 How to deal with letting go...
As many of you know my sweet 3-year old Chelsie had a severely collapsed trachea and has now had three major surgeries.
Breifly~
In July she had stent surgery, followed by a laraynx tieback due to it being paralyzed from the stent surgery.
7 weeks post op. the tieback failed and she required a bilateral tieback...
Bad deal, left her airway completely open, and exposed.
She unfortunately is not doing well at all, due to a constant battle with pneumonia.
The last few days have been exceptionally hard on her, and she is getting so weak.
I'm having such a hard time dealing with the reality of losing her.
She still seems like such a baby, it's just not fair.
I know I have done everything I can to save her, but it is obvious that the sparkle in her eyes is fading.
The thought that I might have to put her down just absolutely breaks my heart...
I pray it doesn't come to that...
I know everything happens for a reason, not sure about this one~
The breeder gave me Lydia (3/4 Yorkie 1/4 Maltese) in October.
She is the sweetest little blessing. So happy and playful.
It helps to have her around, it's like she was sent to brighten up the day,
and take away a little of the saddness...a little angel.
