My princess baby boo

Our Baby boo passed away on 16th August. She was only 2 years old.
We got married on the 8th August and went on our honeymoon on the 12th August. Boo and her big brother Welly were both in kennels while we were on our honeymoon.

I found out that my princess had died the day after, as we were on a cruise ship and our families didnt no what to do when they got the news late on the 16th. I recieved the news on my birthday which is the 17th August. I am still in absolute shock and I cant believe i will never see my baby again. As soon as we found out we booked a flight back and managed to see her before she was cremated. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. We led with her and said the hardest goodbye we have ever had to say. It breaks my heart to know that my baby died without her mummy and daddy with her. I would have done anything to be with her. She was always such a happy bouncy beautiful girl.

She died of a very rare disease called Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis (HGE). She had a little diareah the day before she died which the kennels were monitoring. Then on the 16th she had a bit of diareah again. The owner of the kennels monitored her closely and she was bouncing around as usual at 11am. At 2.30pm the kennel owner found her on her side panting so immediately took her to the vets. My baby died 10 minutes after arriving there as her little heart stopped. I want my baby back so so much, We miss her every second of the day.

I hope my sweatheart didnt suffer, she should of had her mummy and daddy with her. I miss her so much and would do anything to have her back.

I am so sorry for your loss
I am at a loss for words for your greif.

I am so sorry you lost you baby.
She is with many of our members furkids haveing fun.

Nothing we say can make it easier but I am sorry.
Oh Natalie,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your heartbreak and ache come through so strongly in your post. Many of us have gone through the same loss, and we understand how you feel. We're here when you need a shoulder to lean upon.

Time will help you to heal. It won't ever take away all of your fondest memories, but it will make them sweeter, and make it a little easier each day.
I miss her so so much and i keep trying to imagine her playing around with all the other sheepdogs who have gone to heaven.
She was too young to die, she had so much more love to give and mischeif to get into.

What hurts so much is that i wasnt with my baby when she died.
Oh this is awful!

But please don't beat yourself up over this!! She could have died at home, while you were away shopping or at work.......or napping.

Two years is waaaay so short, but look at your wonderful memories of her. More years would have been great, but the little time you shared is to be treasured.

:ghug:
I am soooo sorry to hear of your loss.
So heartbreaking for you.
Words are not enough.
Thinking of you at this terrible time. :ghug:
How horrible. I am so sorry.
You may have not been with her physically when she died, but she will forever be in your heart. I'm very sorry for your loss.
This is so terrible. I am so sorry.
That is so sad :cry: . Your precious girl will always be with you, in your heart and in the memories that will make you smile when the pain lessens :ghug:
So very sorry for your loss. I know how devastating it is to have something happen to your baby when you are away. Our second sheepie passed away when we were on vacation. The pain is intense.

Special thoughts and prayers for you and your family. The pain does ease and the precious memories remain. :ghug:
I am so sorry...she knew you loved her.
:ghug: :ghug:
As said, please don't beat yourself up..
Gid speed little punkin :cry: :cry:
maybe she new and didin't want you to see her like that so sorry for your loss.
thats what my husband says. And I believe you may be right maybe she wanted us to remember her as she was bouncing around our house wagging her big tail against the door and not being poorly.

We have a baby gate on the kitchen door and I still dont no how but boo would open it and sneak in really quietly with her head down as if she was saying you cant see me!! She would get to the rug and pretend to be asleep!! She was such a charachter and made so much noise almost like she was talking to us. Our house is soo quiet without her as are other sheepie welly is more of a cuddles kisses and sleeping dog.
I am so very sorry for your loss. It is so heartbreaking!! No words are enough to ease your pain. But I assure you that the grief will subside and in its place will be the cherished memories of your lovely girl. I lost my beloved Sammy in May so I know what you are going through.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
That is so so sad she was just a baby. Dont be hard on yourself about not being with her. As you said she had been bouncing about, and a tummy upset is usually nothing to worry about. If you had been home with her, you may not have been in the same room or she could have been sitting in the garden and she would still have probably slipped away in the same way that she did. She wouldnt have known that she was actually crossing the Rainbow Bridge. I can only imagine how you are feeling, our Katy was 6 years old and she died at the vets. Hugs to you and all your family...xxxx
How heartbreaking. I'm so sorry this has happened.

