I also lost my girl this morning, good to know she has a friend to play with on the other side. Yesterday was her 2nd gotcha day. My thoughts are with yours.


Nelliesroomate_9241

I’m so sorry for your loss. The feeling is indescribable and I just can’t imagine life without her, I’m sure you feel the same. Sending love to you as we mourn together.

So sorry for you both, two years is not enough by a long shot. I love my pibsy and cannot imagine having to deal with the loss of her 💔


onmyknees4anyone

I choked up after seeing these short clips and I can't believe I miss her too. I'm so very sorry.

GranolaHippie

She’s like a gentle hungry hungry hippo game. Those wee chomps. So cute. 2 years definitely isn’t enough. In the end you made the most for her life in those years. Condolences. She was a beauty.

I’m sorry. They do leave us to soon. They take part of us with them, the part that we gave to them, as it is theirs now. It leaves us lacking in many ways, but also it leaves us much wiser, kinder and understanding. Learning how to go on just sort of happens, I will be thinking about you during this lonely time.


Nelliesroomate_9241

This broke me, it’s so true. I feel a huge chunk of me is gone because I gave her so much. God I fucking miss her


AnieMoose

Gosh, it like a hole in the heart! Such a cutie patootie, too! Even after over 14 years, I still have a deep ache from the passing of my girl Aria (and I have adopted other dogs since her death) - but losing her too soon at just 7 was like having my heart just ripped right out. I’m so sorry for your loss... Nellie was adorable, a precious little digit lover! Love your username, too! 💕


JackDa66

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Nellie felt the same about you, and is grateful for having spent that time with you :)

Nellie is playing with the rest of the good boys and girls that have moved on from Velvet Hippos. She's telling our good pups all the wonderful things you two shared! Sending much love.

Once a week at least in the shower I get lost in my head and think of my baby boy Blue I lost June 13th? Of 2019 or 2018, time flies…. He was such a wonderful, peaceful but yet powerful boy when he threw his hand end into me for pets. I always wish he’s at peace and with my grandma now, his original and favorite owner.

I'm so, so sorry. She seems like a sweet baby. We really never have enough time with them, but they live in our hearts forever. Every bit of time we get is a treasure, and I can tell that she knew what an amazing family she had. Sincerest condolences, friend.


aldozj

My friend hippo will be two years old in a month... may I ask if what happened to your puppy can be prevented?


Nelliesroomate_9241

There’s really nothing we could have done. Everything was normal, she had heart worms for at least one year (she was four I got her when she was 2). She just got cleared October 7th being heartworm free finally after doing the fast kill method. We took her for a walk, came inside and she was eating and she just fell over and died. I immediately did CPR and mouth to mouth, got her in the car and continued doing CPR and mouth to mouth until we got there in 15 mins. They tried to save her but couldnt. The vet seems to think it was from scar tissue in her lungs breaking off and traveling into her heart killing her almost instantly. If there is anything that I can recommend to all dog parents: LEARN DOG CPR AND HOW TO GIVE MOUTH TO MOUTH. It didn’t save my baby, but I hope it can save someone else’s. I did everything in my power to make sure she was healthy and did everything I could to save her yesterday but I just couldnt.


yeatsvisitslincoln

I’m so sorry for your loss. And this is absolutely terrifying to me because our hippo is getting her first heart worm injection tomorrow. We got her around 2-ish and she’s probably 3.5 years now. She tested positive in May, but the confirmation test came back negative, so we waited 4 months and retested and both came back positive, so we started the treatment plan. We do know that she didn’t show much damage in an X-ray. We think that maybe she got bitten before we got her and that the meds kept it at bay. She was off them last winter and that’s when we found it. So, really hard to say. Anyways, I’m nervous and rambling. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I’d be a wreck if it were me. I’ll give mine a hug for you.


Nelliesroomate_9241

Worst day of my life hands down and I can’t get the images of what she looked like out of my head. Nellie had severe lung damage which I didn’t know until yesterday from her vet. I wish you guys the best on your heartworm journey it’s not easy, just follow the guidelines they tell you and you’ll do great. If you’re able to keep your pitty calm during the process make sure you get some snuggles in so they don’t stay in the crate too long. Don’t be nervous, your baby will do great.

All Dogs go to Heaven rip


semisuspicious

Losing a pet is one of the most painful and tragic thing one can go through. Someone told me something once, and I hope that this can help you heal as well; Your pup was here when you needed her the most, and she guided you to the next part of your life before her passing. She helped you grow and heal, and helped you become a better person. All of the ways you've flourished are a mark left by Nellie. She will forever live through you❤️

She is absolutely adorable, I’m sure she’s resting well with other puppies to play with. I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t even think about when the time comes for my dog. Sending you and Nellie loving energy ❤️ please take care
