I'm so sorry for your loss. Tango was a specail girl. Run like crazy at the bridge Tango!
You did what you knew was best. There is no reason what so ever for anyone to be mad at you. You made the effort and I know you would have saved Tango if you could.
Oh my, i am so sorry :( :(
What a beautiful girl...i am truly going to miss seeing her on PT.
Rest Easy Tango
{{{Hugs}}}
Thanks again everyone.
crow_noir, it's not Dance that I'm angry with. I love her, and I know it's not her fault at all. She's a great pup, a little irritating at times, but still a great pup. I certainly wouldn't want her to go anywhere. I guess I feel I'm just sort of preventing myself from becoming too attached to her for some reason, and I'm not sure why. It's really hard to explain.
Oh my gosh, Devan, I'm absolutely shocked to hear this. Never would I have guessed... I always enjoyed hearing about Tango and looking at all her pictures. She was so full of personality, you could tell by her photos that she was such a happy dog.
I had that kind of guilt when my RB Missy passed away. I felt awful everytime I did anything with Molli, as if I am betraying Missy for still loving another dog. Although, now I realize that I wasn't betraying her or doing anything wrong. The pain will get easier. (((HUGS)))
My thoughts to you today. Rest in peace, Tango, play hard at the RB. :(
I haven't been on PT for awhile, but to come back and see this thread is heartbreaking. I'm sure Tango is up running and jumping on the bridge with all the others we've had to say goodbye to.

I'm no shrink, but what you're feeling is perfectly normal. I felt "deserted" when I lost Cody. I felt betrayed although it wasn't his fault, of course. But the pain was so severe, and the memories, happy but excruciating. I will be totally honest, it takes a while to recover, but with each passing day, it does get better. Your wound is still deep. My bet is that you gave Tango infinite love and attention. We all know you did. You musn't think, in your grief, that you "shoulda, woulda, coulda" because you did. Nothing we can say will heal your heart right now. But Dance needs you too, and you will feel close to her when you least expect it.
Whether anyone thinks I'm loony, or not, I will admit I've had "Cody sightings" in various ways, and altho it's been 4 years, he's always with me. Tango wrangled into our hearts and will always be with us too, Devan. *Hugs*
I have to agree with k9Karen. I got Ginger very quickly after my Peaches went to the RB, and was sure that we were never going to connect. As a matter of fact for about a year I seriously thought of getting a second dog, because Ginger wasn't enough for me (she wasn't filling that hole in my heart). But that bond will develop. You can't stop it. ;)
Devan, I agree with what the others are saying. It's totally normal to not want to get so attached to Dance. Mark really had a very hard time when we got Roxey after Keisha died. I think it really took him 2-3 years to get attached to her.
(((HUGS)))

Hi Devan. I was thinking about Tango today, so I just thought I would see how you were doing.
Those new photos of Dance are very cute.
Devan, as you know I've been away. The day before I left, Tango was still at the vet's and things were up in the air. I just felt so sick at heart when I learned things were too bad for her to make it. I feel so at a loss for words. I know what she was for you, your heart dog and soulmate. I'm sorry I'm late in coming here to offer my sympathies. When I learned she had passed on to the bridge, I was in tears. I'm just so very sorry. I can only imagine how much you miss her. :(
There is certainly a shining and beautiful angel to join the Rainbow Bridge now. Run to your heart's delight now dear Tango. Watch over your family sweet girl.
Thanks again everyone. :)
It's been almost a month now, and it is much easier to deal with but I still miss her a lot. Especially this past week for some reason. I can't stop thinking about her, and sometimes I still feel just like I did on the 11th. At least I can talk about her now with people without instantly getting upset, but I can't talk about what happened on the 10th & 11th.Quote:

