We have lost Leo

[Alysser]

First of all, I want to say that no one has a right to judge your husband for his actions, while tragic, these things happen. Even if he was there, something still could have gone wrong. Accidents happen unfortunately.

I am so sorry for your loss of dear Leo. I remember his introduction thread and how happy you guys were to have him. May the handsome little boy rest in peace. I am again, so sorry and I hope your husbands guilt fades soon. (((hugs)))

Oh no! I'm so very sorry you lost Leo. Accidents happen, even to the best pet owners. It could happen to any one of us. It only takes a second. Your husband should harbor no guilt. Leo was very loved. {{{hugs}}}

I agree 100%.
I am so sorry to read of Leo's passing. (Hugs) to you and your husband.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Leo - such a tragic accident.

Rest in peace, Leo!

(((hugs)))

Rest in peace, little one. It was an accident, and no one is at fault. He was blessed with love and that is what matters. You'll see him again some day at The Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry you and your husband are going through this. RIP Leo, and hugs to your husband that he realizes it was a tragic accident and not his fault.

Thank you for your kind words everyone. We are so very sad today and the house feels so quiet and empty without our fuzzy little boy wanting to play and be petted.

We went to a dog rescue event this morning in a nearby town; Eight different rescues fund-raising and looking for homes for their rescued pets. I kept thinking Leo would have loved it - he was very sociable! But it made us feel incredibly sad. I hope he is enjoying himself at the bridge.

Very sad to hear about Leo. Its so hard to lose them in an accident, they're gone so quickly, but he knows he was deeply loved. Hope your husband can be at peace with this, when its the appointed time, no one can add even a minute to a life. Its just out of our hands.
Play sweetly at the RB Leo, and watch over your earthly family, they still need you.

I am so very sorry about Leo. I wish I could be there in person to
deliver big hugs to you both.(((Hugs))) Rest In Peace little man. You were
so loved Leo.

I have a friend and the exact same thing happened to her. She was devastated. But these things happen and your husband should not beat himself up anymore than my friend did over her pup.

As someone else said, Leo probably got more love in his short life than many dogs who live into their old age.

Hugs for you both - you need them right now.
