RIP Zeus:(

Do you live on the east side of London? We are near Argyle Mall. I know Bailey would love to come and comfort you. She recently lost one of her cousin dogs, and she misses him.

I lost one dog to a car when I was around eight. It was traumatic. The doctor who hit him stopped however, and I raged at him with all the fury of a hysterical child. My brother tried to move the pup and little Spooks bit him. He couldn't be saved.
It is no comfort to know that some irresponsible person, racing down a country road, full of themselves and showing off their sporty vehicle, runs, like a coward from your rage. No matter what they do in the future, they will forever be known for this one act. It will frame their future, whether it is known by their friends or only by themselves.

I know that you can't replace Zeus, but in time another dog will allow your family to heal. Our second Beagle was an enormous blessing, he lived almost 15 years. He had our entire family wrapped around his paws. The love that he left behind lives on and is beyond expressing.

PM me if you'd like us to pop around. My Bailey is the same age as your Zeus.

I am so sorry for your loss. Is there even a remote chance that a neighbor saw the car? Is your area wired with CC's that may have seen what happened? It is disgusting that someone just left him on the side of the road. There is a special place in hell for people like that.

So sorry- this is truly heart-breaking.

I agree with the karma comment earlier; there is always an effect to the causes we create.

Thank you friends for all your kind words, I appreciate it more than you know. We made the arrangements yesterday for Zeus' cremation. I can't bear the thought of not having him with me and burial is not an option...I loved my boy so fn much, my heart is aching...Zeus' girlfriend Lucy (boxer next door) came to the back door last night to visit like she always does, I let her in to say hi to everyone, and she went all through the house looking for her beau...I couldn't stop the tears. The silence is killing me, he was such a BIG presense in our house. We have decided we need to get another baby, not to replace our boy, as that will never happen, but to fill the hole left in our chest where he once was. I will not get another Cane, but we are thinking either EM or Bull..I guess when the time is right, our new baby will find us. What are your thoughts on these breeds?

Tie into the London Human Society's Website, they have had several Mastiffs recently. They even had a deaf Dogo.

My daughter's neighbour also fosters dogs and she has had several mastiffs and mastiff crosses. I know she had a sweet little DDB a while back.

Looking on line gives you distance and perspective without creating a Tsunami of emotion. There are so many great dogs waiting for homes. Good Luck.

Thank you, I have been checking LHS and other rescue sites, I would foster, but I have a dominate female Bernese mix and a pug with hip dysplasia. The pug thinks she is a mastiff and liked rough play with her brother (Zeus) but she has been to the vet twice in the last month for injuries. She currently has an eye stitched shut until the swelling goes down. So I would be looking only for a male and one who has a calm temperment and is good with kids, small dogs and cats. It significantly narrows my search:( To answer your previous question, I live rurally, south of Aylmer, and I would love to see your Bailey, but I just think things are too fresh for me right now...I'd probably be a blubbering mess! We did receive a "lil msg" from Zeus this morning which made me smile and cry at the same time....Zeus loved to tear apart the bag of potatoes, never leaving a mark on the potatoes, he just loved the bag. Today I found a potato in the middle of my kitchen floor, unmarked....my current bag of potatoes is unopened....he is just letting me know he is still here:)

They have their ways. Take comfort from it.

Just send a private message if and when you feel up to a visit.

Take care. My thoughts are with you.

Such a tragedy! And such a shame that a-holes like that fruck exist in this world! I'm so so sorry for your loss, and I'm sending prayers and healing your way, which will hopefully help. Fill up that void with happy memories with Zeus. Like you said, I'm sure he's watching, and he's happy across the bridge.

I'm so sorry no parent should have to go through that!!!!! and for that MOTHER F*(&#$ Karma is a B*&$% that POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw this on a post from Ruby55 and i thought it might be appropriate

I Stood By Your Bed Last Night

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew, in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me. - Author unknown ♥
