Members jchristian1958 Posted April 18, 2015 Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi, My name is Joyce. I live in Massachusetts. Today, April 18, 2015 I lost my best friend in the whole world, my Lhasa Apso, Charlie. I had Charlie since he was a pup from the pet store. It was the best gift I ever got from my husband. He would have been 15 years old on October 29th of this year. I miss him so much right now! I can't stop crying. I feel like this is never going to stop. I can't imagine my life without my Charlie. It all started about a month ago when I felt a small lump in his neck. It wasn't attached, so I thought it was just a cyst. Even the vet a couple of weeks ago wasn't concerned. I woke up one morning and the whole side of his face was sooooo swollen. He did have bad teeth and had six removed two weeks ago. Again, he had the cyst then. Since he got off the antibiotics from the abscess and teeth removal, the cyst blew up like a damn balloon. I took him to the vet last night and we're talking about surgery from $1300-$1500 (which we, me and my husband didn't have). They then did a fine needle aspiration and found it was a mast cell tumor. I was devastated. This morning, I took him back and we're talking about putting him down. The worst thing I think I ever had to discuss. Now, he's gone. Gone, gone, gone! I miss him so much right now. It's NEVER going to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orbis Posted April 20, 2015 Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Im so sorry Joyce. I too lost my darling Duke on April 18 to cancer. I am devastated and can't stop crying. I feel a vast and heavy pressure from the middle of my very being, and I would give anything to hold my darling Duke one more time. You are not alone in your grief. Be strong, Charlie lives on in your heart and soon you will emerge from the pain and feel instead the comfort of his presence in your heart.

Members Lucy'sDad Posted April 27, 2015 Members Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Joyce, You're not alone. I lost my Lucy a couple days ago. I can't even remember a time before her and I sure as Hell don't want to think of the future without her. I don't cry; I just don't, but I haven't been able to stop and I feel like it will NEVER stop. She was my best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
