Our Murphy is very ill

[Logan]

There are several here who can explain more in depth what we are dealing with right now. My heart is just broken and I hardly have the strength to describe the situation, but our Murphy (senior Lab girl) is at the end of her life and I'm doing everything in my power to keep her comfortable until Scott can get home late tonight.

I just wanted you to know why I may be absent, or short of words (very unusual for me, I know).

Please keep Murphy in your thoughts and prayers. She has lived a very long, wonderful life and we owe it to her to keep her from suffering any further.

Logan

[lv4dogs]

Oh Logan, my heart goes out to you. Many hugs for you & Murphy. I wish there was something I could do or say to make it all better for you both. She sure is loved & she knows it.

May her journey to the bridge be an easy one.

{{{hugs}}}

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Logan, I'm so sorry! This is the hardest part of loving an animal!

Murphy may your journey to the bridge be short and peaceful. You are loved so very much and will take that love with you. You will be surrounded by millions of our dear animals who will watch over you and show you around.

(((HUGS))) for Murphy and the entire family. :(

Logan, my heart is breaking right now as I read this :(. May God be with you, Murphy and your family during this gutwrenching time. I just don't know what else to say right now... I'm at a loss :(

[Ginger's Mom]

Logan, I am so sorry. {{{Big Hugs}}} to you and Murphy. I am sure she knows how loved she is. You have always made her happy and comfortable. Have a safe trip to the bridge, sweet Murphy, we will all miss you.
(Major LES, sorry)

[Vela]

I'm sorry for your impending loss. You are doing what's best for her even though it hurts you greatly. From the sounds of it she lived a very long and happy life and you will be able to treasure those happy memories even through the sadness. Godspeed Murphy. Hugs to the whole family.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so sorry. :( My thoughts are with you all.

[sasvermont]

((((((((((((((((((Logan and family))))))))))))))))))))))))

Be safe Murphy dear.

[Randi]

Logan, I'm very sorry to hear it's time for Murphy. :( I know you're doing everything you can to comfort her now. May it be a consolation for you that you have spent a long and happy time together, and thay she won't be suffering.

Have a safe trip sweet Murphy, and rest in peace!

My thoughts are with you.

*Hugs*

[lizbud]

Logan,

I have been away from PT for a few days & just now reading about
Murphy. :( I pray that Murphy is granted a peaceful passing to Rainbow
Bridge. It is so hard to see those end days of life for our dearly loved
friends. (((HUGS))) Liz

[Logan]

Reading all of your kind words brings tears to my eyes, my friends. Thank you all so much. I hope I have been able to bring a tenth of the comfort that you all have provided for me today when you have been, or will be, in the same position.

Our Murphy is comfortable right now, with her friend, Lilly, nestled beside her. We have been outside a couple of times today in the bright sunshine. I am so grateful that I knocked that wine over on my laptop on Sunday night, now....funny how things like that work out for the best, so I could be home with her. EDIT: Honey has taken Lilly's place now, bless her heart, still leaving Murphy a lot of room.

I'm trying to avoid the details of what I am dealing with, but it is not good. Dr. Robinson and I talked on the phone, earlier, and he is providing me another medication to help with nausea now, but she must eat something to get it down. He feels, as I predicted, that the mass that was found in her abdomen yesterday is obstructing her intestines. There is no need for testing at this point, because we couldn't/wouldn't do anything other than keep her comfortable.

I just want my husband to come home. I actually got angry with him this morning, for a short while, since he was gone and I was here to deal with the heartbreak and the mess (selfish thoughts on my part). Those thoughts quickly disappeared. I know he wants to be here for me and for Murphy and I will handle it until he is. He will be home late tonight, but our vet will not be back in his office until Friday morning. Bless his heart, he offered to meet us later tonight, but not knowing when Scott would arrive, I did not want to ask him to devote that time, plus, my husband might not be ready yet. We will do our best for her in the meantime. I have such an understanding boss, who knows my animals and also has suffered losses, himself. Bless his soul for helping me feel better about devoting time for Murphy. My cats and dogs have been almost strange, as if they "honor" Murphy and understand. Mimi, my senior kitty, who is already 16 years old, slept with me last night. She never does that...and I needed her to. Butter has spent the majority of his time in my lap while I was resting or at the computer. And the Goldens........bless their souls, they just surround her.

