I was out over the weekend moving things into our home and introducing Jack to his new romping grounds.

Last I checked Zane was looking great. Crying or Very sad

All my love and your in our prayers. We'll definitely be here to help you take things one day at a time

I just read the pages and pages of posts that chronicled Zane's ordeal, and I am sitting here drenched in tears. I want you and your family to know that we are deeply saddened and are holding you and Wyatt close to our hearts. Zane's spirit and love will surround you --you WILL feel his presence and know he is always with you.

Sending love and aloha,
Sandi, Nalu and Pea

reflection on Zane the dog, the friend, the companion, the sparkle in our eyes, the one who always was there for you no matter what the day was like...

Zane has been gone exactly 5 days today. 5 days to long, 5 days of hell, 5 days of sadness that seems to honestly be worse then the first day. I can sit and write on this board, read the post, smile, and even laugh at some of the writtings. I can love my Wyatt, kiss him, hug him, talk to him, and play till there is no more time in the day. But what hurts is not writting in the now about Zane and Wyatt together, not looking at the dog that we brought home in the truck in my lap, not being able to have that puppy who's life expectancy was supposed to be 11-15 years, I miss him...part of me knows that we did all we could, God only knows that dog took sickness better then either Bill or I. He braved the shots, he braved the blood transfusion, the poking for the blood draws, the meds that took over his body and even the seziure that he endured his last hours of life. All of that and he still looked at us with love and compassion that he had from day one of bringing him home, in that last 5 minutes before putting him down. I simply miss him, I want him home.

You wonderful humans on this board once again have still brought a glimpse of happiness to each of our days here. Today just happens to be a really, really crappy day. Just being able to write on here, and tell a few hundred people how I feel inside helps. I know there will be a post of someones heart felt words that will come back to me, there will be words of wisdom, and words of we have been there also, we know how you feel, we are there with you... You Weim addicts will simply state to me, that Zane was not "just a dog"....Both Bill and I know things will get better in days to come, but right here today...it really, really freaking sucks.

If we haven't said it enough....Thank you...thank you for being here for us.

Shannon

OH i'm so sorry you're feeling sad. Zane knows he's so loved. You know he doesn't want you be sad, you did all you could. I really really am so sorry.

I have lost many animals in my life but never have i ever felt the amount of pain and sadness i have been feeling for someone else`s dog since you lost Zane. I have though of you and Bill all weekend and got tears in my eyes every-time. This is just not fair i know....but he was so happy with you and you with him and please try to find a glimpse of joy or light in such a difficult day.
WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

OMG. We've just come back from 2+ weeks of holidays and so we were away through all of this.

Shannon, I'm so sorry for your loss and that you are going through this horrible ordeal. Zane was far too young to leave you but you were a fabulous mama to him and I know he was very happy to be your baby.

My heart is broken for you. Sad

Shannon, my heart just aches for you and Bill right now. I cry every time I come back to this thread.

Zane can never be replaced and he knows now how much we all love him, but maybe you could just start looking at all the dogs in your area who need homes in your area. Even if you aren't ready just yet, it may take your mind off the pain for awhile.

Zane is watching over all of you..and we love you all. Heart

I'm sorry you are having such a hard day. This thread brings me to tears.
Even though we miss our Simon so much, I like to believe that in some weird way he knew that Gunther was out there and needed us more.

Try to focus on the happy times and not the trauma of the ordeal that you all went through. I know its easier said than done.

Heart

You're in my prayers.

You guys continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I know that the saying goes "only time will heal" but I also know that when you love something as much as we love these dogs, time stands still once they are gone. I hope that as the days go by this becomes more bearable. I get tears in my eyes when I read this post, and I always make sure I give Wilson an extra hug. We are thinking of you.

Shannon, I feel so bad for you...when I read that you miss writing about Zane in the present and that you simply want him home, I know... I KNOW.
But, I also know that one day you will be with Zane again--yes a long time off we hope, but together again.
And I also know that we are here for you... whenever

That boy was loved THE WORLD OVER. And his little light will continue to shine in your hearts... and ours.

Yes Shannon I had a similar experience with a 6 mos old Basset Hound puppy. He became very sick, couldn't keep anything down, lethargic.
Took him to the vet, they ran many, many, many tests. He remain there for several day, the vet was in constant contact with me. They called and said he had passed away. The vet wanted to do a autopsy to see "Why?" did he die. There was no charge for the procedure, and upon investigation found that he had ingested something caustic and the lining of his stomach was gone. The vet suspected anti-freeze, but where did he get it. He was always either in the house with me, or in the high fenced back yard. We would never know how he got into it? Did someone give it to him? Made us wonder......
I said to the vet, "Had I known that he would never come out of this, I would have put him down the first day I brought him in. He must have suffered unbelievably". I felt so bad for the pup. The vet said "Hind sight is always 20/20" But unfortunately we do have hindsight.
After that I didn't get another dog until now, some 20 years later! It was truly heart breaking for me.
So Shannon, we do what we can, we do our best, but sometimes in the end, we lose them anyway. My thought are with you and your family, tomorrow will be a better day.

Shannon I'm so sorry you're having a rough day .. I understand how you feel .. I lost My Mocha (non-weim) about 2 1/2 years ago .. It was the most horrible day of my life .. He was at the vet one minute, sent home to come back for xrays and blood work the next morning but he never survived thru the night .. Not sure to this day what happenned with Mocha, he was only favoring his back end, he was eating normal and pottying normal so we thought it was just a pulled muscle or he injured his back somehow, something of that sort .. Never would I have thought my night would've turned into the last night with Mocha .. I look back on it now as if it was meant to be as shortly after Mocha passed we found Jada in the shelter and adopted her .. I really wish I could take the pain away for you and in time it really will get better .. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers
