So sorry for your loss. I'm heartbroken for you. There's just never enough time and to have what little time you had taken away like that is devastating.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's not common knowledge that sago palms are so poisonous. Don't blame yourself. Kudos for sharing the info.

Really tough loss. So very sorry.

Sorry for your loss man.

There are lots of things we might not know that are poisonous to dogs...so for the person who calls you shitty for not taking care of your dog....I say They must be a fricking expert or just an arse.

I'll make sure your pup didn't die in vain at my house and make sure there's no Sago planted around me..and make sure there's none around if we ever go anywhere where my pups might get a hold to some.

You did what you could.

Truly sorry to hear this. I'm going to show this to my gf. She has several Sago Palms with pups in her yard that I've been asking to remove for this very reason for years. Hoping that this will finally convince her.

Damn, sorry dude, that's tough to hear.

I told everyone I talked yesterday to about this since reading it here. I didn't know about Sago being poisonous and I have several here.

I ask the OT to please refrain from telling me how shitty a person I am or that I'm an idiot for trying to save my dog.


shitty? Makes you an awesome person. Anyone who wouldn't try to save their dog is a shitty person.

Very sorry for your loss, she was a beautiful dog.

As an FYI, Sago palms are bad news for kids as well. If you have dogs or kids, the palms should go.

Pro tip: If you post on Craigslist that somebody can have it for free if they dig it up, some sucker will come do all the work.

I figured this out only after I dug up the two in the back, but at least I didn't have to dig up the beast in the front.

Sorry for your loss, OP.
