I am heartbroken, We lost Geordie yesterday, we knew it was coming but didn't expect it until after Christmas or should say I hoped he would last until the New Year. He had all his teeth taking out over a year ago, its since then he slowly declined losing weight and remembering where he was and who we were. He nearly reached his 18th birthday.
This is my baby below a frw days ago after he had been hunting for nibbles, he found one of our Parrots feahers. He doesn't look 18 though he still looked young.
We were sitting watching TV when Hubby asked where is Geordie, over the last few weeks his Dementia has been getting worse, he's gone back to his hunting ways searching every where for things to eat. We had to remove him from under the sofs as he got stuck. This has never happened before. Hubby went out to look for him to find him dead on the Kitchen floor, he had only been gone from our sight for a few minutes. I heard Glen scream, I was just behind him. I got on the floor scooping him up hoping I could save him but he had gone, I wrapped him in a blanket holding him like a baby, He was my baby I couldn't believe he had gone.
SPOOKY HAPPENINGS
Hubby was booked into the hospital on the 13th for his hip replacement but after his blood appointment on the 11th they phoned to say they will take him on the 15th with him still having a cold. If his operation had gone ahead hubby wouldn't have been able to say good bye to Geordie. Its weird how things have worked out. Plus Glen is going to be laid up for a few weeks after his operation, with Geordie losing himself it would have been a lot of hard work looking after them both. It was the perfect day for him to leave but doesn't help heal my heart.
This is Geordie after his teeth removal, his tongue couldn't stay in his mouth with having no teeth.
We got Geordie 14 years ago from hubbys friend, he thought he was going into prison so needed a home for Geordie and hubby was looking for a friend for me as I was having a bad time with depression. When we first met Geordie he was a hunting dog, when he walked out of his friends garden he was all muscle. He had been kept in a cage in the garden, no toys, no treats plus his very first cuddle was with my youngest daughter, he froze in her arms. We took him straight away. At the time we still had my German Shepherd Sheara, we were concerned the Two boys wouldn't get along, after a few barks they became close friends, we lost Sheara a year later.
Geordie has been my best friend from the moment we got home, he never left my side. He loved his toys and treats plus loved the comfort and warmth of sleeping next to me or cuddling up on my knee. He's going to be a massive loss.
We didn't know what to do with him, I wanted to keep cuddling him but the Vet said to put him in our old car overnight to keep him cold but I couldn't do that so we phoned a crematorium that happened to be open, it was further away from us but they said they would come for him, they would send us a Scatter pot that in gong to use to make myself some jewellery, they are also going to send me some of his fur and a paw print another weird thing We had his nails cut earlier that day.
My house doesn't feel the same anymore, my other two dogs seem lost not knowing what's going on. I feel as if my hearts been ripped out, I have red puffy sore eyes street crying so much.
Thank you for visiting. ππ