I'm so sad.......I can hardly bear it, friends. Thank you again for helping me to not be so alone.

Logan

[Glacier]

I'm so sorry to hear about Murphy. What a wonderful life she's had though and she will carry that love with her when she crosses. I hope your hubby makes it home in time to say goodbye.

[k9krazee]

I can't even begin to know what you are going through but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you Logan at this difficult time. :(

[tatsxxx11]

We cried our eyes out together last night Logan and the tears to continue to flow; my heart is breaking and continues to ache for you and your beloved Labbie girl Murphy. How blessed she has been these past years to have you as her loving, devoted Mom who has loved her unconditionally. You know what is in my heart, how I love that very special yellow girl. I'm there with you, dear friend. Murphy, I'm sending you my love sweet Labbie girl. I hope you can feel it:(
Love, Aunt Sandra and Star

[beeniesmom]

I'm so sorry for Murphy.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I'm very sorry to here about your dog Murphy. She's very lucky to have someone so loving and willing to make sure she is comfortable until the end.

[gini]

Dear Logan, I actually signed on to Pet Talk to post another thread to request prayers for my neighbor's dog, Rusty.

Then I saw this..................Oh, how I do know your pain and my eyes
are filled with tears right now. We never, ever have them with us long enough do we?

It is so tender to read how you are receiving comfort from the rest of your fur family. They know far more than we ever give them credit for.

You have my prayers, Logan and I am so very sorry you have to go through this.

Love, Gini

[Uabassoon]

I'm sorry to hear this news :( You have been there for every single person here on PT and please know that every one of us will be here for you.

[chocolatepuppy]

I'm so sorry about Murphy. :( My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[dukedogsmom]

Tears here for Murphy and family. I know how precious they are to us and I'm so sorry it's time for Murphy to go. I won't say try not to be sad because that's impossible. The longer they're here, the more they seep into our hearts and souls. My heart is breaking for you. I hope the rest of Murphy's time here is without pain and with much love.

[poofy]

Im very sorry for all this to happen to you.. :(

[finn's mom]

Oh, Logan...I wondered what you meant with your comment on finn's thread. Poor Murphy...I'm sorry that you are having to go through so much of this alone.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I know how difficult this is for you Logan. What a sad time it is at your house right now. My heart is breaking for you and your beautiful girl. Have a safe journey sweetheart. Bless you all. :(

[Christiansmommy]

Logan and Scott, I am so sorry that your Murphy isn't well. The pain that you and your husband as well as Murphy have to go thru during this is so sad :( I hope that she can remain as comfortable as possible for the time being.....I am sure you and your Goldens are doing everything to make that so...

((HUGS)) to Scott as well.

I am sorry.

Robyn

[Kfamr]

Logan, I'm very sorry to read about Murphy. I hadn't seen this thread until I happened to check by FTLOD's. I'm so very, very sorry. If any sort of miracle were to happen tonight I wish it to be for your family.

Hugs to you, Helen, Scott, and the rest of the family. Our thoughts are with you.

[solares412]

I just got to this thread. I remember reading some years ago( I've been trying to find where I read it) where a poodle had a large cancerous mass in his chest, and it was pushing the other organs to the side . The vet said to put the dog down. Instead, the dog was given , over time ( I don't remember them saying how much at each dose) two bottles of bovine cartilage and the mass dissolved to the complete astonishment of everyone involved . Health food stores sell bovine cartilage.

[Cincy'sMom]

Logan, our thoughts are with you. I know how hard it is to let them go, but you know whenit is time. You have given Murphy a wonderful life, now she is ready to be a special angel to watch over you.

[Karen]

Sweet, sweet Murphy will be in our prayers, but you and Scott will be as well. It is awfully hard to say good-bye, but sometimes a blessing that we are given that chance. I hope she stays comfortable and know that she knows how much she is loved. No dog could ever ask for more.

