Hello Pugalug Community. My heart is broken - as we had to say our goodbyes to Rex no less than 24 hours ago  He would have been only 4 years old this April. It was so quick - he woke up paralyzed - and the Neurologist said that there was no point in doing surgery as he wouldn't recover. He lost control from his brain to his bladder and it would have been a matter of time. They said he wouldn't have even been accepted for surgery because they've seen it many times before and it wasn't fixable. We went in twice just to make sure, but he had only gotten worse over the day instead of better. He was in agony and he just wanted to close his eyes so badly. From the back half he was 'gone' - but we were still able to stare into those huge brown eyes and speak to him, tell him how much we were going to miss him and how unfair it was. Our boys are dealing okay considering - but Rex was the absolute best dog we ever had and I just don't know what we'll do without him. I'm a mess. Everything I see/do reminds me of him - I want to reverse the last 24 hours and make the pain go away  Thanks for sending him some warm thoughts, to let him know how much he is missed and how much his family adored him - and we hope he's able to do those fabulous Pugtona's again in Puppy Heaven because he wouldn't have been able to here on Earth. Farewell Sexy Rexy ......... |

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It must have been terrible to see him that way. He is now pain free and running around with all his pug friends that have gone before him.
Thinking of you all.

I really feel for you and it's not fair that you had to say goodbye so soon. Hoping you find some comfort in knowing he had a wonderful life with you. |

Thank you everyone. I've been through grief before - as most anyone has - but this excruciating pain is like nothing I've experienced before. I cannot control myself. He was such an Angel on Earth and he was taken way too soon. I feel ripped off and devastated at the same time - I can still 'feel' him in my arms from yesterday Night time is so hard - so I really do appreciate the support I am getting from the Pugalug Community and my friends elsewhere. Thanks again. The Polley Family |

Oh God, Jen. I'm so so sorry. But bless you for letting him go and not making him struggle against impossible odds.
I will light a candle on Dunkirk Rd for Rex. Run free, little man and find all the other good dogs there.

Oh Jenn, my heart is breaking for you. The ones that go suddenly are the worst because it seems to hit you right between the eyes. But every death is a reminder to live life to the fullest and it sounds like Rex set a good example of doing that. Cherish the wonderful memories you made together and feel the strength of the pug community as you grieve.
