Featuring Deuce from one of our viewers. Deuce passed away recently and his pet parent asked to share his story. Please comment and support her in her grieving process so we can all share support with each other. Here is Deuce' story:
My beautiful soul dog Deuce, I had him for 10 years.. he was my very first dog that I owned and deeply bonded with. He was so beautiful inside and out. Funny, playful, energetic, he always greeted me with his toy in his mouth prancing around the dining room table when I got home, he was my best we did everything together, where I went Deuce went period. He loved his dog bed & sometimes as he was laying n his bed I'd walk past n I'd just glance over and it's like he knew he'd raise his head and our eyes locked such a beautiful connection that I was blessed to be the person he connected and bonded with. Her truly was my soul dog. My everything, when I had my daughter he was amazing , never jealous, not a mean bone n his body, my baby did well with change , he was who I talked to , vented to , my best friend , I never felt alone with him , when I'd talk to him he'd tilt his head to the side and then to the other side and he would set there full alert n listen like he understood ever word. I always said God made Deuce especially for me. He was everything I ever wanted . I was truly blessed to experience his love and companionship, he got me thru my darkest days. And thru his I never left his side even tho it was awful , he didn't deserve to go like he did, my baby had kidney failure due to lymes disease I never knew he had. He showed no symptoms till January of this year he started losing a lot of weight , I thought, he was having a hard time going up the stairs n things were off w him . As soon as I had the money I called n made the vet appointment. The vets tried everything to save him, he had two opinions put him n the hospital for 4 days to see if they could raise his red blood cells count he was also anemic which had no idea :*( I felt like I let him down , if only I could of gotten him to the vet sooner would his chances be better?? Guilt setting in bad. They also gave him meds for Lyme disease and had to give him IV fluids he was dehydrated, this all happened so fast and his other option was put him to sleep n I wasn't hearing that . My parents helped me w the money and put him in the hospital. I called everyday n they said he was doing better eating n drinking , but his red blood count wasn't what they'd hope , I got the worst news of my life the vet said honey I did this to give u more time . But how much I'm not sure could be a couple days, weeks longest 2 months. Instantly I lost it , my heart sank, my baby boy is dying , his decline was fast after I brought him home. They showed me how to do his IV fluids, the first couple days were my last best days w him . He laid in bed beside me which he didn't really do , he slept in his bed right beside my bed , I knew he was telling me goodbye , just didn't want to believe it, the day of his passing I started his IV fluids and he's already had 2 seizures and I knew his body was shutting down, as I was holding him getting his fluids n him he started moving and wouldn't set still , I knew what was gonna happen those were the signs before he'd have a seizure , he went into his last final seizure , it was awful I called the vet asap n told her my dog is seizing ,he's dying, I'm not going to let my baby suffer , i know the decision i have to mske can I bring him in now? She was supportive n so nice , absolutely she said. As we were n the waiting room Deuce wasn't real alert , then he went into another one I was balling my eyes out my parents stood around me n him so ppl n the waiting room didn't see n they came out n got him, finally after 30 mins they got it under control.went into the room and they brought my baby to me laid him down on the table , my heart was shattered , I kissed him and told him how much he was loved , mommy will never forget u and I'll always love u and ur memory will live on thru me. He wasn't responding to my voice ..nothing.. he had that empty stare, it was time, and that was the worst and hardest decision I ever made by my life, when the nurse came in to do the medicine I told him I was sorry I let him down n I wished I'd got him to the doctor sooner. But I fought like hell for my soul dog. That day 2-19-24 was the day my heart and my world shattered , instant emptiness, I watched him take his last breath kissed him one last time n he was gone , that day he took a part of me w him that I'll never get back. Our bond was so deep n true our souls will always be connected . My Deucey crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈🐕💔 and my life hasn't been the same. I'm not the same. I miss him more then anything. I miss our walks , going and getting him a pup cup of ice cream, took him last summer on vacation, didn't know it'd be his last. He loved car rides , playing w his favorite toy that is still under my bed where he last hid it. Mommy will always love u and remember you. I pray he running free . No more pain n sickness . I hope ur the one greets me when it's my time Deucey . I wish I would of had more time with you.!! I'll love forever and ever🌈💔😭

Losing a pet to death is among the tragedies of life. Even though we know most pets do not live as long as we will, it’s hard to think of life without them. Pictured above is our own Sparky, spending time with his lifemate, Princess, who passed away and is lying in wait, in her little Paw Pod pet casket. It’s equally important to allow living pets left behind, to grieve as long as they must. We have found it is helpful to allow them time to actually see their deceased friend, for an evening or even a day if possible. They need to understand and process. In Sparky’s case, he kept crying and looking for Princess, in confusion. So we allowed him to see her for periods of time over a couple of days, until he seemed to calm down and accept love from us. This isn’t weird. You see dogs lying next to caskets or graves of people. I often wonder that if they had the chance to actually see their friend, they might better “get it”. Don’t be afraid to bring your pet home, first before being cremated if you have other pets who loved him or her. Help them on their healing journeys, too, so they don’t die of a broken heart.
We have lost a lot of pets of our own and have this Page as a place to share stories, grief support, or just be there. There are times you can’t take it. People are saying all the wrong things, such as, “He was just a dog.” or “I don’t understand why you’re so upset.” Statements like these can make a person feel even more isolated and alone. We are not here to sell you anything to earn a bunch of money; however, we like this e-book that is kindly written from a woman who lost her dog and provides comfort. We recommend this highly if you just need a helping hand at night, when you’re alone, when there is no one to talk to or you feel stuck in your grief. It’s $17 but we cannot give it for free because we have to pay for it, too. But we promise it will be the best seventeen bucks you’ll spend on yourself. So here is the information on this, and feel free to share your story on our page. We’d love to hear from you.
