 Still so sad...RIP Zima
I lost my little girl March 13, 2010. I can not get the memory of having her PTS out of my head. It was the worst day of my life. I still cry for her. The first few weeks the crying took my breath away. I'm a bit better than then but I am still so sad. She was 15 1/2 and basically healthy until a few days before Christmas she collapsed..I thought she passed away. I took her to ER and it was discovered she had CHF and kidney disease. It's so difficult to treat both diseases. We did our best and had her for 3 more months. I prayed she would go in her sleep but she was fighter as all yorkies are. That morning when she woke up she was having difficulty breathing and I knew it would be that day the decision would be made. We were syringe feeding her and gave her some water. I put her on her wee wee pad and picked her up...she vomited blood and we just scooped her up and brought her in. We held her and it was quick. I couldn't bear holding my dead dog so we immediately left after saying goodbye. It truly was the worst day of my life and I highly doubt I will be able to have another. The pain is so devastating. We have no children and she truly was our little girl and is deeply missed every single day. I realize now she gave me more than I could have ever given her. 15 years went by in a flash and I'd give anything just to hold her and kiss her one more time. |
