There's no other way to say it--it's a very sad day here. Unexpectedly, I had to put Cosmo the crazy dog to sleep last night. When I got home from work, he was fine. Within an hour, he was having difficulty standing and I knew he needed some help. By the time he got to the emergency veterinary hospital, his condition had worsened. His prognosis, even with major medical intervention, wasn't good and I made the very difficult decision. He has been able to overcome so many things in his 14 years, but this was too much for his body to handle. I was able to be with him when he went peacefully. You were much loved and will be missed terribly, Cosmo!Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Sad . . .

ReplyDeleteLori....I am so very sad for your loss. Anyone who has ever had a pet knows what a difficult day this is for you. A few years back, I put down our beloved Shelby...she and my children grew up together. It was probably one of the most difficult things I ever had done....and one of the saddest days I've had. Please know my thoughts are with you.....but also know that your wonderful Cosmo is now at peace and watching over you.
ReplyDeleteWhat sad news Lori. My thoughts are with you.

ReplyDeleteOh Lori...I am so, so sorry. I know exactly what you're feeling. I know how much that crazy dog meant to you and the pain you're in. Let me know if you want to chat. It helped when I talked about Bandit after he died...it made me laugh to remember his quirky things. {hugs}

ReplyDeleteOh, Lori! My heart goes out to you! I am so saddened to hear of your loss...words just don't work at a time like this! {{hugs}}, thoughts and prayers! If there's anything I can do....Deb
ReplyDeleteLori, as one who has been through many of the same struggles with my dogs, I empathized with your ups and downs with that crazy boy and now I feel so badly about his death, and especially the suddenness of it all. Sending hugs....
ReplyDeleteLori - I am at a loss for words. I am so sorry for your loss. We grew to love Cosmo and his spunky personality through your stories and pictures. Know that Reenee and I are thinking of you and are here if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteLori I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteWe have lost 2 of our special ones in the last year to cancer, so I understand your pain.
These incrediable creatures lent to us by God have an incrediable way of getting into our Hearts where noone else can get. An uncanny ability to know when we need them and their unconditional Love. Just as our Father in Heaven would do. I feel that they are Angels sent to us to help us be better, because we can learn alot from them!
Hugs to you and your Family.
Lori - so sorry to hear about Cosmo. He'll always be with you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your beloved Cosmo. From your posts one could tell how much you loved him. Sending hugs and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteoh Lori, I'm so sorry! I know how painful it is to lose a pet, but it's good that you were able to help him go in a humane way. I'm glad you were with him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful boy. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds as if you gave him a great family to love and be loved by.
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteRemember that Cosmo waits at the end of the Rainbow Bridge for you to join him. He will be healthy and so happy to see you when that time comes.
Time helps some, but you will always have your memories.
So sorry for your loss.

So sorry about Cosmo-this happened just 10 days before we put our cat Chica down. She had been wasting away for months not able to keep her food down. It was so hard but we knew it for the best. I am happy about you celebrating Chloe's first birthday. How cute is she?! Ps wish I had known about this when we met last year we totally could have comforted one another!
