Skeeter ..
She had health problems in addition to being blind and deaf;
enlarged heart, fluid around her heart & high blood pressure.
I was giving her medication for that. But then I found out she had
a brain tumor and she started having seizures and that was
not curable or treatable, and they were coming fairly close,
and I couldn't see her going through all that.
She had no quality of life. So for HER sake, I decided to go
ahead and take her to be euthanized. She's at rest now.
It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
We buried her in the front yard near the house.
I love that baby so much. I miss her terribly now.
She slept with us every night and everything seems so empty
without her. I have a hard time sleeping now.
I will never get over that baby
There has never been a more perfect little girl and I cry
for you every day. I will always have an empty spot in my
heart because you are gone from my life. I miss you, Skeeter,
and will always love you with all my heart.
It is with heavy heart that I write this e-mail about my little Poodle, Casper. I had to have him euthanized yesterday because of his severe heart problems. He had a lot of fluid around his heart and he got to the point that he wouldn't take his medication or eat and was going down fast. I had been away for over 2 weeks
and when I got home, he was glad to see me and wagged his little tail but it was time. He had no quality of life and it was so hard to see him that way. Seems I just finished burying little Skeeter a week ago when indeed it was 5 months, but it's so hard to lose them no matter what.
