Chief has passed away

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry for your loss.  The most important thing is the Chief knew he was

loved and didn't die alone.  I know your loss because in the last 15 years we

had to put 3 wonderful dog family members and 2 cat family members to sleep. 

We didn't want to--but it was the only way to end their suffering. I considered

their presence in our lives

  " a gift from " God " .  But, God only lends us their company. 

Every loss inspired us to go to the pound and give another loving animal a

home. 

 That (to us) is the biggest tribute we could offer to our canine and feline

family members. 

Thank you for Chief's pictures. I have followed his epic journey through your

emails and feel like I knew him. You did everything you could to restore his

health, but sometimes God has different plans.  You did the right thing to end

his earthly suffering. 

Prayers are with you and Chief.

My little boy passed away at the vet in my Arms at 8:15 Tuesday the 29th of

March, 2011.

At 4.30 he started to bark and cry and I could not get him to stop. I tried

everything to calm him down.He also had blood in his urine.By 6 pm I knew it was

time to take him to a vet.

We got there by 7.30pm and the vet examined him. She said he has crystals in his

Urine, A tumor the Size of a soft ball on his spleen. She suggested trying

steroids to get him to use his back legs and walk, but said it is unlikely it

would help him.

Everyone kept commenting on how Beautiful he was.

My sisiter and I decided together to put him to sleep. He was in to much pain

and I didn't want to see him suffer any more. The vet said I did very well to

get him to 13 and a halve years old.

I held onto Chiefs head and looked into his good eye as he passed away in my

arms.

I will have Chief cremated and His ashes put into an Urn where he can sit next

to my mums Urn.

Two pics of my little boy....

Chief I love you so much and you taught me how to love unconditionally. Chief

you are my greatest teacher...I will miss you my little boy.

Thanks to all who posted on the DMSO Forum....You have all been wonderfull.

Dear Uly,

Tears blur this; we'd all come to love Chief with you and grieve with

you today.

You've done all the right things, and in your devotion have acquired

wisdom what will slowly bloom in you now.

Goodby, sweet, beautiful Chief. And welcome to the limitless realm of

love and light. Help Uly feel your presence and ease his sorrow.

Love,

Léna

Uly,

My heart goes out to you. Chief was blessed to have you in his

life. I have recently lost an animal friend and I know too well the

grief that follows. Be gentle with yourself..

Oh Uly,

You have my deepest sympathy.

Hugs, Dianne

[Guest guest]

Dear Uly,

I have a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes and I know exactly how you

feel. I still mourn the loss of my GSD, Boss, as well as my own Mom, 2 sisters

and brother, who have all passed on too early, leaving me alone in this world.

But I still have my friends and am ever so thankful for the Internet. I kept on

focusing on the fact that they were no longer suffering the ravages of their

illness. Tho I was devastated, I will say that with time it DOES get better.

I am also battling a long standing health problem which prevents me from doing

things I love and have tried many many things without results, but I will not

give up.

I think sooner than later it would be good for you in many ways to pursue your

idea of the foster guide dog puppy.

That is a great idea of yours. Just my opinion.

Best wishes to you.

Pat

Uly,

There are so many of us here with throat lumps and wet eyes, as we learn

of your loss of Chief. I marked the 1 yr anniversary of the loss of my 4

legged child last week.

Know with all your heart that there are many on this list who are

holding you up in thought and prayer right now.

Among all that life gives, are the many 'good byes' we must say. It's

one of our toughest tasks.

Feel the loving wishes sent to you right now and let yourself be

strengthened by them.

Hi Uly, I'm so very sorry to receive your very sad news. All of us with beloved

pets know how you must feel and I hope this poem may in some way help you with

your grief.

Our thoughts are with you.

B and the furkids

Rotorua

NZ

If it should be that I grow frail and weak

And pain should keep me from my sleep

Then you must do what should be done

For this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,

Don't let this grief then stay your hand

For this day more than all the rest

Your love and friendship stand the test.

We've had so many happy years

What is to come can hold no fears,

You'd not want me to suffer so

When the time has come to let me go.

Take me to where my needs they'll tend

Only stay with me till the end

And hold me firm and speak to me

Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you too will see

It is a kindness you do to me

Though my tail it's last was waved

From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Don't grieve that it should be you

Who has to decide this thing to do

We've been so close we two these years

Don't let your heart hold any tears.

[Guest guest]

Uly.

My heartfelt condolences to you..I know what you are going through as I just

lost my Tripp last Thursday.he wasn't even 4 yrs old. Even though it is

hard, try to remember all the happiness and joy that Chief brought you and

the unconditional love he gave to you

Now you'll have to go on with your life alone, well maybe with some family.

He had a good life, thanks to you.

