Gypsy Rose passed away this morning. She was a 3 year old Lab/doberman mix dog. I went to give her breakfast and started to worry when she didn't respond to me calling her. I was heartbroken when I saw her. Please don't judge me because I am not taking her to the vet to formally find out why or how she died. I just wanted to bury her right away and start my grieving. The two of us have been through a lot together. At 8 weeks old, she lost the sight in her right eye due to our other dog attacking her over food. She never let the fact that she only had one eye stop her. She was always playing with me, her ball and other dogs in the neighborhood. I will miss her dearly and I hope she knows how much I love her.
Rest in peace my sweet angel. I will see you again.
She died so young & had such a tough time - but thankfully she was loved. If this was sudden could it have been poison?
I'm so sorry for your loss - a few minutes ago i was beside myself, thinking of my own loss this year & sometimes it just hits you. The only thing that eases the pain is talking to the fids or hugging another pet/human or in my case, immersing myself in my art.
It wasn't poison. We live in a wooded area, so I am thinking she might have gotten into a fight with another animal or either bitten by a rattlesnake.
Thank you everyone for you thoughts and well wishes. This is a difficult thing to go through. She just celebrated her 3rd birthday not to long ago. I am still in shock over losing her. I keep wondering what I could have done to protect her more.
