Tough day

[amberstarr]

A client of mine who has Belgian Tervurens (7) had one diagnosed with stomach cancer in December just before the holidays. She battled it out and fought well but it ended today. This client happened to be on my book today because she is going to a show this weekend and has two entered but is taking all of them with her. She text me about an hour before her appointment and told me to excuse her in advance for be a blubbering mess because they were euthanizing Paris today. I asked her if she wanted to cancel and I would totally understand but she said no the dogs are dirty and they are still showing this weekend so to come and do the show grooms. I had no idea the vet was to get there after us and put her down and then the animal pick up service arrived after that to get her. My client came out to the trailer a while after with another dog (Ruby) for us and said that Ruby wouldnt let the lady take Paris's body.... she said she was very upset and protective about it and then we all started crying. It was all a very upsetting and heartbreaking experience.

Oh bless your heart! So sad. Like Smart-n-Pretty said, "All dogs go to heaven." Hope your day tomorrow is better.

So sorry

As a lover and owner of Belgian Sheepdogs for 35 years, I know the incredible bond this breed makes on the humans in their lives. They may be protective and snarly until they know you, but once you have broken into their inner circle, they will be the sweetest, most attentive dogs you have ever met.

I've gone through the same thing myself, more than once. Goes with the territory of having so very many senior dogs on the books. I've literally lost count of the number of my little friends that have passed in the last 2 years.

I'm glad you were there to help comfort the owner and provide Ruby with some much-needed distraction.

Oh, that is so sad!
Hugs and sympathies for you, Paris' family and poor Ruby. She lost her best friend...
It breaks my heart to see animals grieve for their deceased buddies.

I'm so sorry to hear this honey. Big hugs! That breaks my heart that the one was being protective over poor Paris : (

That's so heartbreaking. What a sad day for you. So sorry for you and your client.

So sorry. The dog's do grieve the loss of their friends too.
