Hi everyone,
Thank you so much to everyone who posted on Nemo's rainbow bridge it really meant allot to me. I'm still finding it really hard not having him around. Has anyone else ever lost a puppy so young? Nemo was 15 weeks and I'm still in shock, he was with me one second and the next he was gone. I still find myself welling up whenever I see another little dog, I guess working with dogs on a daily basis doesn't make things any easier. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone one, Mini-meg Thank you for your support and Sullysmum and have been god send to me through this hard time but I have already thanked her twice lol I hope she doesn't mind a 3rd. If I could turn back time I would give anything to have another hour with little Nemo. Anyway better not type anymore I feel the tears coming again.

Sarah

Oh I am so sorry, I didn't know. You poor thing, I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Big hugs being sent your way and lots of love and thoughts. Rest in peace little Nemo. :-(

All the nuts girls are thinking of you, it was a tragedy, i was in shock myself and shed a few tears.
Nemo was so special what a wonderful little dog, God always takes the angels first.
Try to be strong, Nemo will not be forgotten living alwasy in our hearts x

Hi Sarah i'm ever so sorry to hear your awful news i had a bullmastiff and she died under sedation and it was so horrible she was eighteen months old and i thought that was young.  Thinking of you Susan

I really feel for you.  We lost our boy Harley 3 days after his 2nd birthday.  I truly understand how you feel - I'm still coming to terms with our loss.  Look after yourself

Hi........ i had a puppy because it was being beaten.... and when i got her she was 12 weeks old, she had a blood shot eye where she had been kicked in the face by her previous owner.

I had sheba 12 weeks, which made her 24 weeks old when she died..... she had parvo, and i still cry about her now..... i felt so guilty because she had such a nasty life in the beginning, and then my german shep x bounced on her and broke her leg.... 4 weeks later when she died she was still wearing her plaster.

But atleast i got her out of that life that she had..... and thats what kept me going.

I know it's hard, and you'll never forget your baby...... but look at it this way, she spent her days that she had with you.

Take care
Thinking of you

I have lost a day old puppy who had to be PTS as he was not formed right & I have lost dogs at the other end of the age range my mongrel died aged 19 the same age as my cat

It is no easier if they are older & I still think of that tiny puppy & weep buckets over my Brett dog, who I lost last year. The loss doesn't get any easier to live with no matter how I try to remember the good times, but their love I know is always with me, given without expectation of anything in return.

Hi Sarah, its fine you thanked me, im just sorry i cant do anything to help.I wanted to contact you again just to see how you are but i didnt want to intrude just incase i made it worse by asking again, remember where i am and dont be afraid to call if needed, let me know if you find any feathers in your home, as ive just heard it can mean you have been visited by a guardian angel and im sure yours will be Little Nemo,xx.

Hi Sarah,
   My thoughts are with you, Ii lost my labrador Sam, 23 yrs ago, he was only 2 yrs old. I had wanted a dog since I was little, and he was my first dog. I was 29 when I got him. I have never cried about anything so much in my life.
   Iit took me a very long time to get over him, he was so special .  I didn`t want to replace him either. Its taken me all this time, and now we have our new puppy Daisy.
   We`ve only had her for 5 days, and she has completely won us over.

we are all thinking of you.i have no words to say its all to awful.
these  things do happen for a reason,that WILL not be apparent yet,but in years to come when you look back you will see what good this tragedy has lead too.
love michelle

& when you think you hear him in the house...it IS him,hes just checking you are ok

Just saw this. Im so sorry. Nemo will be around checking on you, our Morse will keep popping in to us. You gave him a good life, he basked in your love and none of us know how long we have with our pets, we just have to make the most of each day. A biography is not judged by the number of pages. Thinking of you.

to everyone who hasn't already heard I contated Nemo's breeder about what happened she was very sympathetic and said that she was rebreeding Nemo's parents later in the year because the litter had been so sucessfull, btw his brother and sister were normal size Alfie 3 1/2 lbs and Bonita approaching 4lbs at 15 weeks. She offered me a puppy from the litter saying it wouldn't replace Nemo but at least I would have a brother or sister to him.

Sarah

oh that will be lovely!

I did the same when I lost my beautiful Jeffrey just before Christmas.  The new puppy was born on new years day (an omen?).  I now have Rodney who will never ever replace Jeffrey but is a distant relation.  I am sure Jeffrey would approve of him.  As someone on here said to me "It is the best compliment you can give to the one that you lost, getting another from the same breeder".  Am so very sorry to hear about Nemo.

hi sarah just glad to off been able to help,glad your feeling a little better.it must be hard for you but atleast you have us for support.i bet your looking forward to getting nemos brother or sister?i know it will never replace him but itl make you feel better! hope to see you on nuts sometime!
take care.

Getting a new puppy will help. I have always wanted dogs but our work commitments meant we couldnt have one. last year my husband received a pay rise which meant i could work part time and we decided to have the dog i always wanted. We found an ad for beagle pups and telephoned the 'private' number to make an appointment to see them. When we got to this place we were greeted by a litter of beautiful clean pups. They were with their 'mother'. I picked the naughtiest one and we returned a week later to collect him. We brought him home and within a week he died. The poor might was very ill with parvo and spent 3 days fighting for his life in the animal hospital. The pain was unbearable, I thought i would never stop crying. My husband bought me another pup and it certainly helps. I'm not sure if it is because i dont have so much time to sit and ponder, But i dont feel so lost. I wish you all the best wishes in the world and i am thinking of you at this sad time. Tracey xx

I hand reared one of my dalmatian pups day and night for 3 weeks he did really well and we were going to keep him then unexpectadly he died.  I was absolutely heartbroken as we had decided we were going to keep him.  I cried for weeks afterwards. The pain does get less slowly.