Hugs to all of you, we are here for you, even those who cannot think of anything to post.

[cloverfdx]

Logan you and your family and of course sweet Murphy will be in my thoughts {{Hugs}}.

[CagneyDog]

I read this earlier and I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry :(

You'll all be in my prayers.

[slick]

Logan, as I lay down to sleep tonight, I will say a special prayer for all of you and Murphy. I have lit a candle on my mantel for this sweet pup.

[popcornbird]

Oh Logan. :( My heart breaks for Murphy, for you, and for your family. May God comfort you at this difficult time. Hugs to you, and know that I'll be here for you if you need me.

[shais_mom]

My thoughts and prayers are on the way for you Logan and Scott and family.
Isn't is amazing how our animals know when WE need them more then normal?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Logan, I'm so sorry to hear about Murphy. :( My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Please take care.

[cyber-sibes]

Safe journey, sweet Murphy. Your family here will always keep your memory alive. ((( hugs ))) to you Logan. :(

[Logan]

Scott arrived home late last night, after 9. His children, their mother and stepfather were here to see Murphy. It was a very emotional time. Awkward for me, but she has been a huge part of all of their lives and I tried to handle it ok. Scott came home and was at least able to see Andrew and then he sat there, stroked that sweet girls's head and I almost had to force him to bed at 12:30 or so. We got up twice with Murphy during the night.

After I took Helen to school this morning, I went to the grocery store and bought Frosty Paws. I thought maybe Murphy would enjoy the cold treat since she had not been eating or drinking. She had no interest.

Scott, who was sitting beside Murphy, petting her and looking at her, and I talked again, then, and he said "what should we do?" and I told him he already knew my thoughts, Dr. Robinson's thoughts and I knew he knew what needed to happen. Then I called Patsy at Dr. Robinson's office and she said she was equipped and able to handle this if Scott was ready. He was not, very much still in doubt. I described to him what was happening in Murphy's body, dehydration, pain, etc. She was already shutting down. I doubt she would have lasted until Friday. I told him I simply could not let her suffer and I knew he didn't want to either. Shortly after that, my husband told me he was ready.

We put her in the Expedition, just like I did the other day and Scott rode on the seat beside her while I drove. It was quiet and neither one of us said a word. I just held his hand and he kept his other hand on Murphy. Patsy gave her that first injection that made her relax even more than she already was and left us with her for as long as we wanted.

Our Murphy departed for the bridge around 9:45 am. It was very peaceful and she had the two people she loved the most right beside her the entire time. As sad as I am, I feel a huge sense of relief that our girl is no longer suffering.

Our Murphy will be cremated, then we will bury her ashes in a special place in our yard. I plan to get a small stone engraved to signify this special girl's life.

My husband came home and washed her bowl and placed it in the windowsill. It will take me forever to not look for that girl leaning up against the entertainment center on her "big" bed.or have her dancing under my feet when she was ready to eat. I fell apart this morning when I was feeding the others and kept looking to see if she would show any interest, but she didn't.

Thank you all. I love you all so much. I loved that Lab girl so much too. I think I'm going to go bury my head in a Golden Retriever. Do you know that it was Honey's 7th birthday yesterday and I totally forgot? One of my friends, Debi, remembered, and wished Honey a Happy Birthday. We may delay our celebration a bit, but we will definitely do something eventually.

It's going to be a hard Christmas.

Logan

[Vela]

Logan, I am truly sorry for your grief. I know words are small comfort at times like this but I want you to know I wish you and your husband and family all the best. She is happy now, and no longer hurting, and as much as you will miss her she will miss you and be so happy for the day you see each other again. I have tears rolling down my cheeks for your loss and pain and I am very sorry. Her spirit will always be there with you and you will know it. Wishing your family all the best.

[Corinna]

(tears falling very freely) HUG HUG HUG I know the feeling Had to do it in spring. Buring head in reteriver helps 2 newfys here just laid down on each side of me as I sat on the porch.

