Goodbye Kimber....

[Drache]

It's with great regret that I report that my puppy Kimber passed away. I put her out in the yard an hour before and when I went to check on her, she was gone. Looks like her heart gave out. She was 5 months old as of today.

It wasnt a poison or anything she ate. No foaming of the mouth, no vomitting, no signs of a struggle, and her eyes weren't rolled back, still looking straight ahead. She passed instantly and fell onto her side.

Only 5 months old?

Drache, Sorry to hear about this.  I remember the cute picture you posted of her a few months ago.

I am so sorry, I know what it is like to loose a family member like that.
I have had to put several pets down over the years and I have cried like a baby. I think it is harder than loosing a human family member in some cases.
God speed Kimber.

I just called mine over and hugged him.  GSD's are such good dogs.

Hugs!

I'm so sorry to hear that man!! My sincere condolences

[Birdflu]

Sad! She was beautiful!

Sad news. It always hurts to lose a pet.
Not too long ago, someone that I know had a Border Collie that was barely a year old. The dog was great until it started slowing down, getting lazy and then just wouldn't do much. The vet checked him out and found that the poor dog had some heart problem. I don't know the rest of the story on that but maybe the same thing happened to Kimber?

[Lennard]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Hugs!

Get the hell out of the way, dog, somebody else needs a hug

 I wonder if She/He died of parvo ? Sorry for your loss.  It sucks BAD

She was up on all her shots. Vet figured it was either a stroke or an aneurysm due to being in perfect health and dying on her feet.

I know this does not help, but my 10k Horse died at only 15. (average life is 30-35)...... Unless it was owned but the Amish. They go through Horses like tires. Sad.

One of my horses died about 4 years back. Same sort of circumstances, just walking along and fell over dead.

Even though we know it happens but it is never pleasant.  My sister's dog died in the car on the way to the vet - one moment running along into trees and stuff  (not too bright a dog) and the an hour later all floppy and pale with pale gums.  I remember my dad saying this animal is dying.  We loaded it into the car and it died on the passenger seat. 

With death of anything we can take the memory and hang on to it.  Maybe adopt it as something we liked moving forward.  That is one way to deal with it, but comforting because we carry the good things with us.

The fiance and I made a box to hold our puppy's ashes. Inside is her favorite pillow case, her two favorite toys, her leash from when we first got her and her dog tag. The inside of the lid will be signed by those that knew her and loved her. This will be buried deep in the Garden where she used to love to play.

The Vet will also be giving us a paw print on Canvas that we will be putting with a picture, her last collar, and one of her baby teeth that fell out last week.

Damn man! so sorry to hear about your dog.

[Drache]

Some close friends got us these. The stone we will place where we found her. The pendants are made to hold some of her ashes and have her name inscribed onto the back.

[Kern Dog]

These pets of ours get into our hearts and really take hold of us. 

[NHCharger]

Very sorry to hear this.

Sorry for your loss. I have had a few great dogs in my life it hurts when they leave us.

[69rtse4spd]

So sorry to hear this, they are family

[Bayareacharger]

Sorry for your loss. German shepherds are the greatest family dog ever.
