 Last Week
I know I'm new here, and I apologize for having posted this in the wrong place last week. I wanted to repost it here today where it belongs.
I want to thank you all for your kind words and prayers. Sunshine, my beautiful baby girl (the light colored beauty in the foreground) passed away in my arms shortly after sunrise yesterday. We did everything we could for her, and she fought just as hard as her little body could. We found out that the entire right side of her heart wasn't functioning, and her pulmonary artery had so much pressure on it that she couldn't breathe. The specialist had given us a sliver of hope, and we grabbed onto it with both hands. We started her on 4 different medications on Wednesday, but after a rough night of almost no sleep, after a morning trip outdoors my dad rushed her up the stairs and into my arms, sobbing that she was leaving us. She breathed two deep labored breaths and then was gone. We smile about the lovely rotisserie chicken dinner she had that night as it was the only thing we could get her to eat, but boy did she eat it up. My mother brought white roses for my little sweetheart and a special soft blanket to wrap her in, with her beautiful flowers. She always did love to press her nose into any flower she came upon to smell it. We are all so lost right now, especially my other baby Shadow (the dark one in the background of my picture). We let her sniff Sunshine's face before we had to wrap her lovingly up for her final trip to see our local vet she loved so much. Please keep poor lost little Shadow in your thoughts. We are all so heartbroken, and sadly I must face work today. I put every ounce of energy and all of myself into trying to save Sunshine's life over these past few days. Thanks you all for your understanding and caring. |
