SHe tried to grab the leash . What a dear, sweet little girl. After all she had, she had a spunk to her. Iam so sorry for your loss. She is a beautiful angel. RIP little one .

| Thank you so much for sharing your heartache ... if it helps one person to recognize this horrible condition it's worth it. We will miss sweet little Mattie and I pray God bless and comfort you and your family.

Brenda had Mattie in to the vet several times following initial symptoms, for dozens of tests searching for a cause. From blood tests to MRI's, etc. Even on the day that Mattie passed (June 2nd) when this video was shot, Brenda and Mattie (if I read correctly) were awaiting a follow up appointment with Mattie's vet - - so it's not as if Mattie was left in this condition and it had gone untreated... Knowing her condition and that these may very well be Mattie's final hours, I think Brenda just wanted to document what she and Mattie were experiencing in an effort to help others recognize the symptoms. Brenda ADORED this precious girl... and did EVERYTHING within her power to care for her... Following the time that this video was shot, Mattie evidently worsened and Brenda rushed her to the vet before her scheduled appointment time... sweet Mattie rested even before her arrival to the vet's office - - the vet then informed Brenda that Mattie's tests came back that she had Granulomatous Menigitis, and Liver Shunt... Mattie would not have made it through such intensive surgery and treatment - so I believe that it's was God's will to take her home as quickly as He did. I hope this helps you to understand a little better.... Brenda, if I have mispoken or am incorrect on my account, please feel free to correct me.... just wanted to help Tammy see "the big picture".

| HI, Thanks so much Dena for clarifying what went on. I feel like I am reliving this all over again. I knew there would be someone that would question and wonder what went on. She had just been to the vets and we were waiting on test results. I had called the vet that morning to tell her that she wasn't any better and she wasn't eating or drinking..I had been giving her water by a syringe an food in a syringe. She still wouldn't eat or drink. It just ran out her mouth. The vet informed me that the test should be in that day. In that two hours she got worse.. she died on the way there. I even tried to give her CPR. I was a Nurse and no all the procedures. I tried. I was exhausted from being up for 3 days with her. I wouldn't sleep untill I seen she was okay. But still not a deep sleep. Really, I tried everything. The the test came back she had Liver Shunt and GME.I had taken her two other vets. One thought I was too protective of her when he told me I should separate my feelings from her being a dog and not a person. I left that office immediately! First saying he came highly recommmended to me , but you should'nt be in the business at all. You have no compassion to be in this business. I then went back to my regular Vet again. This is the one that was waiting on the test. She told me that Mattie wouldn't even would have made it thru the surgery. She was too small and weak.. Even if they did put shunts in her brain she wouldn't had made it. I spent over $3,000 on her and was willing to spend more. I didn't care.. It's just money. Mattie gave me love, made me smile.. and was there with me when I was down an lost my sisters, brothers, mother, father, and all my surgeries.. She was always so sweet an gave me kisses. She was my heart. So it's not that I didn't do anything to help her. I DID! I still feel sometimes I wish I could do more. If she hadn't passed then I don't think I could have put her thru any surgery. She was so small and helpless. She was healthy when I got her at 14 weeks. She was a 14mths old when she passed. I am sorry if anyone thinks I didn't do anything. It's your opioion and I respect that. I said my piece.. and Thanks Dena for supporting me and clarifying this to everyone. I just wanted everyone to see and identify the symtoms before it's too late and we lose another little one. I am sorry if this offended you.