Dear Logan,

My heart goes out to you at this time.

Sweet Murphy - rejoice now at the Rainbow Bridge, knowing that in God's time, you will be reunited with all of the humans that have loved you so much.

Now go play - enjoy your full restored health at the Rainbow Bridge.

You have earned it as your earthly job is done.

Love, Gini

[Ginger's Mom]

:( {{{Hugs}}} She will be waiting for all of you at the bridge, with love in her eyes.

Logan,

As I read your last post on Murphy's passing, I kept seeing the sweet
and beautiful face of Murphy from your pictures. :( I grieve with you dear
friend. Murphy's soul is free from all the aches & pains of age.

Rest In Peace sweet Murphy girl.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Now Murphy is pain free and up at the bridge playing with all of the other doggies. RIP sweet Murphy. :(

[Dixieland Dancer]

Dearest Logan,
I haven't been on Pet Talk for a couple months but something was telling me I needed to check it out today. My heart is breaking to learn of Murphy's crossing to the Bridge. May you find comfort in knowing she is now pain free and that all of you will be reunited someday.

As for Christmas, God will provide the peace that passes all understanding so this Christmas will be a blessing in some way. We can never see why or what until time has passed but you will look back and see a blessing out of this Christmas season somewhere.

God's Speed to the bridge sweet Murphy. You will be forever greatly loved.

Love,
Candy

[shais_mom]

L.E.S
Logan, I am so sorry for your loss and your family's loss.
Godspeed Murphy.
And I want to say that it was a generous and beautiful thing that while awkward - her 'other' family was there. I am sure they will never forget your kindness for that. Just typing that made my L.E.S way worse.
{{HUGS}}

[beeniesmom]

Dear Logan,
I am so sorry and am crying as I write this.
Murphy is in a better place now, pain free and running and playing like a pup.
I know this is no consolation. All I can say is that I am sorry and know how you feel.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh Logan, I am so sorry. :(

I know exactly the heartache and pain you have gone through in the last few days.

Even though right now it doesn't seem this way, the fact that she lived a good life, a long life, and knowing you did what was best for her in the end will someday comfort you. For now, I couldn't think of anything that would be more comforting than to "bury my head in a Golden Retriever." {{{hugs}}}

RIP sweet Murphy, you are already missed more than you know. :(

[Randi]

Logan, I'm SO sorry! :( :(

Sending you more ((((hugs)))

[lv4dogs]

(wiping tears from my face) Oh sweet Logan dear, my heart goes out to you in this time of need, to you & Scott. many {{{hugs}}} to you all.

Aw, Logan, you know you did the right thing. We are so lucky to have such special pets and friends in our lives. Murphy is at peace now. Sadly, we are all going to go to RB some day. Some sooner than others.

[Cataholic]

Dearest Logan and Scott,
My heart breaks for you and your family. What a truly sad time. You were so wonderful, so loving, so compassionate, and I just know that Murphy saw that. No regrets, Logan, no regrets. May we all go so peacefully, with a final goodbye to those we loved, and comforted by those two we loved the most. RIP, sweet Murphy, RIP. You have left holes so big in the hearts of your humans, and your fur siblings. May time slowly close them, with the warm memories of you inside tightly.

Love,
Johanna

[dukedogsmom]

Rest peacefully, dear Murphy. Know that there's always a place in your family's hearts for you. Many tears being shed for you.

[popcornbird]

Oh Logan. :( My heart hurts for you, and my eyes filled with tears as I read your post. May God ease your pain, and may the wonderful memories of Murphy help dry your tears. Big hugs to you, my friend, at this very difficult time.

[Karen]

Sweet Murphy, rest now
Your struggles are over
Your suffering done
Still your dark eyes shine
Forever in our hearts.
Sweet Murphy
With the whitened face of a graceful old age
Who in your own Labby way
Wagged your way into so many hearts
Watch over your family
We know it is a big job, so many to look after
But we know your heart is big enough
To hold them all, to hold us all
And when we see a yellowgold light on a tree
Or a flickering gold candle flame
We will think of you, this Christmas season
For surely you shine brighter even than those earthly lights
From your spot at the Rainbow Bridge.

