Devastating Loss of Gibson: Please Pray for Us
After losing my precious tabby Theodore just one week ago, our dear white Golden Retriever Gibson crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Friday night, just five days after Theodore.
He died in the family room of our house of acute heart failure. After being rushed to the ER – the vets found CANCER ALL OVER HIS BODY, and once it hit his heart – he was gone. We had NO IDEA that he even had cancer – just like with Theodore. The cancer took Theodore in 13 days. Who knows how long Gibby had it.
Gibson came to us as a neglected and abused pup and therefore really appreciated the simple things in life: a nap on the cool fireplace, a frisky run in the park with Dad and brother Benson, chewing a stick on the fresh grass, laying in the sun for hours, a few pats on the ears…Gibson even tried to mimic our cats’ purring abilities when he was really happy by making this noise in his throat and nose. It is too cute to describe really…
He would have been a GREAT therapy dog, and several doctors and therapists 
told us so over the years. He was calm, cool and polite to everyone, loved to get his treats from Dad (his favorite person in the WHOLE WORLD was Dad because Dad rescued him from the awful breeder), and he cherished his favorite sleeping spot, the leather armchair in the family room next to the TV.
Gibby was a very special creature sent to us to teach us how to be patient, peaceful, forgiving, appreciative, and most of all, loving.
Please pray for him and my family as we are beyond devastated at this point.
Losing two precious kids in five days is like a nasty curse that I have no words nor thoughts to understand.
Thank you friends,
Jaime

Jaime –
I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing a precious pet is heartbreaking, but to lose two in such a short period of time, I cannot imagine how difficult that is for you. I will be praying for your heart to heal.
I have just recently joined this website. I did comment on Theodore. I didn’t know you had a double loss. My family will be praying for you. Those of us that are blessed with the love of an animal truly understand that loss. I too have lost two at one time. However; it was my father and his dog Tasha, a golden lab mix on the same day Nov. 6, 2004. It’s a long story but they died 6 hours apart and one wasn’t without the other too long. I’m so sorry for your loss. Many Blessings to you and yours.
I just found this website by chance – I’m so sorry for your loss of Gibson. May his memories remain with you always…