Dear Uly,

Look for your Chief in your dreams. He will come to you very young, vibrant,

happy and just wanting to love you no different than in his physical body. I

have had such experiences with my cats that passed on ... some very, very

difficult passings. I have been there. I bought the book: Saying Goodbye to

Your Angel Animals ... Finding Comfort After Losing Your Pet by &

www.angelanimals.org is their organization where you can send

them your stories about how animals teach you about love and have helped you

or guided you ... in other words, they are Angel Animals here on earth. It

is beautiful. I have 2 stories in a couple of their books. Also, there is an

ancient sound that is the sound behind all the sounds, all the vowells, HU,

or U. It can give you peace in your heart and balance.

Much love and many good blessings to you and to us all,

Janette

[Guest guest]

Dear Uly:

I hope that you are able to read you emails, as many have posted out of

caring for you on learning of Chief's passing. Below, a clip that

Janette wrote:

May I add a few thoughts for your consideration in addition to what Janette

wrote?

Uly, you may not realize it, but you and Chief, through you sharing your

story on this forum, your hope, your dreams, your passion for life, your

hurts and disappointments, have all pulled back the curtain to show what a

beautiful soul you are.

In doing so, I suspect that you have no idea of the gift that you and Chief

have given to some of the members here, including me. You have touched our

hearts and reassured us that real, caring, compassionate human beings still

do exist in the real sense of the word " human " . We live in a world with so

much inhumanity that people like you are an inspiration to push forward with

" good works' if I may use that term.

Heartfelt gratitude goes out to you and Chief and all those precious souls

like you who provide the needed encouragement for others to face the future

with an absolute determination to help to build a better world, one by one.

Best regards,

Taffy

[Guest guest]

Taffy,

You took the words right out of my mouth. I joined this group to learn more

about DMSO, and I really did. But, even after I learned what I needed, I had to

keep checking on Uly and Chief. It was with such a hopeful heart that I opened

my mail each day. And even though there wasn't any real good news, Uly's love

reached out and touched me time and time again.

Uly,

I am completely heartbroken for you. So is my husband and my mom, who I have

shared your story with. I am sure that I'm not the only one to share your story,

so please know that there are more thoughts and prayers for you right now than

you know.

Hi Pat,

Thankyou for your kind comments. You are someone I look up to, Admire and

respect. With out you I never would have known Chief had Degenerative

Myelopathy. You have had a hard life too and show great courage in how you keep

on going after all your losses and Illness.

I would love to foster a guide dog puppy, but after looking at the criteria for

fostering I don't think I would be accepted as I'm too sick to walk the puppy

every day in shopping centers ect. It would be a wonderfull thing to do if I

could do it as I am a long time supporter and donater of the Guide Dogs

Australia.

Thanks for you kind words Cheri. I'm very sorry you lost Tripp under 4 years of

age. I don't know if I could handle lost a pet that was very young.

The one thing I can be grateful for is that most of my dogs have been between 12

- 14 when they passed.

No, it's one a friend sent me many years a go when one of our beloved dogs had

to be put down. It was not accredited to anyone so I saved it and passed it on

to you as it helped us greatly and was sure you'd gain benefit from it.

All our best wishes, and family

P.S. We loved the pictures of Chief.

Yes I will be expecting him to visit at some point in the future. My mum had

many dreams / visions of pets and her own mother visitiing. She even had my dog

" Duke " the dog we had before Chief visit her. Duke did not visit me and I was

very sad about this, but think about why he would visit mum more than me I

realised that mum was there when he was born. Duke was born dead and mum did cpr

on him for about 8 mins and he came to life. So he was probably thanking mum for

that.

I have always belied that Chief is a re-incarnation of Duke. Have a look at the

photo's and tell me what you think.

Chief:

Thanks I will have a look into those books. They seem very interesting.

Being a Rosicrucian I am very interested in and like to Practice Vowel Sounds. I

also learn't the Hu sound in my Qigong studies. I did it for the 1st time in a

long time last night. Thankyou for reminding me of it again. Also there was a

lady on Coast to Coast am with Nory that was talking about the HU sound a

few weeks ago. I'm happy to see more people promoting and practicing vowel

sounds again.

Yes I have recieved many emails...I will try to reply to them soon.

Thankyou Taffy for the very Kind words. I am not aware that my story with Chief

may have effected many here on the forum. If this has happened and some how

Chief 's Story has helped someone here then my heart is truely warmed by this

news.

I can not take any credit for this tho as this is Chiefs Story and I am only a

student of the Master " Chief " .

I believe Dogs are our teachers and we can leanr a lot from them. I have learn't

unconditional love from chief and to put others needs before my own.