[ramanth]

Oh Logan, my heart breaks for you. :( :( You gave Murphy such a long and wonderful life. Bless you.

[Cookiebaker]

Logan, I am so sorry about Murphy. I don't have any words right now, just gentle thoughts sent your way.

Its another reminder to cherish our furry friends every day, time goes so fast.

{{{Big Hugs to you and your family}}}

[AlleyCat]

I am so sorry about Murphy. Tears fall as I write. We lost our own beloved lab last summer to liver hepatitis. I know what you are feeling, and just try to take some comfort in knowing many here on PT are thinking of you right now. Godspeed to the RB, Murphy.

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Logan, I'm so very sorry, I'm only seeing this thread now.

I don't know what to say. I can't imagine what you're feeling.. Nothing that anyone could possible say will make your heart hurt any less now, but I'm sure you know that we're all here for you during this sad time and crying with you.

Rest peacefully, Murphy. We'll miss you.

*hugs* :(

[Logan]

I met all of you long after my most recent loss (before Murphy). Today has been one of the sweetest, yet most horrible, days of my life. I just wanted to say to all of you that I have sympathized with, expressed concern for, etc, that I probably never really understood or was able to express my concern before today.

Karen, thank you for your sweet words. I am sending them to Scott. We are both having a horrible time, as is Helen. In fact, Helen said "don't tell me", even though she knew......she just said she couldn't be sad again tonight because of her school responsibilities.........it just kills me.

Thank you all, but thank you especially, Cinder and Smokey......sweet words that mean so much.

I truly do appreciate all of you and your words of comfort. I will be back maybe tomorrow.

Logan

[captain]

Logan,
I have not been on PT much recently, and try to catch up on threads whenever I can.

I sit here in tears ........ knowing how much you loved that Murphy girl ..... I remember when you posted pics of her, just looking at that beautiful old girl face and smiling.

{{{{HUGS}}}} to you, Scott and all the other furkids during this difficult time.

Love
Michelle and the Spotties

[Vermontcat]

Logan, I am so sorry to hear about sweet Murphy. :(
I know she lived a good, long life with your family.
I feel honored that I got to meet her this summer.
I hope you don't mind if I post a photo of her that I took this summer.

[RobiLee]

Dear Logan,

I am so sorry that I am just now seeing this thread. I am sitting here in tears. I can't even come up with the words to express how much my heart hurts for you. Your words that you typed to tell us about Murphy have deeply touched my soul. I can feel the love that you have for your sweet Murphy and the pain that you are going through. My heart goes out to you and your family.

{{{HUGS}}}

[finn's mom]

Logan, my heart is truly with you. Please know that my mother and I are thinking of you. I told her of Murphy's plight, and, she was saddened even though she doesn't even know of you and your family. But, her heart and mine are with you now.

[slleipnir]

Dear Logan, I am at a loss for words, but I am truely sorry :(

[AdoreMyDogs]

Dear Logan,

I'm so sorry to hear about your most beautiful Morgan girl. I remember reading about her for the first time, and seeing her pictures. There's just something so special about senior labbies. I have always loved senior labbies, and I saw Morgan's sweet face and I just melted. She lived a good life. She was very blessed to have been with you for her last years, I know you were a blessing to her.

It really sounded like her trip to the rainbow bridge went very peacefully. It's very comforting to know that a loved one had a peaceful parting from this earth. I know it hurts, but it's also a blessing that she didn't suffer long. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope every day gets a little bit easier.

((((((Hugs from Graham, Kersey, Minion, Mindy and myself))))))))

[PJ's Mom]

Logan, I haven't been able to be here much, and I didn't know of Murphy's failing health.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I can't think of a dog more loved than Murphy.

RIP sweet Murphy. Play hard at the bridge.

[K9karen]

I still can't stop crying. I know what you've gone through. I know that sweet Murphy is now at peace, but I'll miss her terribly too. I'm so glad she came into your life, into your loving household. I wish I could hugs you in person.

