Thuesday the last of my two pets has passed away suddenly. In June i had to say goodbye to Spock, my 12 year old dog, but Sheev died suddenly and unexpectedly.

He became sick Monday, or at least i noticed he was sneesing. In the evening he hadn't touched his food so the next morning i made an appiointment to take him to the veteranarian yesterday morning. When i came home thuesday afternoon though he had already passed away. I found him lying on the living room floor.

Turns out the assistant had missed me mentioning Sheev had been sneesing, as they would have had me bring him in thuesday instead of yesterday. At least that is what i understood as they explained things to me on the phone. I admit a lot didn't register. My mind was already thinking about what and how to tell my son about it.

I buried him in the backyard yesterday together with my son, his fostercaretaker being kind enough to allow that and bring him over for a couple of hours. We buried him together and spent some time together crying. After we went through some pics and vids with Sheev in them together. This one made us smile the most:



My son was picked up to go back 'home' and since then i tried to keep my mind too busy to dwell on it. Did a lot of 'random' stuff on the interwebs, ending up writing a post for the Ares.

It worked keeping my mind on somehting but then i finished the post and my mind got wandering back. I realized i missed that crazy little fuzzball more than i wanted to admit. I didn't want to make a big deal about it and all but i felt i didn't want his passing to go without anyone knowing about it.

Somehow i didn't feel my facebook or other social media were apropriate (maybe that should tell me something about my social circles i guess) so i decided to put a little memorial post up here, the place i feel most comfortable and "safe" (i know sounds stupid, but there it is) in any of my social circles or contact with other people in general. I hope that is okay.

I miss Sheev, even the dead mice and ocasional bird he brought me, as some sort of gift i guess...
Sleep well Sheev.

Sorry for your loss. We had to say goodbye to my wife's cat of 15 years last year, and my own cat about 3 years ago, so your pain is pretty fresh for me too. Never an easy thing to lose a furry member of your family.

I am sorry for your loss. We have a pet memorial wall HERE should you wish to create a permanent memorial for your companion.

Thank you for the link to the memorial page. I've submitted both Spock and Sheev. Funny, sad or stupid, i don't know but knowing they're going to be up there does something. For the first time i actually sobbing like a little kid. It's... i don't know, but thanks. thank you very much.

It’s terrible to hear about your loss and I express my sincere sympathy to you and your family!

Farewell, cute little Sheev, may you be happy up there across the rainbow bridge!
