We lost 3 year old Rudi on Sept 27, 2019. I don't know how we missed a wound on his neck, until it was too late. He went septic, and died in less than 24 hours. The guilt and horror I feel is overwhelming. He had a big personality, happy, goofy, always in my lap, and hogging the bed. I looking forward to our future. Getting a coat from meadowcat. He just turned 3. He had cupcakes, and wore a party hat. He got a new rubber football, and teeny sqeeker gator.
We have had many dogs, but he was the best. So unlike the GSDs we had. Not a barker, could entertain himself, didn't leave 50 lbs of dust bunnies. He loved both of us. The old lady dog keeps looking for him. He is missed by all.
Heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss. I think we all tend to beat ourselves up for every thing we can think we may have done different. I do feel your pain.
How awful. So very sorry for you family and the pain and guilt you are feeling. You didn't miss anything on purpose, so please try to be kind to yourself in your grief. You sound like you gave him a wonderful and happy 3 years.
Thank you everyone for your kind messages. Rudi is greatly missed. Before Rudi, we always had GSDs, they where good dogs, but having a Dobie was the best. He fit into our family perfectly. Someday we want to find another pup. Maybe in spring.
