R.I.P my beautiful boy

Love and loss
On the 12th of August, we lost our beautiful boy Darcy. It was so sudden, completely unexpected, and utterly heartbreaking for us all. At just seven years old, we assumed we had many happy years ahead with him. Sadly, that wasn't the case - after emergency surgery for a mass on his liver, we found he had inoperable cancer. He was the most beautiful, gentle soul, and so very special to us.

oh no Kerri - i am so so sorry to hear you've lost your gorgeous boy :( there is really nothing as heartbreaking as loosing your dog. Thinking of you! I hope darcy is up in doggie heaven running a muck with my old golden retriever! x
ReplyDeleteSo sad. My friends had to put her beloved pet down this weekend. They are just devastated too. xx
ReplyDeleteOh Kerri, I feel your pain....there is nothing like having a "special" pet to greet you at each day's beginning.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry to hear this Kerri, I am sure he was a big part of your life. Hugs to you and yours. deb
ReplyDeleteI just want to cry! I am sooo so sorry! We have been there way too many times and it never, ever gets easy! I am now dealing with my Chumleys cancer. He is doing good now but you just never know!
ReplyDeletePlease know that he may be gone physically, but he will always be around you. I once went to a psychic and she told me all my animals are with me. And I believe her, although this house must be super crowded!
Prayers are with you and yours.
I know how awful the loss of a dog is. I am so sorry that you lost your beautiful boy so young.
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartbreaking as we have felt that loss before. You have wonderful memories and pictures of your dear boy at least. I am sorry for your family's loss! What a beautiful quote;thank you.

Kerri, I am so sad for you and your family. Around here, dogs are our life too. I know how you hurt, and that you will miss him always. Think of him as an angel sitting on your shoulder now, he will always be with you.
ReplyDeleteHow heartbreaking. I'm sorry for your loss. Darcy looks like a real cutie. Dogs bring so much happiness into our lives, it's hard to get over, I still miss mine and think of them fondly after so many years. Hope you are doing ok.

ReplyDeleteOh Kerri, I am SO SORRY to hear your terribly sad news. The loss of a pet is unbelieveably sad, something I think about too much as I'm scared to lose my girl. Your poor things, your beautiful boy was so young.

Oh my gosh.....I am so sorry. What a sweet precious little guy he is. May he rest peacefully and his memory stay alive in your heart forever and ever. Theres is no friend like a dog...that is to be sure.

ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you, your family and darling Darcy. Draw some strength from the fact that he must have been very happy to be in such a loving family. He is resting now - peacefully. I love all animals passionately.
ReplyDeleteAs Kant says" We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals"
