My eyes are swollen this morning, I cried every time I woke and thought of her. I feel like I lost my best friend. This has to be an overreaction, but I'm so hurt.

Big hugs... I don't think it is an overreaction. The love, devotion and loyalty you described in your other post sounds very special.

Oh, @stpete I'm so sorry for your loss. I saw your post earlier in this thread and I just want to add that you are so, so not overreacting. This was such a punch in the gut. How could your heart not be broken, to have lost that beautiful doggie so unexpectedly? She was a member of your family only a brief time, but love isn't measured in days and weeks. Take good care of yourself, and don't feel like you need to "justify" your heartbreak to anyone! I'd love to see a few more pictures of her if it'd help to share some.
Oh no! I had my fingers crossed. It is so hard to lose a family member! We had a huge scare and major surgery with our girl this summer and it was nerve-racking.
I know this is soon, but have you thought about contacting the breeder you bought her from? She had a lot of odd health problems in a very short period of time. I wonder if it could be some undiagnosed, underlying genetic issue. It won't bring her back but it might be something the breeder should be made aware of.
Oh no. I am so so sorry. I would be crying my eyes out. I.cant even imagine. Is there anyone who can take care of you right now?
I'm hurt from the tears. I've got family around now. I'm supposed to gtg with saraandmichael, ltp and marle tonight. I haven't decided if I'm up for it. It's been planned for awhile.
I talked to the emergency vet this morning. They said her body temp never came back up and it was hypothermia as a complication of the anesthesia.

Oh no. I would be out for blood. Maybe irrational but if my vet lost my puppy as a complication of anesthesia, I would have a very focused target for my grief.

@stpete - have they talked with you about what they can do to preserve her memory? We lost our beloved kitty this past summer and we have his ashes in a box. They also gave us some forget me nots we are going to plant this spring.
Big hugs to you. I really am so sorry. As sad as you are, I think you should keep your plans tonight. Being around people who love you and who would totally toast to Lula tonight might help.
I'm so so sorry losing a pet is one of the hardest things, especially when it happens so quickly. I hope you eventually find some peace knowing you gave that doggie the best life a dog could dream of. Hugs

It's not. I did the same think for two days when we lost our chihuahua. I'm so sorry.
I lost a dog at about 1. He got loose and got hit by a car. He was out of sight for about 15 minutes. He was my first dog ( not a family pet) and he was with me during a transitional time in my life. It devastated me.
You expect to have a dog only about 10 years. You mentally prepare yourself for the brevity of their life and think about all they will be privy to during those ten years. It is really shocking and sad when that time isn't what you expect:(
