Ernie's Mum Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Ernie left me on 15 Feb 2017. I cannot believe that he has died. I miss him so much that I am in physical pain. He is a Westie and we were together every minute for 10.5 years. He had spunk but also a gentleness that touched my soul. His eyes were amazing and his little face used to look into mine with his trusting cheeky grin. He loved the beach but would only go up to his knees in the waves. He practically spoke. I used to say "wanna go your bye bye nighs?" He would then come grab my hand and with a swish of his Westie butt would skid round the corner to the bedroom and put both paws up on the bed ready to be lifted up. He kissed me every morning and every night his deep sigh as he settled in gave me a smile. He was brave, loveable, charismatic and tons of fun. There was nothing I would not do for him. Last 18 months his breathing got too fast sometimes so we were at the Vets a lot. They said he had an enlarged heart but also his bronchial tubes were speckled. Cortisone was the common dose every now and then when his breathing was too fast. He had episodes of that. Rest of the time he was great. Then one Saturday I came home and his gums were pale and he wasn't very sparky. Back to Vets. More injections and tabs. I had been researching constantly over all that time to try to get the knowledge to question Vets ... and tests and anyway I guess we all do that. Leaves me cold how the following Wednesday a healthy happy dog was taken to the Vet for a check up.. all good they said... and later that day he deteriorated and died in my arms at 7pm. (5 vet visits that day couldn't help him) Vale Ernie "your eyes lit up my soul your waggy tail was my signal your love made me so whole that nose that only you had nuzzling my neck the adventures we had were so big and at night your sigh meant my day was so complete You are still and always will be my little boy so........

Loving my Oldies Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Deepest sympathies, Ernie’s Mum. . Such a difficult, bereft and sad time for you. Ernie sounded like a real character: one who was loved and loved equally. These doggies of ours leave such an enormous hole in our hearts when it is their time to go. Take care 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
