Sorry I was not available to answer earlier.  I understand the bond between humans and animals - though no one can truly help your family other than yourselves.  Think positive thoughts - one day you will get another dog.  Take your time.  When the momment is right you will both know what to do.  I know this is hard right now - but grasp the positives ie. the memory of the dog and how he brought the two of you closer.  

If the dog was otherwise completely healthy one day - then to suddenly drop dead the next day probably was due to poisoning or a ruptured aorta which rarely occurs - so I would hone in on the posioning possibility.  Bring your dog to a veterinary pathologist to perform the necropsy, or bring him to your local veterinarian who can send suspect tissues to a veterinary pathologist.

There really is not much more I can say.  Look to whatever makes you feel best during this trying time.  All the best during this time of mourning.

That's kind of interesting your dog died, my sister who raises collies said the dogs that are sold at pet stores are usually not the highest of quality.

Consider it a matter of fate (or otherwise), that with the baby coming her attention and love will be absorbed by the needs of her new malishka.  It may yet be some months away, but once the occasion happens there will be little time for looking back.  Another new dog around the house may not be what is needed, just let time make it's course.

....Congrats on the two years, sorry about the dog. I agree, get a new one but you may wish to wait a little first. A short grief period is usually needed to seperate the two and provide true closure. Besides, she'll have her hands full with your other new arrival in the not so distant future.


When God had made the earth and sky, the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals and all the birds and bees.

And when His work was finished, and not one was quite the same, He said "I'll walk this earth of mine and give each one a name".

And so he traveled land and sea, and everywhere He went, a little creature followed him, until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the Earth, and in the sky and sea, the little creature said, Dear Lord, there's not one left for me.

The Father smiled and softly said, "I've left you for the end. I've turned my own name back to front and called you Dog, my friend".

I don't have any comforting words for your niece. That was a terrible thing that happened and I don't know of any words that would make it better. But for your Olga here is something. My dog died last November and my Olga sent me this.

"Завещание
далматина".Он написал ее за несколько дней до смерти
своей собаки Блеми.Вот небольшой отрывок из этой
статьи:"Я,Блеим, кладу настоящее завещание в тайник
памяти моего Хозяина.Мне нечего оставить Ему,кроме моей
любви и верности.Я прошу моего Хозяина помнить меня
всегда,но не скорбеть обо мне слишком долго.При жизни
я старался быть утешением для Тебя в минуты горя и
вносить больше радости в дни счастья.Я не хочу быть
причиной твоих страданий и после моей смерти.Мне жаль
расставаться с тобой,но не с жизнью.В отличие от людей,
собаки не боятся смерти.Мы принимаем это как часть
жизни.Кто знает,что ждет нас после смерти?Я верю,что
там есть Рай.Там каждый вечно молод и полон сил,там все
резвятся дни напролет и каждый час время обеда,где
длинными вечерами в миллионах каминов потрескивают
дрова,а собаки собираются вокруг,чтобы,задумчиво глядя
на огонь,вспоминать старое доброе время на Земле и
любовь своих Хозяев.Я боюсь,что это слишком хорошо для
такой собаки,как я.Но по крайней мере меня ждет покой.
Покой и отдых для моего усталого сердца и старых костей
и вечный сон в земле,которую я так любил.Когда бы Ты не
пришел на мою могилу,скажи со скорбью и с радостью в
скрдце:"Здесь покоиться тот,которого любили и который
любил."Я услышу это в своем вечном сне,и даже смерть не
помешает моему духу благодарно вильнуть хвостиком.Я
буду вечно любить Тебя так,как может любить только
собака."

Dan,
Happy aniversary to the two of you!  Sorry for your loss.  As much as I hate to agree with anything Bill pots (LOL), I vote for puppy shopping.  The new dog will never replace the old one, but he will find his way into your hearts none the less.

FIrst of all, I'm sorry for your loss. (I have a dog of my own.)  

I went through this with a friend of mine recently. About all you can say is that your sorry. I also checkin ocassionaly to see how she was doing.

I like the idea of getting a new dog.  Only your wife will know when she's ready for another dog.  I prefer to get my dogs from a shelter. However, that's not for everybody.

My condolences on your loss. Losing a pet can be a devastating experience. About two months ago a relative of mine lost her German Shepherd in the same way as your lab--a sudden difficulty in breathing followed by death. An autopsy, which I wouldn't recommend, would probably show a congenital heart problem--a frailty the labador was born with ready to happen at any time. The important thing for Olya to realize is that sad  experiences sometimes occur one upon another but then many years will follow where all goes extremely well.  In my relative's case, she will be getting 2 dogs--one a German Shepherd and another a competely different breed.  Each person has their own time frame for properly mourning their lost pet but when your family is ready just remember all the love your first dog received in its short two years and there's another animal out there anxiously waiting for that same kind of love.

Dan, maybe you can't wait but if you can, I will have a fine litter of registered Golden Retrievers in about 6-months.

Iswote, I live in north Texas, just north of Dallas.

Sasha is a beautiful golden female. Maximus is a beautiful big boy with a deep red tint mixed with his gold.

ASAP... a puppy of course.  

Don't let time lag in between to dwell on the past.  She  will quickly forget the other dog in time, reguardless of his bond to her...

Atually, you might go to the dog shelter and find a older one need a good home.

Kind of like some women we know.  (don't say that to your wife or you'll really get it upside the head).
