I have to go to sleep now and I hate the thought of doing that without her. Every since I brought her home at 6 weeks, she slept at my head. When she was little, she would share my pillow. As she got bigger, I got a little pillow and put it between my husband and me and that's where she's been sleeping ever since. How will I ever go to sleep again without her warm little body next to mine?
She had acute kidney failure, came on suddenly in the last week. She lost so much weight, she was like a skeleton. Broke my heart. The vet tried a lot of different things, but she's been doing poorly for the last few days. I've had no sleep for the last 3 days, because I was worried she would pass on during the nite. Last nite she had seizures, one after another, crying out in pain. It was horrible. I just kept trying to comfort her, knowing I was going to take her in to the vet this morning to get euthanized. We went as soon as the vet opened, and on the way (we live an hour away) she passed on in my arms, very peacefully. God has His own timing. I am glad it happened that way. So we turned around and had a funeral for her at home. All the other dogs came around (we have 6 rescues, and 1 other yorkie). They all looked at her, sniffed her and said their goodbyes. It was very touching. Our remaining yorkie, Lulu, seemed very sad today She slept a lot today. I can tell she is grieving. She saw Chewy go thru all that pain today.
Well, that's it. I'm grateful for the Rainbow Bridge poem. I will look at it often and that will help. :littleang
