ByeLilTurbo Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I lost my little Turbo this morning and I am inconsolable. He was my little 8 year old black rescued miniature poodle that loved every minute of life. Early yesterday morning I awoke to the sound of my wife screaming for him to come to her. Then, the sound of his voice, howling in agony as the much larger mixed breed that someone was walking bit down on him and crushed his little 9 lb. body. He lost his battle for life at 0758 this morning. Everything that could be done for him was done. No expense was spared. However it only bought him 26 hours more. How special was he?? The Vet at the excellent emergency treatment center we took him to teared up as he passed away this morning. She apologized. God bless her. There will never be another Turbo.

CJ Anderson Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I am SO sorry to hear of your great loss, is there any way that you can make your self focus on the gift of the live you shared with this wonderful beauty? It doesnt seem to matter how many beloved dogs I have had, no matter how they pass to the rainbow bridge, I am always second guessing the choices I make which does nothing but keep me locked in an endless cycle of guilt, blame and shame. I realized that I could use that same time to remember every wonderful moment we had, to share with others how much better a person I was because they were in my life and for me, what has become more important, getting to the point where I could save another life. Each soul which can never be replaced, and some of which I still bust into tears when something reminds me of them, still taught me how to love and give, even through the toughest times. I will light a candle and say a prayer for you both tonight, please know we will be here to try to help in what ever way you ask for for as long as it takes. From my heart to yours!!!!

ByeLilTurbo Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Dear CJ, Your candle is now my desktop. Thank you. And thank you SO much for your beautiful reply. I will be reading it many many times over in the weeks, and I'm sure in the months to come. The guilt I am feeling is overwhelming. We had gotten way to complacent with letting them out in the morning. We live in a small neighborhood and we do have a good view of the front yard and down the street from the doorway. But only down one side of the street. The other side is blocked by where I park my truck. Well that's were they were. Coming down that side of the street when my wife looked out. Had she walked down the walkway past my truck she would have seen them coming. But we had gotten lazy, I guess, and we both had stopped doing that. I don't fault her. Had it been me instead of her letting them out that morning the same thing most likely would have happened. It's a very tough morning for me right now. Last night is the first sleep I have had since it happened. And that moment when you awake and the reality of what happened floods your brain. I'm just in tears right now. It's not going to be a good day. Nor will there be a good day for a long long time. Rest In Peace My little Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 My dear friend, I am so very sorry to learn this horrible news, and I hope you'll accept my deepest sympathy. This is such a traumatic way to lose a loved one, and I hope you know that whatever you are feeling is normal under the circumstances ~ including the crippling load of guilt that you are carrying on your shoulders now. I don't know if you've felt up to reading any of the other threads in this forum, but I hope when you feel ready that you will read the posts in this thread, and take my words to heart: Lost My Sweet Speedy, Hurting So Much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I am sorry to hear about your little Turbo. No matter how many losses I've endured, it never prepares you for losing yet another one. I am a real dog lover and I greatly empathize with the enormity of your loss. They are a part of us and we never stop missing them. Do you live in a place where you could bury him and memorialize him? I am truly sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat2005 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I am so sorry for the loss of your adorable Turbo. Your loss has touched my heart in a special way because I just lost my poodle about two months ago. I will keep you and Turbo in my prayers. Who knows maybe Cocoa and Turbo are chasing rainbows together. Take care, Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
