I Needed You, More then God.....RIP-UPDATE




Rest In Peace, Sharkie!
Why God took you from us this morning, I will never know!
We will miss you
UPDATE:
It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you that Sharkie is no longer with us.
I let Sharkie and Deetz out this morning and put them in the fenced in area at 6:30 am. There daddie always checks on them before he leaves for work at 7:30am.
In that hour, somehow...someway, while they were playing, there collars became tangled and with no way to free himself, Sharkie choked to death before his daddie
could get to him.
His daddie had to cut the collars loose to free him, but it was too late!
Sharkie was buried next to Gizmo this morning along with his tennis ball and his favorite stuffie that he suckled on each night before bedtime.
I want to scream, but nothing comes out.

We just learned of this on Twitter. We are so very, very sorry to hear of this terrible tragedy. We know Sharkie will be horribly missed, and that his absence will leave a monstrous hole in your hearts and your lives.

There are no words to express the sad and angry feelings that go with such a loss. We certainly understand what you mean by "wanting to scream, but nothing coming out."

Our best wishes, warm hugs, and all the kitties' purrs are with you at this very sad time.

We are so incredibly sorry for your loss. We came within seconds of the same thing happening at Chez Herd and after much reading, I discovered it is far a more common accident that thought. We now wear breakaway collars that are designed specifically to come apart in such a moment, but it took a near tragedy for us to discover them.

We are thinking of you and your family in this tragic time.

we are so very very sad about Sharkie. we want to tell you that 4 1/2 years ago, we lost Bijou, a 3 month old puppy, due to a collar accident. it was horrible, so horrible. mom cried for weeks, she felt so guilty. but she learned about breakaway collars and we wear them now when we are at home alone. it is such a tragedy and we are so sad for you. it's just so unfair. we are truly sorry.
