[R Taft]

Thank you guys....it is very tough at present But people have been so amazing and so caring. It all helps. Yussie was amazing, my dream to do great things. But most of all my lala cuddle dog........No dog ever cuddled like her....I will soooo miss her forever :heart:

 

[lovingmaggie]

This is the first time I have been on the bulletin board in quite a while. Seeing this caused my heart to hurt and my tears to fall. Ronnie, I am so sorry that your beloved Yussie has passed on. Too young, too sudden, too much pain. You are an amazing trainer and lover of dogs, and I am sad you won't have this little one with you now. May you heal gently and let all the other furkids wipe your tears. My sincere sympathy to you.....

 

[NinaA]

My sincere sympathy and sorrow.

 

[mrs big dogs]

I am so sorry, so young, just not fair

 

[R Taft]

No it wasn't fair and At times i feel very angry about it.....the worst part is they think she had a problem for a while, but being a stoic newfie, no one knew. She had pus all through her abdominal cavity and adhesions to her liver, how did she still train and play..........She only showed us she was not feeling well on the Wednesday and had the surgery on the Friday...hardly any temp, still walking into the vets smiling and waggin her tail, still intereaacting with us and the other dogs........We have to observe our newfies so closely. i wish they were all like Katy, one scratch from her own foot and she cries.....i knw when she is not well, hence I cuaght a very early bloat..........Not my tough little Yussie.........hug your babies tight and watch over them

 

[victoria1140]

Ronnie it was the same with Beau and his cancer.he had it in in his lungs and his liver was just one big tumour.the only signs were when he was sick on holiday and just not right.even the vets only thought he had a stomach bug.

If i hadnt insisted on taking him back everyday we wouldnt have known until he died.he had two out of the three weeks the specialists gave him and is still missed so much.
Our newfs dont like showing pain in any form.yet Max was a wuss with pain and yet it must have been horrid what he endured with his tumour and yet towards the end he just became sad which wasnt our munchkin.

Big hugs as loosing any of them is hard and l know its worse when they are so young.

I know how tough you did it too Victoria, your baby max was also way too young..gosh i miss all my newfies and dogs, but i had never lost a dog so young. I envy people with the 14 year olds, even a 16 year old newf lives near Melbourne.....Common sense says do not get another newfie...yeah right, I have never listened to common sense anyway..I could get a BC, even a large Golden for Water work, but..........

 

[victoria1140]

I can only dream of getting one past 5 atm. I love my newfs so will keep perservering plus would you be as happy with a bc or golden training them.theres something about a newf.

I can remember Beau doing an agility course once well he tried.he looked at the jumps then at me , decided l must be serious so he swatted the jumps so he just walked over them.did one big loop in the slaloms and the tunnel he just managed to squeeze through.it was hilarious but if he had enjoyed it we would have perservered.

 

[R Taft]

I have been blessed with two very fit 7.5 year olds, Lukey and Annabelle. Annabelle can still do a proper agility course at a fair speed and loves it.She always does really well at the GSD Agility Course.......Border Collies leave hr for dead of course. And Lukey is very sound....can Cart/draft for miles, pulls our heavy sea-kayak and loves it.........I have not done is as tough as you, just too sad for all the newfies/dogs that have passed this year

 

[NinaA]

You are so right about the stoicism. It's something to always watch. Moonlight had a horrible kidney/bladder/urinary tract infection and gave no indication until she began to dribble. When we finally caught it the end result was some kidney damage and permanent treatment. She's going on eleven and lives a very guarded life now.
