Zelda

[Quercus]

I am so, so, so sorry…..I still feel the pain of the death of our girl Luna. who died under similar circumstances. I hope that your heart will heal in time...

[imbj]

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know how painful it is right now but our hearts and thoughts are with you.

[basi]

Oh how awful for you, so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss of Zelda, i can't begin to imagine how you feel.

Oh, I'm so, so sorry. How tragic. 5 months old - that's just awful. I know how you feel. I had the same thing happen to our 5 year old malinois. she was happy, chasing the ball having fun during the day and that evening she barked and fell over dead. because she was a rescue and i didn't think it would help me or DH, we did not have a necropsy done, but i always thought it was her heart or brain. again, i'm so sorry you're going through this.

I am so very sorry. I cannot even imagine how awful it must be for you, to suddenly lose one so young and vital. Heart is the only thing I can think of that would be so quick, like the young human athletes that collapse with undiscovered heart problems. Huge hugs to you and your family, RIP Zelda.

I am so, so sorry to hear about Zelda..how absolutely heart breaking. My condolences to all of you.

[Kipawa]

What a sad, sad story. Please accept my condolences, and know that Zelda undoubtedly had a wonderful time with her family while living on this earth. She is still running happy and free.

Wow! So heartbreaking! I can only imagine to lose one so young, though it is difficult rergardless of age, We know that our friends are happy and healthy and having a good time waiting for us across the bridge! :)

The tests on Zelda's heart and brain all came back negative. There were no signs of disease, infection, parasite, congenital abnormality, tumor, anything. Really it seems to have been the equivalent of a freak accident. (There may be more things that got ruled out, but the written report is still in the mail. I'll add anything vital when it comes.)

Debbie (her breeder) has been marvelous and supportive.

We are back in Virginia now. This week felt like it lasted a really long time.

We are so sorry to hear about Zelda's passing so young - I agree with MacPack that the heart is most likely the reason. She will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge - memories of her being happy and playing will sustain you. It's really hard losing a pet, and we all sympathize with what you are going through.

[listeme]

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. We chose to bury her on Gloria's land, next to where Gloria's kind horse Com was buried. We are strangely comforted by having Com right there to look over her.

We sowed wildflower seeds right before we left for home. It's Maine, so who knows what will bloom :-).

[snorky998]

So sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts and prayers sent your way.
