Rest In Peace, Hazel - Part II

Some Chihuahua dogs are hateful but you weren't hateful in the least.

You were a very special dog and it's painful because you're deceased.

Just one month ago today, you were still alive.

It's sad and heartbreaking because you didn't survive.

I didn't realize that you were sick until it was too late.

I lost a terrific dog and it's something I'll always hate.

I was hoping you'd survive long enough for me to take you to a vet.

But the animal hospitals were closed and it's something that I regret.

You were wonderful and it was painful to watch you die.

When a man loses a great dog, it's hard to say goodbye.

Your life came to an end in the evening on the ninth of December.

You were my Sweetie Pie and you're a pet who I'll always remember.

I can relate to your pain,

I can relate to your pain, sir. It's hard to accept that, though we do the best we can for animals that are dear to us, we can't always know the signs in time. For the things you could not help, the love that you gave to Hazel, I'm sure was ever present to her through even her sickness. I'm sure hers, for you, was, and it's clear, does carry on, as well. This is a beautiful, heart wrenching tribute. It seems to justice to the care involved.

 

All the best to you.

My heart goes out to you on

My heart goes out to you on the passing of Hazel.  Our chihuahua is in the final phase of her life, and we fear that any day she could succumb.

Forgive my jump in, but sorry

Forgive my jump in, but sorry to hear of your dog being ill, as well - may her resiliency continue.

Nothing to forgive, I am glad

Nothing to forgive, I am glad for your kind words, and yes she seems to have bounced back very well.  Her appetite is good, and she seems to be quite alert . . . when she isn't taking a snooze on her pile of blankets.
