Very Sad Day

April 8th, 2008 by Evil Beet


Tragically, little Charlie went into respiratory and cardiac arrest last night, and they couldn’t resuscitate him.

He was only in my life a very short time, but he made a huge impact, and I will miss him terribly.

At least he’s not sick and suffering anymore.

I love you, little guy.

  3. Alicia says:

    Aww, Beet, I am also soooo sorry to hear about Charlie. He was definitely adorable, and his pictures made us smile too. I loved reading all of the cute stories you shared with us! I will keep you guys in my thoughts <3

  4. Rob says:

    I’m so sorry the adorable little guy is no longer with you. It is so easy to get attached instantly to such a cute little puppy and my best wishes are with you. Take care.

    I had a Pug puppy for two days. Igby was hydrosephallic, he did really well for a day and the next day he was screaming bc he was in so much pain. The breeder put him to sleep, I cried and cried. I am so sorry for you. It doesn’t matter how long you had poopy for, you loved him and it doesn’t hurt any less.

    OMG…I’m so sorry…

    My brother’s dog had parvo and he almost died. It was great suffering for us all ’cause we are a dog lover family. But, despite all, the dog survived. We still don’t know how he survived and even the vets were surprised he survived. Parvo is very deadly and almost 90% of dogs die.
    I don’t know how much pain I would have if any of my dogs would die of parvo.

    I am very, very sorry for your loss.

  9. Kelly says:

    I’m so sorry to hear about Charlie, Beet. He was a sweet little pup and introducing him to us made him part of all of our families too. You’re in all of our thoughts.

  11. Caty says:

    I’m so sorry you lost your pup. Because we love dogs I suppose we know how you feel. Remember the times when you were together and how happy you made him, I’m sure wherever he is he thinks of you also.

  12. Mary says:

    Barkley and I are so sorry. He says all dogs go to heaven. I think so too. There’s another little puppy somewhere in the world waiting for you.

  18. anon69 says:

    So very sorry….

  19. From Boston says:

    Your website helps me laugh while maintaining my horrendously boring 9-5….I thought that Charlie was just adorable and was looking forward to more posts about his cute antics…from one animal lover (and a big fan of your blog) to another, just wanted to say I’m sorry for your loss.

  20. Just Visiting says:

    I know how hard it is to lose an animal you love dearly. And, I also know how painful it can be to watch him/her suffer. The only thing that I keep in mind is that they had happy times and were loved while they were alive. You did your best and you showed your loyalty. I am sure that in Charlie’s short life he was never more loved.

  21. LDTLG says:

    R.I.P. CHARLIE

  23. BT in SA says:

    Everything has already been said. As a mom of two four-legged Kids, and a mom who lost one very dear four-legged Kid several years ago, I share your pain. With sympathy to you from far away in The Sandox…

  24. ac says:

  30. Elizabeth says:

    Oh Beet. :( I am more sorry than I can say.

    Rest sweetly little Charlie.

  31. Lynn says:

    I’m so sorry. Its better that he went quickly, than a prolonged struggle and suffering, but even so, this is just very sad news and I really feel for you.

  32. LuxLasVegas says:

    Sweet Charlie Baby,

    We all love you and will say prayers in your honor. You are happy and chasing kitties and eating peanut butter treats in heaven. I’m so sorry, Beet. I have a baby doggy of my own and can feel your sorrow.

  33. enny says:

    I’m so sorry to hear this – we adopted a shih tzu from the pount who died of a brain tumour (he had him for less than two years) and only shared the story of him and his teeth on the weekend.

    Time will help a little but you can take heart in that he was very loved in his short happy life.

  34. Jessi says:

    Beet, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I’ve lost several pets in my life, and it’s a very devastating thing to go through.

    Just remember, little Charlie will forever be in gratitude for trying to save his life. Though his life was short, he received a lot of love and care, and that’s what’s most important.

    He has a great Mommy. :)

    Hang in there, sweetheart. Just remember… he’s not suffering anymore.

  35. poobrain says:

    i’m so so so sorry, thats horrible!
    but like everyone has said, you did everything you could – he’s in a happier place now :)
    keep your chin up, your luck will turn soon enough

  36. Jerry says:

    Things like this should never happen. I’m sorry too, I don’t know you, but you go through the trouble to keep us informed, and entertained, and its not just like watching the news, because you tell it your way, it seems more personal… any way Hope something wonderful happens to you today!

  37. Goodpotato says:

    I know I might be alittle late but,

    Im extremely sorry for your loss.

  38. MeaghanM says:

    I never leave comments, but I know what you’re going thru..I’m so sorry for your loss. At least you know he died happy and loved.

  39. Leslie says:

    I firmly believe the Rainbow Bridge idea (my Fred is there too, I’ll bet!). My heart goes out to you, dear. Stay strong.

  40. Aurora in Boston says:

    Oh Charlie, at the Bridge you will have some teef to chew a rawhide, and you wont have parvo and you can play and run and feel like a puppy should.

    Beet, I am so sorry. I just had 2 of my ferrets put to sleep within months of each other, and its devistating.

    My heart breaks for any animal that leaves us.

  41. Rosane says:

    I’m really sorry for your loss.

  42. Gloria Martinez says:

    oh my god, didn’t you very got him.and he was so cute my prayers are with you.

  43. Slouchy says:

    I’m so very sorry for your loss, Beet.

  44. Elizabeth99 says:

    I think all these comments are your guide back to faith. I can’t even imagine what you must feel like right now and I’m sitting here at my desk tears flowing… people looking at me like I’m insane. It’s always very sad when people loose their pets but it’s devestating to feel like you’re loosing your faith when it’s got you through so much. You are a complete stranger to me but my heart is breaking for you right now. I think the fact that so many people all over the place are mourning with you and don’t even know you should show you how powerful God is. I’m not religious either but God and faith are a whole different story.

    Cheers to you and Cheers to Charlie! Tonight we all drink to Charlie!!

  45. Jaker007 says:

    Oh Beet! Hang in there! You made Charlies life better for the time that you were in it! HUGS!

  46. Caz says:

    I cry if my fish dies so I can only imagine what you are going through. Best wishes to you mate you’ll get through this and i’m sure Charlie will be looking out for you in puppy heaven and whe you are ready he’ll send you another puppy friend to love and care for and who will love and care for you too!

    Just know we are all thinking of you mate!!

    Love lots Caz xoxo xxxx

  47. Jessica says:

    The pet shop owners should fuck themselves.

    Anyway , i hope you get another puppy that makes you just as happy

    OH NO!!!! I am so sorry, and I am glad that you are exposing that crap Pet’s Landing Place for this.
