My reactive girl died yesterday

@cynthiak I’m sorry. She didn’t get sick or suffer. I’d say she had a great life and an ideal end.

@cynthiak I’m so so sorry for your loss sending you all my best wishes at this very difficult time.

@cynthiak I am so sorry for your loss. Every dog has some challenges, but reactive dogs seem to have the biggest ones. We work so hard to overcome the challenges together. Know you did not fail her. That distinction belongs to her previous owners. You SAVED her and loved her. That makes all the difference.

@cynthiak A short lifespan is a dog’s only fault.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
It sounds like your sweet girl had a great partner since you came into her life and I’m sure you’ll always remember her fondly.

@cynthiak I'm so so so so sorry for your loss. We blame ourselves and feel like we failed our dogs whenever they suffer. I think its normal and just means we love them a lot.
Take your time to grieve but know you loved her and gave her a good life.

@cynthiak So so sorry for your loss. They give everything to us and ask for nothing in return, except our hearts . Then they take them with them as they leave! But it’s so worth it. Wishing you healing in the coming days.

@cynthiak Your sentiments are beautiful and your loss profound. She did not feel you failed her. She loved you and for all the right reasons.

@cynthiak Awww I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a fur baby is so hard! She’ll be chasing rabbits and getting up to no good wherever she is now

@cynthiak Oh my goodness, hon, your sad words have me crying in empathy because I know how absolutely heartbreaking it is to lose our best doggie friends. I’m so sorry that you’re going through the pain of losing her. It will get easier but it will take time. I think the most important thing to remember is that she absolutely 100% knew how much you loved and adored her and she loved and adored you even more, which sounds impossible but that’s how our sweet friends are. No one feels and expresses love more than our dog companions. I wish you peace with all my heart. xo

 

[cynthiak]

@sassy40 Thank you so much for the eloquent words. I appreciate your kindness!

@cynthiak i'm sorry for your loss. i lost my reactive boy over a year ago and i still get weepy when i think about it. they are special dogs and i think having to deal with the reactivity makes you closer to them. absolutely destroys you when they leave. thank you for being a strong enough person to care for a reactive dog. it takes a lot and not everyone can do it. we wound up adopting another dog that was surrendered twice because he was leash reactive and he's the best.

 

[cynthiak]

@gnosis1234 Thank you so much; my heart also goes out to you on the loss of your reactive fella. I agree that the next dog I adopt will also be another “lost soul”. I loved my reactive girl with all my heart, and I’m sure she knew it.

@cynthiak My heart goes out to you and your family. I know you will carry her with you in your heart forever.

@cynthiak Your love created the very best life for *your best friend* ... I am so very sorry. Please take good care of yourself - that's what your wild girl would want. May the Force be with you - I know it's with Her.

@cynthiak My reactive girl died june of last year, I hear you and I’m still there with you in how badly it hurts

 

[cynthiak]

@imagebeastmarkbeast I’m also very sorry for your loss. They will always be with us in our hearts and memories.

 

[mbml]

@cynthiak May I ask what happened to her? Heart attack or wild animal attack?

 

[cynthiak]

@mbml We don’t know. She was barking at the wild animal but she was inside the fence so they didn’t make contact. She just stopped barking and fell over onto her side. That was it.
