If someone had cared enough to spay her, she'd probably be with you right now. This is truly so sad and unfair that there is little more to say except how very, very sorry I am. At least this little one had a lovely last few weeks of her life, knew real love and caring, peace and safety. Her condition probably took her so fast she didn't know a thing and is now with God, well and happy, waiting for her new mommie - the one who loved her so.
And we know animals will be in Heaven as the Lions will lie down with the Lambs is something we're told to expect there and as there is no discrimination there, we know if Lions and Lambs are admitted, our doggies will be, too! I will be praying for your healing from this awful grief and some peace not too far down the road. Try to sleep and take care of yourself. Hugs to you from Tibbe and me. |
This is EXACTLY what hurts most of all. My vet and I both feel pretty certain it's the pregnancy that killed her. Had someone just spayed her, instead of using her as a cash cow, she would be laying on my lap right now.
But yes, my vet does feel this took her so quickly that there was no pain or suffering. She probably died so fast, she felt nothing at all. For that small bit I am grateful, but it just crushes my heart that it had to happen so soon, I was looking forward to showing this sweet littl girl just how good life SHOULD be!
