Doggies, Doggos and Doggeroos!

Fred died quietly in my arms last night in his sleep.
I'd like to offer my condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss. Like Gary, and I'm sure many others, I fell in love with that little guy also. Fred just seemed so special in so many ways, and it was obvious even in pictures. Your love for him was also so clear to us here. Fred was very lucky to have you, just as you were lucky to have him. Thanks for sharing Fred with us and I know I will never forget him.

P.S. I "liked" your post, not because I like what happened, but as an acknowledgement of your difficult task of informing us and the pain you are feeling.
 
Thank you all so much. I’m so happy that Fred was able to bring some joy here and there when you came into this thread. He was one of a kind and nothing will ever change that.

Fred had lost most of his vision and balance over the last few months, but I had his blood work done before summer and everything looked normal. He didn’t eat dinner last night, which is very unusual for him. I had a gut instinct this was going to be it.

Around 11pm I told my mom I couldn’t stay up and help her with my Nephew (1 month old Aiden) and that I needed to be with Fred because I had a strong feeling this was going to his last night. I wrapped his favorite plush blanket around us and held him close to my chest. I rubbed his head as I cried and told him how much I love him and how he had brought joy to even my darkest days. I thanked him for being my best friend and told him it’s okay if he has to go.

I fell asleep around 2am holding him in my arms. I woke up at 7am with his head on my chest. He was gone.
 
Thank you all. Sincerely. It means a lot seeing how many of you loved Fred. He was an extra special little man.

It’s gonna be a while before I adopt again. I thought about it and weighed my options. I’m pretty sad and if I adopt now the doggo might sense it and think I don’t love him or that he did something wrong. So I’m gonna wait until I heal up a little. Fred’s gravestone will arrive next month. I’m gonna have a little vigil for him with the family.

I’m happy this thread is here so I can see some furry faces in the mean time!
