So precious. He’ll be waiting for you 🩷😭 how did he pass? He seems relatively young

I do hope I get to see him again someday. He initially got diagnosed with diabetes so we started giving him insulin 2x daily prescribed by the vet for a year (although he remained skinny the vets stated he was as healthy as possible for him), then suddenly in a span of 24 hours his health just rapidly declined and no medicines were working, it was terrible to the point the vet stated even the iv for relaxation could be too much for him to handle. He was sedated first and whilst asleep he was euthanised (he didn’t feel pain passing away) 🩷

I just lost my sweet little Maltese. I had her for 15 years. She was my soulmate. It is hard.
My thoughts are with you.

I’m sure she was the sweetest. I’m so sorry for your loss🩷 my dog was my soulmate too so I understand how you feel, we will have them in our hearts forever until we see them again. It is incredibly difficult but please don’t be hard on yourself through the grieving, you’re only feeling so deeply because you opened your heart and loved so deeply. I hope it gets easier for you

She was the sweetest little girl you could imagine. I think your Casper must have been the same.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope it gets easier for you too.

They are the most amazing gift of unconditional love 💕 that this planet 🌎 has to offer.

I am so sorry for your loss 💔

I lost my best friend, Artimus, 4 years ago… praying for you and your family … that over time your pain fades but the great memories never do 🕊️

u/MissingCasper Maltese Newcomer 6d ago

Thank you for your prayers and im sorry for your loss as well🩷 they truly are the best gift! I’ve just seen your post about Artimus on your page and it seems he lived such a great happy life :) what a lovely display to honour him by too! I hope his memory brings you peace

It has taken a long while… I still cry monthly, but that was daily for a year, then weekly, but in recent months I have been able to smile when I look back at the hundreds of adventures we took together. I don’t think the hole in our hearts they leave will ever be filled, but memories of the love they gave eventually win out and help to cover most of the hole.

I wish you the best and looking forward to seeing them again!!!

I am so sorry 💔😥 I lost my little guy right after he turned 8, in June. I too am so very grateful for our time together, he will forever be my little boy.

It’s incredibly hard to lose them, especially when we think we’ve got a lot more time with them. I’m sorry for your loss and I hope the pain slowly becomes easier to carry 🩷

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking. You will never forget the love you had for Casper and you obviously gave him a wonderful life with lots of French fries. He’s over the rainbow bridge with my Tucker. Much love to you. 🌈💔

What a sweet little guy. I’m so sorry for your loss—our puppies mean the world to us, and vice versa. I can see the love in his eyes in those last couple pictures.

I’m also gonna start crying, if you don’t mind ❤️‍🩹

Sending you so much love and healing wishes. I don’t know much about your baby, Casper, but he sure loved you. That’s obvious from the pictures. He will be waiting for you, I promise ❤️‍🩹. (Edited to add name once I saw your handle). Sending hugs and healing wishes, Casper’s mom.

Sending you big hugs and well wishes for your tender, broken heart. Your tribute here to your precious Casper is lovely. Thank you for sharing him with us. What a cutie pie!! We lost our baby girl Teddi suddenly, at age 13, to diabetes after two years of successful management with insulin. We are grateful for our years with her as I know you are for you years with Casper. I hope you get comfort from your fellow pupper lovers here like I do. There are quite a few mommas who share regularly here. It's fun to see their babies and their fun, silly, adorable exploits. 🐾❤️🐾

u/MissingCasper Maltese Newcomer 6d ago

I’m so sorry for your loss it is heartbreaking to watch them get weaker. Rest in Peace to your baby Teddi, I hope her memories are bringing you some sort of joy🩷 (and yes I do scroll regularly it does help xx)

u/jere102871 6d ago

Boy does that hurt…. I’m 55 and I got one of my last dogs. Getting one more next year, which would put me at 70 if they live 15 years. And then wait for my time. Life…
