Thank you all so so so much. I talked to Scottd after that last post and I mentioned how we had touched the subject before about what choice we would make if she were unhappy and I started to say "after being with her tonight and holding her" he interrupted and said "I couldn't do it." and I said "Me neither."
We are committed to doing EVERYTHING in our power to make her the happiest dog alive, whether she is handicapped or not. She has honestly changed our lives completely from the moment this happened. She has taught me to enjoy every moment because you never know when you'll get another chance. If I could go back in time I would have played with her so much on Sunday instead of spending my time setting up the house and letting her just follow me around and sleep at my feet. Never again. The people (and dog) that I love are so much more important to me. I will never take anyone for granted again. I just want her to come back to me so I can show her the best life she could possibly have because she deserves it.
April is apparently a bad month for me. Last year, out of nowhere, my mom had a stroke in April. Against a lot of odds, she fully recovered. She is on medication now for the rest of her life, and when she's really tired you can notice a slight slur in her voice, but otherwise you would never know anything happened. I only hope I can be as lucky with Layla.
I will check out that link now ladyjane
