Today my beautiful girl lost her life and frankly I can't wait to join her, thats how bad I miss her. I don't know how I am going to go on and wish I would die in my sleep. Greta was being watched by a friend of mine with my three other dogs because I was in the middle of a move. My dogs were out and about with his dogs and had been together and getting along fine for the five days they were there. On the the sixth and last day. The day we were to pick the dogs up Greta and one of my friends bulldogs got in a fight which left Greta pretty badly beaten up. My friend called and told me what had happened. He asked me if I wanted him to take Greta to the vet. I asked him how bad the injury was and he said just a couple of scrapes,
so I honestly thought that was all. I picked her up around 5:45 that evening. She was pretty badly cut up, but didn't seem to bad. I thought I would just watch her through the night and take her to the vet if she still wasn't better. She actually got worse over the course of a few hours. I rushed her to an emergency vet, to come to find out that from one of the bites she got septic and her kidneys were failing.
The vet told me that they would give her an Iv and three different antibiotics but that really it was a 50/50 chance of making it. She died today at 9:20 am. I will never forgive myself for not taking her to the vet sooner, or better yet insisting on my friend taking her right then and there. It would have saved her life, but instead my stupidity killed her. I am so upset!!! I will never be the same. She was the BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD AND NOW SHE IS GONE!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GRETA FOR ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM SO SORRY GRETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mommy Loves You!!!!! XOXOXOXOX

Please don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes but ultimately, I hope that when our time is up it's up no matter what and I hope that applies to our beloved pets too. I lost my Nikki Feb 25th and still cry every day for her. She was a small Yorkie who had gained alot of weight after she had her kids and got spayed. Sometimes when she got excited, she would pant and make a funny sound. We all thought it was because of her weight and we kept tryng to make her lose weight. Our neighbor came to visit and her grandson ran up to the gate and got Nikki all excited and she started doing that panting. I chased the little bot away but he went back again. My hubby took Nikki out for a walk and then brought her in the house. She was doing the funny panting. She stood up at the wire gate and I thought she was begging so I scolded her to get down and she did, My neighbor left and I went in and did not like the sound of her breathing so I rushed her to the Vet but by the time we go there her throat had swollen and her temp was 107. They think she overheated from excitement. She fought for breath all the way to the vet and it was horrible. They even di da tracheaotomy on her but we lost her. Of course I wonder if I should have taken her to the vet earlier if I might have saved her. I talked to a lady who is a pet medium and she contacted Nikki and said I could not have saved her. You might not believe in mediums but I so want to believe this lady. She told me Nikki is happy and playing with another tiny dog. On my page ther is a picture of Toco and we lost him due to an enlarged heart. He and Nik were best friends. The lady did not know about Toco. So I feel Nikki is happy and since we lost her, Precious, her pup, has taken on all of her Mommy's traits. I will always miss my Nikki but I have to try to stop grieving so hard as the lady says that makes Nikki feel bad. So please forgive yourself. Your Sweet Greta is still with you in spirit and if you watch and listen she will give you a sign. If you want to hear my story about how one of our dogs came back to my husband shortly after we had to put him to sleep, let me know. I won't include it here cause this is too long already but I'd be happy to share.

My heart goes out to you--I know your grief,

My heart goes out to you honey, but it's not your fault for not knowing it was as bad as it was. My Pontiki died of kidney failure and I had no idea, he was fine when I left that morning and when I came home he was gone because of that. I have beat myself up over it, if I had noticed something different about him if I could have helped him but he seemed fine and then he was gone. It's not your fault you did everything you could have done for him, if they could tell you what is wrong life would turn out a whole lot different, don't blame yourself, he might have went to the Bridge but he is with friends now and in no pain, and he doesn't blame you for anything. He knows you took good care of him and tried your best. I know this probably doesn't help but I hope it does a little bit.
