Chopper Passed Away Today

[billpl]

It happen all of a sudden, one minute he was his usual self, then the next he was gone that quick. It seemed like a dream, a very bad dream.
It started out when I walked into my house as I came home from work, chopper was laying on my living room floor, my mother-in-law was standing over him. It appeared chopper lost control of his bails as he was heading into the kitchen to get a drink of water. When he lost control he then got as far as the living room and collapsed. He was gasping for air his tongue and gums were white.
Right-away I picked up the phone and dialed the vet, I told them that I was bringing him over and explained his condition. I picked him up and he was just about dead in my arms, he couldn't hold his head or any part of his body. I put him in the car, as me my daughter and son kept an eye on him.
But, by the time I got to the Vet chopper had passed away in the car. The doctor did an exam and found he bleed internally from a growth that had ruptured and caused the internal bleeding. I stood their in disbelief and could not believe it as I just gazed at him lying their on the table dead. Just hours ago he was his old self doing his usual things eating drinking, snacks and the next he was gone.
He was the best friend I had, the one I will never forget.

(He was only 8 years old, he would have be 9 January 2009)

Bill, I am so sorry for your loss :(. I pray that he did not suffer. I lost my boy Harley to a brain tumor last December. It also went VERY fast. He would have been 9 in Feb 2009. I know how you feel, 8yrs is just not enough :( Romp and play in peace at the Bridge Chopper

I am so sorry for the loss of your Chopper.
The same thing happened to my Quincy in June. He was 3 1/2.
Collapsed one night, the next morning he died in my arms waiting for the vet to open.
He also had a tumor on his lung that burst and bled out.
When it is so unexpected, it is extremely tough to come to terms with.
I truly know what you are going through right now as anyone who has lost their baby would.
It does get easier, but it takes time.
Please know that I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult period. God bless you Chopper.
You are running free at the bridge now with all of our babies that have left us way too early.

So sorry for your loss. Run free at the bridge Chopper and give my Tess and Therapy a big sloppy boxer kiss for me.

I know that nothing I can say will heal the pain in your heart. I'm so sorry that you lost Chopper, especially in such an abrupt, unexpected way.

I have no doubt that Chopper is at the bridge, still watching over you and all of your family, but he's healthy and happy again.

Take care,
Sandy

I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved Chopper. It is so hard to lose someone you love so unexpectedly. I understand the dream the very bad dream, I lived the same one last Nov when I lost my Crystal . There are no words that can fix the heartache you are feeling, but in time, may your wonderful memories of Chopper help to ease your pain. Please extend my sympathies to your family.

Run free at the bridge sweet Chopper .