I'm so sorry for your loss - be at peace & know that you did the right thing - Tango is running and playing again now - I truly believe that. I'm sorry for your loss!
Sweet Tango, I'm sitting here in tears today. I was going through my YouTube account and watched your video again today.
You certainly were a special dog. You managed to touch someone that lives thousands of miles away from you and never even met you in person.
Hope you're having fun running at the bridge sweet girl. :)
Always, always on my mind and in my heart too. What a special, beautiful girl. Seeing her always made my heart sing.
Just checking in to tell you I'm thinking of you. Tango will be with you always. The wonderful memories are a treasure and those can't be taken away.
Thanks again you guys. :)
I know I don't update this thread as often as some update theirs, but most days I just find it too hard to come into Dog Memorial, let alone post in Tango's thread.
----------------------------
I love you so much, Tang. You were such a good girl, and such an incredible dog. The absolute best friend I could ever imagine, and I miss you still so unbelievably much every day. You were always so much more than "just a dog" to me. There are simply no words to describe what an amazing girl you were. I look at your pictures and want to cry, and I still often do. Almost every day. Anytime Dance does something you used to do, I miss you even more. I don't know why I was so fortunate to have had a dog like you so early in my life, but I wish we could have been together longer. Christmas doesn't feel the same without you, and knowing your birthday is coming up almost a month from now isn't very easy either. There have been so many times (these past few weeks especially) that I've wished I could come home and take you to the park and play frisbee like we always used to. Or even just sit on the couch together again, or toss the ball in the house for hours on end. I miss all of those things, and I still feel so guilty over what happened. I feel like it was all my fault because I invited you on the bed that night and you didn't come right away like usual. Instead I had to call you three times, maybe four, and I thought that was a bit strange but didn't really think much else of it. I thought you were just too tired or something to hop up. And then when you finally did, you only stayed for 10 minutes and jumped back down again - also unusual. You were probably in pain that night and if I'd thought to turn on my light and check on you, maybe you'd still be here today. Maybe it was the jumping up and then down again that made things even worse. I love you Tango, and I'm so sorry. I know deep down that it probably wasn't my fault and I couldn't have stopped anything, but you were such a healthy, happy dog otherwise and it just makes no sense at all.
Here's a picture of you taken last Christmas. Who would've thought then that you wouldn't be here one year later? Especially with your perky, ever so playful expression.

It's not your fault, I find almost everyone's whos dog passes they try and find a way to blame themselves.
It would have happened no matter what it was her time nothing was going to fix that.
She'll still be with you for christmas:)
Tears for you because I know how much it hurts. I think we all have guilt, even though we know we did the right thing. It's really hard to work through. Let Dance give you happy moments to ease that pain. Tango was one of the PT dogs that had part of my heart. I'm so sorry you had to be separated so soon.
Thank-You for giving me that picture ofTango
Yes, I loved Tango~ I have to admit it~ :o
*sigh* I miss your Tango too. I always enjoyed her bright face with her beautiful soft eyes. She is one of the prettiest girls I ever saw on PT, and just really touched my heart form the first time I saw her.
It is so hard when they're healthy & young, it just seems so incredibly unfair. I know how you feel, like even though you know it's not your fault, it somehow feels like there should have been something more you should or could have done. It hurts. With my Sherman, there was absolutely no sign anything was wrong until just a few weeks before he passed... And my heart just broke for you over Tango, she was gone so shockingly quick. But you & I were so blessed to have them with us for any amount of time. They were such special dogs.
There have only been two dogs who've passed here on PT that I bawled my eyes out for. Tango and critter crazy's Rocky. Even now reading your last post and seeing the beautiful picture of Tango, tears are again flowing.
Your Tango is one of the reasons I am a member of Pet Talk. There were a few dogs that I just thought were so stunning or cute that I just kept coming back to see what they were up to. Until I finally could not keep quiet any longer. Tango was a beautiful girl whose special qualities you were able to capture on film (or memory card) and share with all of us. I think many of us will always have a special place in our hearts for that gorgeous girl. As for me...she is still my computer background, and as of now, I have no intention of changing it.
I am sorry I missed this update. I don't like looking at dog memorial often, as it does get depressing. But please don't blame yourself for Tango's passing. Things happen for a reason. It was her time. How could you have known? I know Christmas must have been extremely hard for you this year. Hope it gets easier soon. :(
