I just came across your poem this morning...Thank you.
I lost my sweet little Lilly last night. I had only had her for three weeks, I knew that she had major helath problems when I brought her home. She had a severe heart murmur and luxatting patellas in both back legs. What none of knew was that her heart was enlarging. I had her to our vet once a week and last night she started having trouble breathing. I rushed her to our vet and he did everyhting he could. But her little heart had enlarged so much just in the past few days since her last visit, that it actually collapsed the trachea. Doc said it was just too sever and she was too ill to save her.
My heart is broken. I can't stop crying and I have no idea what to do with myself. I came online to see what others may have experienced and here was your poem. Thank you again.
