Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Run Free my BEAUTIFUL Sweetheart

Sadie crossed over tonight. I can barely see the screen through the tears. I'm so upset right now.

Dear Johnny, You have our heartfelt sympathy on your loss of Sadie. Barb and Tootsie

Johnny, My heart breaks for you. I know that you both gave it your all. Sadie is now with some pretty special dogs and they are probably arguing about who had the best Mom's and Dad's. We all try our best to give them the happiest lives and I am sure Sadie had a great one. Hugs from California Penny

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Johnny, I am so terribly sorry. If you will post your email address, I would like to send you some items that were sent to me when Jack passed that helped a little. Mary & Molly (and Jack)

Johnny -- I was so sorry to check into the forum and see that Sadie has lost her fight against IMHAt. You know you did everything you could. Sadie is at peace now, so I hope that you will be comforted knowing she is comfortable now. I'm sure your memories of your wonderful life will help you through the worst of the grief.

We are crying with you. Sending hugs to you.

Johnny, I can't tell you how bad I hurt for you right now. Of all the people to have this happen to, I would wish this on you the least. Your constant support and concern for others make this seem even more unfair than usual. You, Sadie, and Tessy were chosen for a reason and that reason is beyond me. I feel your pain and I just want to say thank you for all that you do for people on this forum. It speaks to your character. Hang in there big guy. I'll hurt like nothing else in the world but you will get through this. -Darren

Johnny, I am so so sad for you and your devastating loss of Sadie. Cheri

Dear Johnny, of course I don't know exactly how you feel, but I have a pretty good idea. A broken heart pretty well sums it up. I was so sure Sadie would beat this with you by her side. It is so hard to accept, that all we do is not enough and really it is out of our hands. Kahlu will welcome Sadie at the Rainbow Bridge with an inviting play bow. He always liked the pretty girls! Sadie feels no more tiredness and pain... run free sweet girl! Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss of Sadie. With a big hug from the West Coast, Brigitte

Dear Johnny, I am shocked and sorry to hear of Sadie's passing. You did everything possible for her and she surely knew it. We are all with you and send you strength and support now. Take care, Aden

SO so sorry Johnny for your loss.... you are a wonderful owner and caring man....when it comes to being a multiple dog owner like you and me Johnny(you Cockers me beagles) its inevitable that we will come across more of the rare illnesses that can strike particularly our pedigree dogs. That does not however console us and we love them all equally and when we lose one we hurt just as much as the owner who has only the one doggy companion...I pray that in time you will learn to live with your loss and remember dogs leave pawprints on our hearts forever...Sadie will always be with you. Give Tessy a big big hug from Nollaig and me....sorry I haven't posted in a while...but I have been checking in regularly however been unwell and I was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease myself a few months ago namely rheumatoid arthritis so am now on immunosuppressants myself and I'm only 37(what a pair Nollaig and I are!). Also in a major car accident last week and am lucky to be alive...we all get our share of run of bad luck Johnny when it seems nothing is going in our favour but it will pass and you will regain your strength again. Take good care Kathleen and Nollaig

Dear Johnny I am so deeply sorry for your loss and I wish I had the right words to comfort you right now, but unfortunately I do not. Remember what Bridgett said no regrets, we all did the very best we could and as you know sometimes they just can't be saved. Please know that you are not alone and we are all for you. You have been such a help to all of us on this forum and now it is our turn to provide help and support for you. I pray for strength for you to get through the difficult days ahead. Your Sadie will be met by so many wonderful dogs at bridge. Again please accept my condolences. Cheryl & Ginger

Dear Johnny, I am stunned to hear about Sadie. What a very sad day. I know that you have done everything you could within your power. I think it is even harder on those of us who know all the details. And it might be easy to second guess what we might have done differently. Please know that I am positive you did more than any other person could have done to help Sadie. Stay with us on this forum to grieve, we will be here to listen. with much love, patrice

Johnny, So So sorry to hear of Sadie's passing. You have truly had more than your share the past couple of years. Sadie is at eternal peace now and as you have said she is running free. You have helped each one of us tremendously as we struggled to get through our darkest hours. I hope that you can draw strength from all of our positive energies now being generated to you and Tessy. The best my friend, Ron & Cooper

Ron L'land

this is just a heartbreaking disease I cannot even imagine how many actual dogs die of this every year. My friend just told me that the week Bonnie died her friend's Weim was diagnosed with IMHA 3 weeks post vaccination :(

Johnny, I am at a complete loss of words right now. It has been some time since I posted on here and I am so sad to read that Sadie lost her battle. I was really pulling for her to win. Johnny, we all know how much knowledge you hold about IMHA, and I know that you did everything you could for your Sadie. You are the last person who deserved to have to go through this. So many special angels welcomed her into the Bridge, Toqua included. It is never easy to say goodbye, and the pain doesn't go away for some time. But soon the memories will bring smiles and laughter instead of the sorrow you are now dealing with. Sending you my deepest condolences, and I hope you are doing ok. You are in our thoughts and prayers tonight. Jessi

Jessi BC

Thanks guys. I've never actually dealt with grief like this before. Not easy! I miss her little head laying on my lap as I type! Love you Sadie. Hope you have all kinds of laps to lay on where you're at now. Run free beautiful. Johnny Tessy Sadie

Johnny, I am so sorry to hear this news. Our prayers are with you and your family. Sue & Ren

Oh No!!!! I cannot believe this has happened to you! My heart aches for you and your loss. You, especially, did not deserve to have this happen to you. You have had more than your share of bad luck with your puppies. (I know how you feel as I have had two dogs diagnosed with auto-immune diseases this year,----(one of which has had "two" major surgeries---the most recent 4 weeks ago!) The other, Mercedes, continues her battle with IMHA. It is easy to succumb to these negative events, in our lives, so please try to stay strong and positive, through all this grief. Things just "have" to turn around for you soon. Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Maureen and Mercedes

I don't come on here as often anymore but still like to keep tabs on the pups fighting IMHA. I am so sorry to log on today and read about Sadie!! I will never forget your kindness and helpfulness as Riley fought his battle. My heart breaks for you! Sadie is surrounded by those who have crossed over already and is running free and fast! Take care; I'll be thinking of you in these tough first days.

Hi Johnny, I have been on holiday and checked in last night to see how Sadie was getting on. I am so sorry, I thought I would know what to write today but as you will know there are no words to comfort you. Take time to rest and don't be too hard on yourself - you know your stuff even more so than the vets. I just cannot believe it, life is so unfair at times. Sue

Dear Johnny. Sadie will now be met at Rainbow Bridge although 7 months since I lost my angel Holly I know she will be there at the gates with all our darling friends to meet Sadie. Look after yourself and remember they never leave us their love and devotion is all part of owning a dog and that never leaves. Until we meet againxxx God Bless Diane and Baby Honeyxx

Johnny, Your Sadie lost her battle a month before I even found this site..I am so sorry!!! You have helped me so much during my battle and confusion with Misty and I never knew what you went through. For that,I truly apologize...I know the pain of losing our family members and I just hope that they are all frolicking together up there. I hope you are hanging in there,God knows it is hard sometimes,,,but I still have to say,even knowing the amount of time we would have had with my dog,I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.....My Prayers are with you.......
