Sadie and Zeus

My nephew Matthew is a huge dog person and has the best behaved dogs. He had Zeus, an 11 year old german shepard, and Sadie who was a 4 year old great dane. Knowing Zeus would be crossing the bridge soon, he drove from MA to MI several weeks ago to pick up Brutus, a GSD puppy. A week after that Sadie became ill, when he took her to the vet it was determined that she had septicemia and she died in the office. Yesterday Zeus could not stand. Matthew called the vet and he, his wife and their 3 boys spent some goodbye time with him, loving him and taking some final pictures. Zeus seemingly knew it was his time and walked to the car without assistance. Matt thought it was a good sign but took him in anyway so the vet could look him over, sadly his eyes were yellow and they had to put him down. The whole family is kind of in shock, they lost 2 dogs within weeks.

Oh I'm so sorry...
Maybe you could direct Matthew to read some of the Rainbow Bridge poems.... there are some very sad, but comforting ones out there.
Holly, that's awful! I can't even imagine the heartache they must feel.
:( How very heartbreaking. :(

I cannot imagine losing both babies in such a short time. My deepest sympathy to your nephew and his family. :cry: :cry:
I am so sorry for his loss. 2 dogs in such a short time. My thoughts are with you.
Please extend our sympahy to your nephew. I can't even imagine what he and his family are going through. :(
I'm soooo sorry for their loss, but it does get better with time. I'm sure the puppy will help ease the pain some. Nothing like being in the middle of a good cry and having a little one come up and lay its head flat on your lap and lift its eyes up to look at you. Puts a smile on your face every time. :wink: Or, looking up and catching the little one carting your new shoes under the table to chew up. Distracting you for at least few moments from your sorrow as you retrieve the shoe. :roll:
I am so sorry. :(
I am so sorry for your nephew and his family. Please extend my condolences. Losing one is hard enough, but you know what to expect when the dog is old. Losing a second one is torture, especially when they're so young. My heart goes out to them.
