My Pup Ash. (***Warning, this is sad.***)

I just needed to share. Our dear, sweet boy was not eating, and we took him to the best veterinary hospital in New England. He was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma, a particulary nasty form of stomach cancer. He would not have recovered from an operation, and the type he had does not respond to meds. We had to let him go on Monday. We are heartbroken. I feel especially bad because DH has had Ash since he was 11 weeks old, and I feel like he is comforting me, when I should be supporting him too. Everyone tells me to not get too upset for the baby, and that just makes it worse. I know this is so hard for him. Ash was only 6 years old. (He's a Great Dane) Our family feels incomplete, and I'm so sad the baby will not get to grow up and play with Ash. He was definitely our most child friendly dog. Here is a picture of him and DH from before he got sick. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  I can't imagine how difficult it is to go through.  I am very attached to my dog and just last night had a nightmare about losing him. 

    At least you know that your dog was well loved and happy until the end.  Again I am so sorry.

  • I am so sorry you had to go through this. It looks like Ash had a great life with you and your husband.

  • I am so sorry! It is ok to be sad. I cried like a baby for a week when we had to put down our dog a while ago. She also had cancer that we could not treat in a way where she would have not suffered greatly. I'm so sorry.

  • I am so sorry. I don't even want to imagine what that is like. I think it is probably better in the long run for you and baby if you let it all out and grieve now.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss and I don't think there is anything anyone can say to make you feel better. You have every right to be sad and to mourn your loss even though you are pregnant.

    I lost my first dog to cancer almost 4 years ago. He had cancer twice in a four-year period. My husband and I got him when he was 6 weeks old and he was our first dog together. We had 11 wonderful years with him, but I still miss him. We now have three dogs!

    Ash knew that you loved him and you gave him the best life a dog could have. Dogs are with us for such a short time and they show us every day how to enjoy life.

  • I am so sorry! We just had to put my beautiful boy down approx. 2 months ago and it still pains me. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. I, too, had to make the decision to let him go and be there for him as he has always been for me. He was 9 and I had him since he was 6 months. It saddens me that the girls will not get to know what a wonderful soul he was.  The vet told me that he should not have been up and loving on me as he was....that is just how he always was---putting me first.

    I am truly sorry for your loss
