Aw, thank you for caring so much. I'm afraid the news is not good. She crashed again over this weekend and wouldn't eat. She hasn't eaten since. She will have to be euthanised tomorrow, if I can get my husband to agree. He adores this little baby and is so bonded with her. He is finding it hard to let go. I keep telling him that it is selfish and unkind and he must let her go. He has asked God to just stop her heart, so she won't have to be euthanised. She hates injections. I can't let it go on, though, so I will have to do something tomorrow morning if she is still with us. She sleeps most of the time and drinks water every now and then. My big fear is that dehydration will get so bad that they won't be able to put in the IV for the Pentobarbitone solution, and it is more uncomfortable for them if they cannot use an IV. I keep telling my husband this, but I cannot get him to be rational, as he is in so much pain. I pray that she will go tonight, peacefully in her sleep. My husband does not want her cremated, as he says nobody is going to burn Toots. I have to order a basket or pet casket to bury her in, but there won't be time. It's all so horrfic. I don't want the vet to put her in the freezer, while I wait for the basket or pet casket to arrive. I don't want to have to collect her frozen little body from the vet the next day. I have cried and sobbed the whole day, but do it in another room, as I try to be upbeat around Toots and just keep telling her what a treasure she is to us, how much we love her, what a good dog she has been, how much joy and love she brought into our lives. She really was the sunshine in our lives. It made us smile just to see her. How hard it is going to be to come home to an 'empty' home, for she won't be there. Will it even feel like a home without her. I don't know how one copes with this pain, I really don't, but I have to be strong, I know. I keep praying for strength. I dread the days ahead without my baby girl. My heart is completely broken.
