Forever in my heart... Jeter



Recommended Posts

For those of you that were around 5 months ago, you might remember my problems with Jeter. The time came. Jeter died at 3:10pm today. It was a peaceful silent death and I held him as we helped him die at the vet's office. This is breaking my heart as I feel as if I have lost a piece of me. I know he lives on forever in my heart but I miss him terribly. The friendship, the love, the trust and the strength of him amazes me. I have often wonder why people are incapable of giving the same type of love that a dog gives us.

Thank you for all of the love and support you all gave me when he first became ill.

My friend will be missed. Our family will mourn. And a part of him will be with me forever.

I truly feel for you dear. My dog is like a furry child and best friend rolled into one. They truly become a part of the family. Another hug sent your way.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm also someone who sees and feel that my pets are my children. I have had to put a very beloved dog to sleep but as hard as it was, I couldn't bear to see her suffer, she didn't deserve that. I have found that keeping a picture in a place you can see it frequently as you move around your house can be helpful. I lost my girl two years ago and I still tell her I love her and miss her and everynight I tell her good night. They truly do steal a part of our hearts and again I am very sorry you have to go through this loss, but agree with Crystal, you did what needed to be done with love in your heart.

Aww, I'm so sorry Jenna. I know this is hard for you. I'm thankful for you for the last 5 or so months...he was so sick before and you have had all this time together. Bless you.

I am so, so sorry to hear this. Many of us here have had to help our most favorite friends (our pets) out of thier misery.

It is so very hard. It still brings tears to my eyes. Of course you did the right thing - but that doesn't really help you with the grief you feel right now.

Time is a wonderful salve on a wounded soul.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
