I lost the love of my life tonight…
I wish I had something noble to say, but all I can do is cry….

I know how it is to lose your loved one and this understanding still does not give you what you most need right now. The only thing I can say is that the pain DOES ease a little at a time and you will be able to see your beloved with clearer eyes. It’s been over 2 years since Mija passed, but I still get choked up talking about her.
If you need an ear, I’ll be around.
We’ll be thinking about you.

My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. You never know how much you’ll grieve when it is time for your Dobe to leave, or just how much your heart will ache from that one little fragment that he takes. Even though you are apart, Jingo will always hold a piece of your heart. May your memories substain you and time ease the pain of your loss.

For you and yours, Tori:
You go from us into a new beginning.
We rejoice for you
and wish for you an easy journey out into the light.
The wind will speak to us of you.
The water will mention your name.
Snow and rain and fog, first light and last light
All will remind us that you had a certain way of being
that was dear to us.
You go back to the land you came from and on beyond.
We will watch for you
from time to time.
from Native Tongue, Suzette Elgin

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Jingo’s death has completely caught us off guard and we are having a very difficult time dealing with it as a family. Last week we had noticed that Jingo was getting weak and we took him from vet to vet until we found out what was wrong. It turned out he had been infected with multiple strains of Leptospirosis. While he had been vaccinated, it apparently didn’t cover him. Once we determined what was wrong we got him on the correct antibiotic and he bounced back wonderfully. He perked up, was his old self, and I thought we were over his health scare. On Friday we had to make a trip to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, because I had recently received some very concerning news about my son’s kidneys. We left Jingo at home as we would normally do, but unfortunately it appears he drank over a gallon of water shortly after we left and bloated. We didn’t get back until the evening and he was going into shock by time we got home. We rushed him to the ER vet and we did a series of tests, x-ray’s, ultrasound and was determined his prognosis was grim. At that point we were forced with the decision to have him PTS. It was one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to face, because I felt like I was giving up on my best friend. But I try to remind myself that it was allowing Jingo a dignified death and I could tell by the look in his eyes he was ready to go. I think the only reason he hung on as long is he did was to allow us an opportunity to say goodbye.
Coming home to Jingo bloated after dealing with some scary news about my son; has left us all in emotional shambles. I still can’t even mention Jingo’s name without bursting into tears. He was always been there for me, faithfully at my side during all of life’s challenges; and with him dying the night I needed him the most was unbearable. Waking up the morning after all of this I thought, wow what a horrible dream…. and then being forced to face reality that it wasn’t a dream.
I spent the weekend putting together all of his UDC ads, professional photos, and my photos of him to hang on our wall along with his collar. I feel like he is a once in a life time dog and feel blessed that I had 7 great years with him…