If you guys are interested in another dog who was a master teacher then go to

Cesar Millans website (The dog whisperer) look up " Daddy's " story. Daddy is

truely an inspirational dog and a dog who changed my views on so called

dangerous breeds like pitbulls.I cryed so much when I found out Daddy had died

as I realised we had lost another Master Teacher.

I just want to thank all of those who posted with your kind words on the DMSO

forum..I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I haven't been able to

reply back to all the post as there were more than I expected, but all your

words mean't a lot to me. I wouldn't have been able to get through this

experience with out all of you.

The worst part of Chiefs passing was taking him to the vet an realising he would

no longer be with me physically any longer and then the long Drive home. I

actually couldn't breathe on the way home and I actually thought I was going to

go to hospitial and it was the end of me too.

The most peacefull part was when Chief was given the needle and he passed. I

felt at one with him and the universe at that moment. He was a good and brave

boy at the vet considering he doesn't like vets, becasue of when he was a puppy

he broken 2 legs and probably associated a lot of pain with vets. He normaly

snaps and growls at the vet...but he was completely calm.

The vet we we had was wonderfull. I did not go to my regular vet as they were

shut and we just found the nearest vet that was open and it was the right

choice. She was a younger vet, a bit yonger than me and very compassionate and

caring for Chief. She has given me hope that oneday I will meet a compassionate

woman like her to have a realationship with as I had lost hope in ever finding a

woman with such caring charcteristics like her.

I will post a couple of more photos. I hope you guys understand by putting

photos up that is is very healing for me, but I won't go overboard with the

photos.

This is a Picture of Chief that my mum cut out and edited a bit. My mum was a

fantasic artist and a self taught computer artist:

This is a picture of the plane I fly in Flight Simulator. The plane is a P47

Thunderbolt WW2 Fighter plane. The paint scheme I painted myself and is my

Memorial to " My Mate Chief " ...it was painted last year.

Two fun pics of Chief:

Yes Chief was mostly German Shephard with some Golden Retreiver cross Breed.

lol yes I know of the famous Rin Tin Tin :-)

Yes Chief was very Inteligent and mum used to say he could have been a Police

Sniffer Dog or Search and Rescue Dog.The only regret I have is I never took him

out to walk in the outside world and for him to have Doggy friends. He was last

walked when he was just under 1 years old. We gave him plenty of exercise in our

yard, but I was too protective over him and was scred something would happen to

him in the outside world.

Since watching Cesar the dog whisperer I have learnt how to deal with my issues

with taking him into the outside world. Unfortuneately he was too sick by the

time I learnt these valuable lessons. If I ever get another dog he will have a

very different life from Chief.

I remember me and my sister used to play hide'n go seek with him and when he

found us we would make a big boo sound and he would run off pretending to be

scared lol he loved that game. My sister would also set up an obstacle course

like the equestrian horses have in our back yard. He also used to jump onto the

trampoline from the ground and stop...I don't know how he could do that as I

couldn't even do it. His favourite game was tug o war...he was so strong he

would pull me to the ground. He was even still playing tug o war laying down on

his bed up till a month before his passed away...and still pulling me over.

much.

>Chief was mostly German Shephard with some Golden Retreiver cross Breed.<

What a gorgeous mixture he was, Uly!

>lol yes I know of the famous Rin Tin Tin <

Great! I was raised on the adventures of Lassie and RTT, very inspiring to me as

a kid! Lately tho, my life experience seems as ancient as the dinosaurs!

>Yes Chief was very Inteligent and mum used to say he could have been a Police

Sniffer Dog or Search and Rescue Dog.<

A dog with a career!

>I was too protective over him and was scared something would happen to him in

the outside world.<

I can understand that all too well.

>Since watching Cesar the dog whisperer<

I admire Cesar very much. I wish I'd known him when we had our dogs.

>If I ever get another dog he will have a very different life from Chief.<

When the time is right for you, I hope you will find the perfect companion.

>I remember me and my sister used to play hide'n go seek with him and when he

found us we would make a big boo sound and he would run off pretending to be

scared<

Some animals seem to have a true sense of humor. I like that in a dog!

>He also used to jump onto the trampoline from the ground and stop...I don't

know how he could do that as I couldn't even do it.<

Sounds like he had brakes hidden somewhere in that lovely long fur.

>His favourite game was tug o war...he was so strong he would pull me to the

ground.<

LOL!

>He was even still playing tug o war laying down on his bed up till a month

before his passed away...and still pulling me over.<

My calico Petra used to love to fetch. Her favorite item was a Q-tip. Unlike

some animals, she'd bring it back and put it in my hand. Not too subtle, but she

made her point!

She was still trying to fetch a week or two before I lost her. Chief sounds like

he was a gallant dog to the end. I wish I'd known him...

Hugs, Dianne
