I am so very sorry

 

So Sorry.

 

I am sorry for your loss and I understand your warning. I see it in my happy clacking, leaping, twisting tree pruner when the rotation is not quite right and the landing is bad. I think mostly about ACL damage but this too could go much more wrong. Freak things happen but that doesn't allow us to feel any better about it. RIP beloved friend.

 

Until you meet again at the bridge....condolences to you and the family, and may Ark forever be chasing his ball safely and happily!

 

Oh nooo what happend. Sorry about your buddy

 

It was really just a freak accident.
We(DH, DD, & the 3 dogs) were all outside doing normal kennel chores. DD was playing with the dogs & throwing a ball for them like we've all done 100's of times. After one of the tosses the ball bounced off the ground badly & went straight up in the air about 15'. My GSD Ark, who was a wide open/full throttle type, went up in the air after it, which he has on occasion done before. However this time he went straight/vertically up about 5-6' high. He also came back down the same way & landed in a heap. It was one of those things that as you are watching it, you just know it will not end well but are helpless to stop it.
We figure he ruptured the disks in his back & also had internal injuries, based on his symptoms.

I've always worried about ACL tears and such. I never would have imagined the above scenario happening. So even though it was a freak thing, take care when allowing, training, encouraging, etc. your larger dog to jump high(er) into the air after a toy.

 

So sorry to hear of your loss.

 

I am sorry for your loss

 

So sorry for your loss, run free Ark!

 

sorry

 

sorry for your loss

 

I am so sorry for your loss.

 

I am so very sorry.

 

How very sad. May his memory offer you comfort. RIP Ark.

 

I"m so sorry for you loss. :hugs:

 

Oh no.

I'm so very sorry for your loss! What a beautiful boy he was. It's so hard to lose them so suddenly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you!

RIP Ark

 

This should never happen. It just should never happen. My heart goes out to you.

RIP, beautiful Ark!
For those who asked, this was on FB:

Just a reminder to those with dogs that only know one speed... wide open-full throttle. Please take care when playing ball or Frisbee type games with them and try not to let things get out of hand. It only took a spit second, a bad bounce of the ball, and a jump into the air with a crash landing to end Arks life. It's a great responsibility we have on our shoulders, for they give us their hearts.

 

Oh my doG, I am so sorry. What a freak incidence. You and your family are in my thoughts.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

So sorry for your loss.

 

That is SO sad! My heart goes out to you!! I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Ark!!

 

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! This is a horrible accident and I am so sorry it turned out badly.

I see Havoc do the leap in the air too. Terrifying.

 

So sorry! I went to FB and saw him............

 

I am so sorry so hear of your loss, just know that your boy will most likely save the lives of other pups after their owners learn of this terrible accident and possibly adjust the way they play. RIP Handsome boy:hug:

 

What a horrible, tragic accident. I would never have imagined anything like that happening either. He was a beautiful boy, and obviously very special. I'm so sorry.

 

I am sorry for your loss. Our time together is never enough.
