Our Jazzy
Hello everyone, Ive been following this site for a while and just recently registered...We had to put our 10 year old German Shepherd Jazzy down just 4 days ago, and I know those of you who have lost your fur baby GSDs will understand exactly what we are going through...
Jazzy was adopted to us only 6 years ago, went through two bloating episodes and several Gastro issues...But we kept going like the tight knit little family we were...We were her whole world and she was ours, and I have cried non stop every single day since that awful night so soon ago... Jazzy was acting odd that night, sure she was anxious as it was, not uncommon for her, but she couldnt seem to get comfy wherever she lay...And when she started to throw up and lay in strange places that she never had before, I knew...Something was very wrong. And In my heart I knew, once we took her to the emergency vet, God was going to take her from us...And I was right. Sometimes it sucks that your heart knows before your brain, it isn't a good feeling in this circumstance, not at all... Turns out she had a mass on her spleen, and there were pretty much zero options, so we had to say goodbye to her...It was hard, we were devastated, even the vet cried...And although I'm still very angry at the universe for taking my furry daughter, I knew this was the best thing for her... I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful site, Ive already read stories of those of you who have gone through the same thing as us...Our world is so empty, my soul is blue, my heart hurts like none other, and I feel like we've done something wrong to have our baby girl taken from us...6 years wasn't enough time, it isn't fair... But I am proud to say that Jazzy never wanted for anything, especially LOVE, and I like to think she knew that...Thanks for reading! |

(very heavy sigh), sounds like another case of hemangiosarcoma. i don't know if there's more of it around these days, or if those of us who've lost a dog to this quick and stealthy disease are just more aware of it. i call it the club nobody wants to belong to...there are way too many of us here. but we all understand exactly what you're going thru and how devastating the loss is.
please know you've done NOTHING wrong, but everything right in giving your jazzy a wonderful and loving home. i am so sorry for your great loss. take good care and welcome to the board. many blessings.

I am so sorry. I wish you had gotten to have more time with her. She is lucky to have been adopted by a family that loved her so much.

I am so sorry and I feel your pain. We just lost our Casey 10.3 years in Oct to hemangiosarcoma of the spleen, and our Kaiser (almost 10) was just diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma of the heart.
It is a genetic flaw in this breed. Just know you are not alone. {Hugs} to you and God speed Jazzy. |

I'm so sorry that you lost your beloved Jazzy so young. It sounds like she had a really good life with you. I'm glad that you found this forum because there are many people here who understand what you're going through.
Rest in peace, Jazzy.

Thank you everyone, so very much, I am SO glad I found this forum, I knew people would understand what we are going through, and it is amazing how many of you lost your fur baby to the exact same thing...Its been a week today (well late tonight it will be,) and we picked up Jazzy's things...Amazingly I didn't cry, but my heart is still very, very heavy...I know it will be for sometime, too...We also informed the rescue where we got Jazzy of what happened and she was sad, but thanked us for giving her the best thing we could...A forever home...My hubby got me the "Rin Tin Tin" story for our anniversary and I plan to read it right away, I've felt reading (between this wonderful site and other things about GSD's) has really helped...
