We lost our Jerry dog

We lost our dog Jerry yesterday. We came home from shopping to him on the floor. We rushed him to the vet but they said he had passed. I had them find out what happened and apparently he had a tumor in his spleen that ruptured. I didn't always get along with him the best, he was my more my wife's dog, but I still loved him. He would drive me crazy but he was always still there. I can't get the image of him on the ground out of my head. I wish we didn't leave and think we could of helped him or at least said goodbye. The vet said it's a common issue and they go very quick. They don't show symptoms commonly until it's just too late and they pass out. We found him with throw up and poop and pee around him .. I just feel horrible. I wish I could have him back even though I know we can't. Im just so sad and miss him.

Sorry for your loss. That must have been traumatic finding him like that. You guys did the best you could when you found him.. looking at things in retrospect is always so hard too, because there is that “what if..”. Hope you can find some peace in your grief journey.

Thank you. I'm just glad we gave him a life 6 years with us and we gave him them good pets before we left for the day.
