Sorry to hear that. I knew it was toxic to dogs (read it on a chicken forum!) but obviously many don't.

Oh Bephlam, I am so sorry to hear your sad news, after everything else that's going on in your life it must seem unbearable. I know exactly how attached to dogs we become - before we had children we lost our gorgeous border collie, who managed to get himself run over by a coach (chasing an airbourne seagull of all things!), right in front of my OH, on the first day of our holiday in Scotland. He died in OH's arms - we were heartbroken, we felt as though we had lost a child, and so many people couldn't understand. So I do feel for you and your partner (((((hugs))))). As others have said, remember the good times, and he had obviously had a long and glorious happy life with you, a lucky dog, he looks a little smasher!Life is brief and very fragile, do that which makes you happy.

Oh that's so sda. and I am thinking of you. My dog was a real scrounger and used to pinch all sorts of thigns he shouldn't have. Once he ate a plastic bag with half a children's sandwhich in, and another time he jumped up and stone the elastic that wraps a joint up.
They do such crazy things.
Hope you can bury him somewhere nice and plant something in his honour

The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I am heartbroken - I really feel I can't function at all today. I have always known how dangerous chocolate is to dogs, but accidents happen...and he was greedy in his old age, so when the chocolate was left for a moment (and that's all it was) he took his chance...and enjoyed every last wee bit of it. Normally I would have made him sick instantly, but my Mum didn't think it had done him any harm, so didn't call me to let me know - not her fault - just an accident. By the time she realised he had absorbed too much of the theobromine...which eventually caused his heart to fail.
On the plus side, he was home (I'm a vet nurse, believe it or not...lots of bl00dy good that did us!!) so he could be at home with his IV line...he slept on the foot of the bed until the end...he could have been alone in a cage in the surgery. So, there is comfort in that!!
He brought so much joy to us, and he can never ever be replaced. He made us happy - I only hope that he'll make someone else as happy as he did us in his new life.
He came to us in times of need, and left us at a strange time. I can't see a reason for it, but there has to be one - perhaps preparing us for my Papa's passing? I don't know...but I have to believe there is a reason for everything...if I don't, I don't get the point of it all.
Thanks again to everyone - you've all made me feel very supported. I'm glad I have met you all - my friends from afar.
Give ALL your furry babies an extra cuddle this morning...but NO CHOCOLATE!!!

It's no help but we had a pet death 7pm Xmas Eve many years ago...with 2 young children and gifts for the hamster under the tree..wasn't a good start
The children were playing with the hamster and forgot to close off the exit- it got out when they'd put him away ...and the cat caught him and brought him in to us as his gift for Xmas
Tears all round at bedtime.
but a dog is so much more part of the family."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Bephlam. So So sorry to hear about Quincey. Our 2 dogs mean everything to us so we know how you must be feeling. Same thing happened to us a few years ago, but we managed to get Geoff to the vet quickly. I'm crying for you as I write this. Look after yourself.