Oh Natalie I am so sorry for the loss of your baby :cry: I know what your going through it is so hard and I feel your pain. Remember she is always watching over you and keep in your heart all the fun times you had together. She is now in a happy place running around like a nut like sheepies do .....

:ghug:
I would just like to thank you all for your lovely messages they have really helped me over the last couple of very difficult weeks.

I found it hard talking to people who hadnt experienced the love of an old enlish sheepdog about my feelings. When I wrote my message about Boo it helped to know that people understood how I was feeling and had experienced similar feelings.

I miss my Boo every day and think about her all the time. She was a one in a million and has left us so many happy memories. She was and always will be my princess. So Boo where ever you are baby, Mummy, Daddy and Welly love you loads and we all Miss you ever so much. This world isn't the same without you sweetheart.

Love you always and forever boo. :ghug:

xxxx
My deep condolences on your loss.
I miss you ever so much Boo its been over 4 months now since we lost you and we all think about you every day.

We talk about you all the time and smile about all the funny things you used to do .
It makes us smile when we remember how you used to sneak into the front room and lie on the rug and it was like you were pretending to be invisible!! On our many journeys out in the car Welly use to jump in to the car but you always wanted mummy or daddy to lift your back legs in to the car.

We put the christmas tree up recently and it made me think about how much you would have enjoyed investigating all the decorations!!

When we asked you to go for 'wee wees' Welly used to go straight out in the garden. you would look upto me tilt your head as if you were saying 'no mummy its far to cold out there...'

And the thing i always remember about you is how you used to put your paw up on everyones lap you loved people and loved to let them know you were there.

Welly misses you ever so much i have just given him a puppy cut today it reminded me of the last time i gave both of you a hair cut!! You were running around the room like a whirl wind!!! do you remember... Daddy got home and there was hair all over the front room and then you and welly appeared with half finished hair cuts. we had so much fun.

We miss you so so much Boo and try to imagine you playing with all the other sheepies!!
I met you in my dreams the other night and i was grooming your coat i would do anything to have you back sweetie.

lots of love always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am so sorry for your loss My thoughts are with you.
:ghug: :ghug:

I know what you are,I lost my dear ofelia in july,the day after my 66 birthday & even today I have my heart broken and she is my last think of the nigth,and my first think of the day,every every day
I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through. I recently lost my Susie to a similar condition and she was only six years old. Whenever you lose such a beloved companion so young it hurts like hell. It's one thing to miss someone, but it's so much more painful to feel somehow responsible. I think the important thing to try to do is remember the good times and don't let her memory be tainted by feeling badly about not being there. Every day we make decisions and do things that take us away from the ones we love (going to work, going on vacation, even going out for dinner). You never know which moment is going to be the last so just make sure they're all good.
I'm so sorry to hear about your pretty and too young Boo dying when you're on vacation. I do think they choose us "not to be there" as our Ellie got ill in the kennel the day after we left. Then we came home and she got more ill and died days later. Even if I was at home, she was at the vets when she died and she died alone in the middle of the night in a crate! That hurts, cause you want to be there with your baby! I understand you soo much!

Even for me it still hurts and it's now more than 2 years ago. you just never forget! :ghug: :hearts:

I send you a lot lot of Sheepie Hugs from us!!! :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left comments - I have really appreciated hearing from people about their own experiences.

It will be a year in August since Boo passed away. She was taken far too soon - she had so much more mischief to get into and we had so so much more love to give her.
We all miss her every single day. We thought about getting a puppy a few months ago to give our other OES a play mate again, but to be honest I cant bare the thought of getting so close to another sheepie when there is a chance it could be taken away from us so suddenly and cruelly.
There are some things in life that are just not fair! - Losing my Boo in the way we did is one of those times.

We miss you everyday Boo - You are always in our thoughts sweet heart - love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :ghug:
I'm sorry you're still hurting :ghug: . Somewhere out there is a sheepie for you and when you're ready it will find you.