[anna_66]

Logan I sit here in tears after reading this thread. I knew the time would come all too soon to send your sweet Murphy to the Rainbow Bridge. I'm sorry that your all having such a hard time with her passing and wish there was something I could do for you. I'm only a pm away if you need anything at all.

I'm so lucky to have been able to meet your sweet Murphy girl. Do you remember the pictures I took of her the day I was there when she had her big bone? She was so happy.

You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with your heartbreak.

All my love

[wolf_Q]

Logan I'm so sorry to hear about Murphy. She seemed like the sweetest dog you could ask for, and very much loved. I know how hard it is to lose a pet because you are also losing a family member. {{{Hugs}}} to you and your family.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I'm very sorry about your dog Murphy. It sounds like she left peacefully surrounded by love, which is the best one can ever hope for. Sharing your life with a pet that you love deeply is so wonderful, but it's very hard to say goodbye. I'm sure you'll see her again one day though and she knows how much you love her.

[gemini9961]

I am so sorry about Murphy. I just saw this thread and am typing through tears here. Play well at the bridge Murphy and to Logan, my best wishes to you and your family.

Dearest Logan,

I am just finding this thread now, I'm sorry I couldn't have been here earlier to offer strong thoughts and prayers, but please know I just lit a candle for sweet Murphy.

<3 Kara

[.sarah]

I am typing through tears. The way you express your love for your girl is so beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss, but be comforted knowing that she is whole, young, and watching over you.

I am so glad to hear that Murphy got to see her family one last time. I loved hearing that your other furkids knew it was her time, and came to comfort her and you. That is so beautiful, and it is something you will cherish forever.

Rest well, sweet Murphy. You are missed.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh...... I really don't know what to say, other that I love you, Murph, girl.. I know what it's like to have q Murphy girl die, that same people who used to have Bella bean, (the tri-color ESS), had a black/white Murphy girl, who had the sweetest face ever, (besides Beans face). I will always remember Bella and Murphy, my to favorite Springer Spaniels ever. As I sit here in tears, Logan, I want to give you my deepest symplthy, twards dearest Murphy girlie. She lived a wonderful life, and she was very loved. Logan... I am so sorry. :( :( :(

I sit here thinking why? why? did Bella Rose have to dart across the street after a cat, and get hit by a car...I can just imagine that, so horrible. She was only 3 years old.

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Sarah, you are such a dear soul. You feel other's pain as deeply as your own:( We all will miss Logan's precious Murphy. And I'm so sorry about your very special friend, beautiful Bella Rose:( What a tragic loss. She was blessed to have known your love and friendship. {{{HUGS}}}

[Sudilar]

I have a new computer now, after the crash of the old one.

It is so very, very sad to come back to the heartbreaking news of Murphy's passing. I know EXACTLY how you are feeling right now. My heart (what's left of it) goes out to you, Logan, and your family. I know the pain you are going through right now. I am so very glad that you and Scott were able to be there to send her gently on her way to Rainbow Bridge. I am also glad that those who loved her were able to see her, too.
I was crying my eyes out as I read this thread. Murphy had a wonderful life and I know she is watching over you now from RB. I hope Killian and Shiloh were able to introduce themselves and show Murphy around RB.
Again, I am so very sorry for your great loss..........I can't type any more because my tears are clouding my eyes.............
Big hugs.

[Logan]

Thank you, Sarah and Sue. I know you both understand as do so many others who have responded.

Logan

[ontariogreys]

Though I am new here, I would like to offer my condolences, I know only too well to pain, especially how difficult it is when the loss occurs during the Christmas Season, my 2 heart dogs both passed around christmas.

My suggest to you, light a candle in her honor , and allow her spirit to be with you during your Christmas celebration, have the family share their joyous happy memories of her as a gift to her, there will be tears but these are the tears to help heal the pain each of you feel


Christmas at the Rainbow Bridge (http://www.angelbluemist.com/christmas.html)
