R.I.P. Charley :=(

Only tears can express how sad I am.

He was hit by a car yesterday evening. I felt him up and he didn't feel or act like he had any broken bones. He was even standing on 4 feet when he came up in the yard. But I looked at his gums, which were too white. After goggling, i found it meant or could mean that he had internal bleeding.

I don't have the money to pay for a 1k or more vet bill for surgery. And i know sometimes they can recover from things. Animals, I mean.

I brought him inside last night. Put him in the bottom half of a dog house. I had sheets and stuff in it so he would be comfortable. He didn't act like he was in pain, just very lethargic.

He drank a little water at 1st but then wouldn't take any. I went to sleep around 12am on the couch with him next to it in his crate. I even made eye contact with him right before I fell asleep and he was still alive. I wish I would have stayed up to hold him when he passed.

I woke up at 4am from a very bad dream. You know how you can have a bad dream and be really upset about it yet its of something that wouldn't freak you out that much in real life? Thats the kind of dream it was. I thought about getting something to drink and almost didn't. When I got up I looked at him and I knew....

He was such a good dog. So loving. SO SO SO SO SO loving and sweet. He would have grown into a big ol lapdog. He was born in my bedroom.I was there through the whole process when his mother, brixy gave birth.

I buried him this morning.

There is no way I could tell this whole story to anyone without crying like a baby and I don't wanna do that in front of people so I'm telling y'all. You can't see me cry.

I wish I could tell him how sorry I am for letting this happen

First stop with this kind of thinking, you loved and cherished him and he knew it. I would like to think he was where he wanted to be when his time had come, next to you.

Wish there were something I could do to help ease the pain, so I'll send kind thoughts your way with the intent of a brotherly hug

Hun... I really feel for you. I lost my dog Banzai in the summer after he was hit by a car. Gave him antibiotics, cleaned his wounds etc Animals do recover from some extraordinary things but when they wy hit like that there is only so much you can do. Yes they seem ok one minute and they are gone the next.. Don't blame yourself though. You did what you could and yes you fell asleep but you were there for him. I'm so sorry for your loss I 'll howl for him tonight ok x

sad to hear and sorry for your loss. what a cute looking puppy

I feel your pain,,even though i didnt loose a dog to a car accident,I lost my cat a month ago,he was hit by a car and I had to make the gruesome discoverey on the side of the road after he disappeared for a day ,I loved the holy shit out of my cat chubs.Was very depressing,But it will pass and youll be glad you had them as a cherrished friend after all is done.

I'm sorry I know Charley was a part of your family and it's just like loosing your best friend. I feel the pain. We all do the best we can it's always easy to have 20/20 hind vision. I'm sure you did evry thing you could. match

Oh man, I am sorry. What a face. I shed a tear when I read this. Life has a strange way of teaching.

Damn, can't imagine having gone through that. I'm raising a pup right now from 8 weeks old (in my avater). At 16 weeks, we're both attached to each other already. There's nothing greater than watching your little friend grow up by your side and being through all the stages. I love dogs so much... You should raise another one.

RIP Charlie. There is a place in heaven for man's best friend. You'll see him again.

You are his life & energy now so never let him go. He'll always be with you as long as your love & good memories for him remain in your heart. He's obviously always been well provided for, from day one, in order to turn out such a loving being. I'm very sorry about the timing of how some things happen.
Charley looks very young & his eyes Define "PURE LOVE".

Positive thoughts & energy are with you & your awesome, loving, Beautiful dog....."Charley"

Agreed... and while it's easy to beat yourself up about what you "should have" done, know that life is a learning process and we are not always sure how to act. You did your best. Instead of focusing on what you did wrong, I encourage you to see that Charley was your teacher, and that you are better for having known him, even through what you perceive as errors in judgement on your part.

Charley is like the older sibling your potential later dogs didn't get to know... he might not have taught them how to pee with one leg up, but he is teaching you things that will act as nurturing forces upon any future relationship with another dog. Or, heck, with anyone.

He is a blessing. Cherish the gift his presence has brought to your life. Charley loves you dearly. Crying need not be a sad act. Bring the joy that Charley brought to your life to those tears you shed for him now.
