My wife and I need your prayers and well wishes.

He is in a better place right now. And, my father in law and brother in law did something extremely nice for us. They built him a casket and my brother in law drew the Norse god Loki's symbol on the box. It was very touching.
 
Aaron, that was so wonderful of them to do that...brought a tear to my eye, for sure. You're very blessed to have such a family.
 
I was so hoping he would pull through. I'm terribly sorry Loki passed. People and animals come into our lives for a reason, even if its not for very long. I'm glad your family is helping with the loss.
 
My condolences to you and your wife. I was thinking of Loki on my way to work this morning, and how important the human bond with our fellow creatures is. I'm so sorry to hear the sad news :(
 
So very sorry for your loss. Its always so hard to lose a pet, they become such a part of the family. Worse even when it before their time. You did everything you could for him, and that is an important thing - I'm sure he felt how much you loved him.
 
This week has been very taxing. But, now I have to find all of Loki's toy's and box them up, because every time my wife see's one, she breaks down crying, and that gets me started again... Ugh! I hate loosing someone close.
We were talking, and it will be a little while before we get another dog. At least until we have a fenced in yard, only God knows how long that will be...
 
I am so sorry to hear that Loki passed away. :(
I lost a beloved dog to injuries from being hit by a car a little almost 8 years ago, & I still miss her terribly.
Cherish the time you had with Loki, he was brought into your life for a reason.
He will be waiting for you at the Bridge.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

To this day, I keep her collar on my gear shift in my truck...she's with me always.
 
I'm so sorry, this has go ME crying.
I was really hoping for a better out come and you did everything you could.

Even being with you for a short time was probably amazing, you seem like wondering fur parents.
I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you and your wife are okay.

I know what it's like to lose a pet and I have no idea what I'm going to be like when my time comes, all I know is what I wish I did when I lost my guy Levi was write down all my favourite things about him - or even better make a scrapbook.
You don't want to forget things about them.

<3

Keep strong, he knows you loved him.
 
I am sorry for your loss - please know that your family is in my thoughts. I hope that the knowledge that you did everything that you could for your precious fur-baby brings you comfort during this time. I am also glad to hear that you have a supportive and understanding family to help you. Wishing you healing and peace...
 
I am going to put his name tag on my key chain right next to my dogtags from the military. I still have my old dogs choke chain from before we had to put her down due to cancer. I know once I get to that Rainbow Bridge, that there is going to be a zoo waiting for me...LOL. I am a person of many pets.

He was a very cool dog, I will be very happy when we are reunited. I like to think that the family that has gone before me is up there playing with him right now.

It is definitely tough. I am used to waking up to him licking the back of my neck saying "daddy, come let me out side, and clean up my messes on the floor."
 
This might come off sounding kind of cold, and it is not how I intend it to be! I know that Loki is irreplaceable and always will be.....
but, when you do get that fenced in yard, and when you are ready to love again...why not go save a dog on death row to honor Loki's memory? Never ever to replace, but to say that in a way, you AND Loki saved a life that might be lost otherwise. I just know that something like that would have him smiling at you from the Bridge!
 
We plan on getting a rescue from a pound. I do not like that people keep breeding dogs without pedigree's just to make a quick buck and half of those little guys end up in the pound to be put down because the kids their parents got them for do not want them anymore. I just do not see how animals have become trash items for people to get tired of and throw away like that. I have always said it is a good thing that I do not work for the pound, because my house would be over run with cats and dogs and whatever else from death row.
I really like that Idea, and just told my wive what you said, and we both really agree with it.
Thank you.
 
Condolences for your loss. I'm so glad you'll wait for a safer, fenced in yard before you can get another puppy, and rescuing would be a lovely thing to do when you are both ready.
 
I am so, so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Loki. Sitting here crying like a baby, remembering some of my own family (both human and canine) who were lost to me too soon, too young. It's heartbreaking for you and your wife, I know from experience, and only time can help dull some of the pain of Loki's absence from your life.

I will think of you and your wife as you mourn the loss of your beautiful puppy, and hope that you can find comfort in each other and the love and compassion of your family and friends.
 
Thank you all so very much. This morning was really rough. When we went to the car my wife started kicking a pine cone, and it brought tears to my eyes, because no matter how many toys we got for Loki, he always chewed pine cones up all over our floor... He was a little goof ball, but he was a great little dog.
 
i am so sorry for ur loss, working at a vet i see cases like this all the time and who ever says it get easier looking from the outside has no idea....so my thought and prayers go out to u and ur wife.
