Last night after work. I lost the most precious thing in my life… my little dog Pimley.
We new for a year she wasn’t going to live much longer due to Cancer but even though I knew the time was there, it still was a shock.
I came home from work and she was weak, couldn’t move and I could smell death on her breathe. She had been with my sister and dad all day. So I brushed her teeth for her and carried her to my bed to cuddle with me.
She stared at me with love in her eyes… I had a sick feeling in my gut this was going to be it. So I kept my arm wrapped around her while she breathed heavily, keeping track of her breathes.
I noticed she stopped following my movements with her eyes… shortly after, she just didn’t take another breath. I picked her up as fast as I could and ran her down stairs to my dad so she could see the person she loved most before her heart stopped.
I held her in my arms feeling her pulse while my dad held her head saying “its going to be okay, we love you, we’re going to miss you so much!”. She made a gag at my dad and her heart beat slowly disappeared.
I instantly lost my senses crying as I held her dead body…
My house hasn’t been the same.
She was the most loved thing in this house. She was the light of my family and the center of our universe.
Cancer took my best and closest friend. She was a sister to me. But we are happy, she died peacefully getting to be held by loved ones and looking into her favorite persons eyes as we sent her off.
She died naturally in the comfort of our arms.
The tears have not stopped, we have gotten no sleep. My life will not be the same for a long time.

December 17, 2014 at 4:19 pmI am sorry to hear that about your dog. I had three terriers and due to circumstances I had to move away from home for a while and during that time two of the remaining terriers died from old age related illnesses. I was very upset at the fact I never got to see them again, but well, some things are beyond our control. I can see that your own terrier was very beautiful and loving. The last photo is very telling, you can see what a big personality she had.

December 18, 2014 at 1:48 amThank you for your kind words. I am sad to hear you were unable to spend last moments with your little ones. I knew 1 year before that she didn’t have much longer to live, so I made sure to spend my last year with her being by her side. It has almost been 2 years since she left us and I still get teary eye’d when I think about her. She was indeed full of love and sooo much personality. I will never forget her.
