I am so sorry about your loss. It brought tears to my eyes. I found out Lacey had kidney failure while I was at work. I called my mom at the vets to check on her. Right at work, in front of customers and co-workers, I started bawling and had to excuse myself. We had to take her every other day for fluid shots just to keep her alive. Then, right around my birthday, (June 25th) she took a turn for the worse. She would not eat at all. NOTHING. Not even her favorite boiled chicken. She was down to 2 pounds. Skin and bones. We could not even get her to drink water. And yucky yellow fluid starting coming out her mouth. She was so weak she could barely get out of her bed. Except on the last day, she wanted to be in my mom's lap. On June 30th, we knew nothing more could be done, and did not want her to suffer any longer. So my mom put her to sleep. I was at work that day, so never got to say my last goodbyes. There is no way I could bring myself to be there at the vets. Way too painful. I cried and cried. It is almost 4 months later and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Lacey. I still cry. I am presently looking for another Yorkie puppy right now, but not having much luck. No puppy will ever replace my Lacey. I had her for just over 13 years. But, I still have a lot of love to give to another. Again, I am so sorry. You can PM me if you ever need to talk.
