Lost my dog Stitch today due to Illness since December, this description is limited, for the full details, you can visit to my Deviant Art page about it here: http://neoseekerstitch.deviantart.com/art/RIP-Stitch-350309059
Awww, I remember when you first got Stitch. After reading your full post, it sounds like he had diabetes (sugar disease). At least it sounds like he got to live a happy life, something that all pets deserve to have.
Yeah, I didn't know the term for it, We call it Sugar Disease, since it involved with his sugar level, and the insuline shots, it suddenly happened last month around 14 or 15 December that he began to excessive drinking and urinating, and it's been getting downhill mostly after that, there were moments it seemed to became better, but it went mostly downhill.
Wow man, I'm so sorry. He was a really cute dog too, and this kind of makes me sad because I had to put my dog to sleep recently/last year so I know how you feel. I had my dog all my life and the world just came crashing down when we had to put him to sleep. I think putting a dog to sleep is even worst but losing a bestfriend is so hard.
As a fellow mod and friend you can come to me to talk if you want to. Nobody truly understands this feeling until it actually happens to them. Dogs are man's bestfriend. I still find myself almost crying over my dog, but maybe I'll see him again one day. I have to stay strong and move on though but I won't ever forget him.
But yeah having a pet die is just really heartbreaking. I may get a dog in the future, especially if I have a family...but not right now. Plus my dad probably wouldn't agree with it, haha.
I remember about your dog. It sure sucks, though. Even more so, if the dog was still full of life, but this disease was killing him slowly, yesterday or the day after, He still fetched the ball, and wanted to play, if it wasn't for this disease that suddenly came in last month, he could've lived for another 10 or so years.
And things went so fast, I mean, 14:40, I looked at the clock on the computer when I heard him bark downstairs on someone walking pass the window infront of the house, probably, and I wanted to remember that, an hour later, he was gone probably.
He got the anestathic needle around 15:20, looked at the clock at the vet's office when he got it, he felled unconscience within 5 minutes, which should normally take 10 minutes for it to kick in, and shortly after that it was time for his final injection, that I didn't want to see that.
And it sure is sad when you see him all excited and happy when we went out to take him there, like it was just for another walk, or a ride, except it was his final one, if he only would realise that.
Looks like he was an amazing dog.
But, I hope get another Dog/Puppy as great as Stitch.

I hope you can find another dog Stitch
Not sure if I want another dog, though, who knows.
