I totally agree...this is not the time to make a decision. Shellie, I sent you a PM.

Please give some thought to Cassie, too. She is sad and worried also.
We hold you and her in our prayers.

Praying very hard for Cassie right now...I hope you make the right decision, you know what that is, deep down inside you know. Keep Cassie, giving her up now solves nothing, it will not make things better. Keep doing what you do best, taking care of Cassie and somehow, I just know it, she in turn will take care of you.

Great advice from a very smart gal.

Thinking of you, and sending good thoughts.

Checking in on you and Cassie, Shellie. I hope today is a bit better for you.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. I am having Cassie stay with a trusted person from the ER. I am not making any decisions, we will take it one day at a time. I cannot care for her well at this time. I am too impaired. She will get wonderful care where she is going. In the meantime my father who has AFIB had irregular heartbeats last night, we just got a call from the cardiologist's office. So I cannot care for her in the manner she deserves at this time. My heart is heavy. I love her so. She is watching me silently as I gather up her things. But I feel as if I am being torn into a million pieces. Please pray for me.
Shellie

You are in my prayers! (((HUGS)))

[joyce evans]

Please know that many of us are thinking of and praying for you. My heart feels heavy and my eyes are tearing up just thinking of your pain. I am praying for your Dad as well as I know this has to be hard on him too.

You've had one of the terrible shocks and huge, knock-out punches life doles out to us all in some form or other but yours is freshly raw, all-consuming and you bitterly hate what's it's done to your poor baby, your world - the unfairness is so ugly, too oppressive. I know we all totally understand where you are right now and I and all of us that do are praying for you and Dad and Cassie. Rest and baby steps, deal with nothing you can put off, TLC yourself for a while. Take the time you need.

Shellie I am glad you are not making any quick decisions and that you have found a safe place for Cassie to stay for a while. by ER do you mean someone from the ER vet? In a week or so you will still be sad but recovering from the shock, at that time you will be able to make better decisions. In the meantime you can visit Cassie which would be good for you both. hugs and prayers Donna

[MauiGirl]

Prayers are still going to precious Cassie who bravely fought so hard to survive, thanks to your loving care Shellie. I hope your Dad is ok as well, and that someone is also taking care of Shellie. Who would that be? It all falls on you Shellie, so do take care of yourself too.

Hugs.

Shellie my heart goes out to you ,your Dad, and Cassie. Sending prayers for your Dad's health and recovery. I know he must be devastated as well. God bless you and send you all healing light to shine into the dark place your hearts are in now. I am glad you have found a temporary place for Cassie as you deal with your fathers health and the overwhelming stress you are under at this time.

I took her to the ER and after xrays they say she has nodular pattern in her lungs which are very wet and they can't tell if it is cancer or aspiration pneumonia because every time they take her out of the O2 for further diagnostics she starts to turn blue, so they are treating her with ABX for pneumonia, and at the end of day one there is no change. She is at maximum O2 and her breathing is still very labored. The xray that they took was poor imaging because they could not keep her from turning blue while she was out of O2, (it was a quick and dirty xray) so they have limited information from diagnostics.

I really think she is dying. I have a DNR for her. I cannot move. I cannot cry, I feel like a Zombie moving in slow motion. Please Please everybody, pray for my little girl. I am in shock, I think. She is just 6 years old.

omg I will pray!! for ur baby SHe cannot die!!

I understand your reasons, believe me I do. Take some time to take care of yourself so you can be there for both your dad and Cassie. I know your heart is in the right place...but you are unable to mentally and emotionally handle things right now, I get that. Remember baby steps is all it takes, one day at a time, one step at a time. We collectively, will be here for you, always. Take care my friend...I'm here for you.

She kept talking, trying to convince me it was alright, and I told said, practically screaming in the middle of Costco in front of a Vita Mix demonstration "YOU BRED A TWO 1/2 LB YORKIE???????? I said "I can't do this!" and I just walked away. The woman was a very obese (not a judgment-I am pretty obese myself!) handicapped person in an electric wheel chair or cart. I felt bad for her and I'm not a rude person, but I wanted to slap her face!!!!!!!!!

I kept thinking of my baby Cassie.

how much do they need to weigh to breed and how old should they be??
