I guess I should explain what my last entry meant....
Thursday afternoon my dog, Sadie, was taken to the vet. We thought that maybe her leukimia had returned. A tumor was found upon her leg and the Vet did some blood tests. What I guess you could call yesterday, since I haven't slept much at all, morning Sadie began vomiting. She lost all interest in food and barely drank water. In fact within thirty minutes of drinking she would vomit back up. The results of the blood work came back and we were informed that they were normal for her condition and that it wasn't the leukimia that was affecting her. We were given an antibiotic to give her in hopes that she'll get better. She only vomited back up though. As the day progressed she only got worse. She became extremely weak and could barely walk. So it was then that we realized we would have to make a choice.
At around one thirty this morning we drove Sadie to an emergency vet clinic. The vet there examined her and explained to us that her spleen had ruptured and she was bleeding internally. That even if he could do surgery she would only have weeks to live and that would be only if she survived the surgery. He said she would most likely die within a few hours as it was. At 2:20 this morning Sadie passed away.
She was a wonderful dog that everyone loved whole heartedly. It was hard not to love her, she was everyone's favorite. I know in my heart that we did the right thing. Putting her to sleep was the best choice available, it was her time to go. And while I know this, while I know that we've been blessed with an extra six wonderful years with her doesn't change how much I hate having to let her go. I love her so much and I know she's no longer in pain and can finally be free of her sickness.
I want to thank Aileen for coming over today and spending time with us. It meant a great deal to me. And thank you Derek for talking to me, even though you made me cry, at least you tried. And please if you leave a comment about how sorry you are for my loss please tell a story about her. Remember her in a positive light.
She is forever in my heart, forever a part of me and I will always love her.
