Last Wednesday, my handsome boy Shiro had to cross the rainbow bridge, after a severe illness at the criminally low age of 5. I want to honor his memory by showing how loving and playful he was. Please, if you'd like, please also share your babies, I could use the precious faces of these babies.
9 month old cavalier that we picked up yesterday. He is very sweet, but seems beyond terrified. He slept most of the way home, and seemed to be warming up a bit in the car. But he hasn’t moved even an inch since he’s been in the house. We put him in his bed and he hasn’t moved from that spot. We have food and water out, but he hasn’t touched it. We slept on the couch last night in the living room with him but he peed his bed, and stayed in it until we woke up and found him soiled. Even when we bring him outside, he just flops to the ground and refuses to move
I’m just not sure what next steps should be. We are giving him space to come to us, but ive just never encountered a dog this anxious.
(*REPOST - Thanks to everyone who said something on the original, made me tear up :’) Added some more pictures for Grace Face here)
Hey everybody, I don’t often participate in this subreddit (mainly just upvoting everybody’s pups) but I thought I’d just leave a little photo dump of our first cavalier here to help me process through it.
Gracie would’ve been 10 in December, and this somewhat sudden loss has scrambled my family since Tuesday. She had been struggling with heart failure, as lots of cavaliers do, and we had taken her to the vet to help her out. Unfortunately, she was taken to the ER and gone into respiratory arrest when her poor heart couldn’t handle it. We had the option to put her through CPR but decided against it because we know how hard she was already struggling.
Overall, I just wish we had gotten to see her in her final moments but I’m grateful she’s at peace now and pain free. Additionally, the fact that we have both her daughters here as well, has helped tremendously at least.
Thanks everybody, hug ur pups today for me, and to those who have lost one as well, I bet they’re all able to sleep and play together up there while they wait for the rest of us :’)
