I was truly hoping this little guy would make it. He seemed like such a fighter. At least now he is in peace and no longer feeling any pain. I am very sorry for your loss <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />.

Lynn, I am so sorry. I wish there were words that described how much we all grieve with you and Zack. Ozzy fought hard, and I'm glad you were able to be with him when he died.

If you get a necropsy and have a histopathology, I hope you'll share that with us. There's so much we can learn from Ozzy.

Im sorry for the loss of your glider. Im sure if he could comprehend all that you did for him, he would be truly gratefull. You will be in my prayers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I too am glad we were with him. And I am really glad that this happened on a Sunday when I could be home with Zack.

Zack has decided to have a necropsy. He said that he hoped they could find what was going on so that other gliders didn't have to die like this. The vet said they could do a "cosmetic" necropsy so that Zack could bury him later.

Yes, I will share the results. Hopefully they will find something specific.

Lynn

Oh Lynn.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> I am so sorry for your loss.

You have been a true role model for all of us. Know that we mourn along with you at this time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

I just can't stop crying. I was with you thru every post pulling for you all. I can't even comprehend how you must be feeling. All I can say is I am truly sorry.

Oh I am so very sorry to hear about Ozzy. I know he is with the others that crossed over to the rainbow bridge now and is waiting till he meats you & Zack again some day. He put up quite a fight and was a strong glider with a big heart which has touched us all. I will keep you and Zack in my thoughts and prayers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

I am so, so sorry for your loss. You and little Ozzy really had a tough time. You both fought so hard. He is now at peace and doesn't have to fight any more. Sending thoughts and hugs your way to ease the pain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Ozzy was so full of life and thus had a difficult time exiting. However, now he is at peace on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frostyangel.gif" alt="" />

May time help heal your broken hearts. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

You, Zack and especially Ozzy put up a brave fight.....he's at peace now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gliderangel.gif" alt="" />......our thoughts are with you guys....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

I am so sorry to hear Ozzy has passed on. Ya'll are in my <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> and prayers.

Lynn, I am so very sorry Ozzy lost his fight, but what a good try he gave his all. We are all very sad with you right now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.

Lynn, I am very sorry about Ozzy. Did you put him back in the cage with Zack so Zack could say goodbye? Merlin

Yes, we gave Chip (Zack's my son) several opportunities to be with Ozzy. Each time, he'd sniff him and go back to sleep. When we put Chip in his cage for dinner tonite, it was really odd. Chip started marking his scent along the areas where Ozzy was when he was last alive. We've put a stuffed toy in their sleeping pouch, and have left the pouch that Chip and Ozzy shared in the cage. Hopefully, that will be some comfort in the coming days. I was expecting Chip to be barking tonite -- He usually barks when he can't find Ozzy, but so far everything is quiet.

Lynn

I am so sorry Lynn
Certainly wish I could of been more help to Ozzy
So glad you were with him - many <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

That is so sad. I hope you and your son are ok and Chip as well. I am so sorry that he lost the fight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Seeing this post just tore my heart out. I am so sorry for yours and zack's loss. Please know we are all here for you both. You are some of the best glider parents I know and have been through a lot with Ozzy and I'm just so happy you were both able to be there at the end. Ozzy knew how much he was loved and he lived a happy life with you both. He is at peace now and no longer has to fight against this illness. I'm sure you will all meet again some day. The pain of losing a loved one is really hard to go through and please know you will both be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Lynn I'm so sorry that you lost such a valiant fight. I think the best thing is that Ozzy knew you and Zack were there for him and that you loved him. Ultimately it is better that he let go if living only meant suffering. Huge hugs for you and Zack..I hope in time you both feel much better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gliderangel.gif" alt="" /> [:"magenta"]i am so sorry to hear about ozzy. at least he wasn't alone. i am very proud of your zack! he is doing a wonderful thing by having a necropsy done. please let us know the results. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> [/]

Lynn, I am sorry Ozzy didn't make it. You and Zack did all you could.

I'm so sorry you lost ozzy.!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

[:"blue"]Words are so inadequate at times like this, but I know Ozzie was glad to be with the ones he loved at the end. I too have lost a glider after a long illness and it seemed to be easier for her that she was with me.

I will now move Ozzie's story of courage and strength to Real Stories. [/]

things like this shouldn't happen. . . i am so very sory.
