP Tyra

Update, She HAS been to the vet, but they won't operate because of her age, she is on antibiotics, so I am a bit relieved.

Went to clip one of my regulars yesterday, a 15 year old small x breed female. When I clipped off around her fanny I found it was dripping pus, quite a lot of it too. The owner doesn't have the money to take her to the vet, which made me a bit cross, I would have offered myself but I have JUST finished paying off a $800 vet bill so I am broke as well. She is not desexed so my first thought was pyometra, does anyone else have any ideas.

Here I was thinking that was ALL 8 week old puppies do lol

You really are a very special person Harminee

Thankyou VERY much Harminee & PPS for making Lucy's "creation" so wonderful.

Have sent you a email, thankyou so very much.

Thankyou to all of you that shared in our terrible loss of our sweet girl, your thoughts are appreciated.

I am adding a pic so evryone can see what a lovely sweet girl she is

I think Lucy's determination & her zest for life endeared her to everyone who ever met her. She will be in our hearts forever

Yes Warley, it was our little Lucy from QLD, Basil & Pagan's sister. Nid & I are absolutely devastated Xavier, Lucy was 8 months old, and she was sick

Thanks guys, It sure is harder when they are young

It is with the heaviest heart that I tell you our lovely little Lucy crossed the bridge this morning & has gone to play at the rainbow bridge. You were only with us for a short time, but what a time you had, strutting your stuff in the ring & home here in the backyard, always waggy tail. Your lovely nature was amazing to watch as you welcomed the pups & Fever into the yard, we could always count on you to be the welcoming commitee. And the last few days although you sure pushed the boundries with the inside dogs, you soon had wound them around your little paw, even to the point of sleeping curled up with me under the doona on THEIR bed, but then how could anyone resist that sweet little face that we loved so much. We really are going to miss you sweet girl, have fun playing with all the other baby cockers at the bridge.

It has been a long time since I have had a pup on it own, (usually keep 2 from a litter :D ) but maybe I am too soft, I would have them in a crate beside the bed, that way if they cry you can just reach down & reassure the pup. Worst comes to worst I would have the pup on the bed with me, they are only babies, I couldn't let it cry all night in a room by it self, beside I need my sleep, if baby is happy so am I, But that's just me.

That's my ??? too penwing, guess we aren't going to get an answer, it's probally none of our business, but when OP say's we were insinuating all sorts of things, it would be nice to be set straight.

I agree I wouldn't leave the dog there overnight if there was noone there, they are far better off home with you. I have never had a bitch stay in overnight from desexing & both of the bitches I last had done were not young, they came home & slept, where I could keep an eye on them.
