I went to the doctor after work and he put me on some wonderful meds. I got home; I had to have my son help me get changed. It was actually pretty funny watching him keeps his eyes closed while trying to help. My sister was kind enough to pick up my pills (I could not wait an hour for my meds, so I went home). Saturday I slept most of the day. Sunday is when all hell started breaking loose. Carin started howl/barking in pain, I sat straight up! Talk about seeing stars. She started running in circles (accidently peed on Tyler, cause he was sitting on the floor). I tried to get her outside, I thought she had to go potty. Less than a half hour later she did the howl/bark again. That is it, she is going to the doggy ER. We got there and were brought back to a room. I have no idea how long we waited before anyone came in. Carin had a temp of 105+, finally the doc came in and said she should stay there and they will run all these tests, and do x-rays and blah, blah, blah. Last time Carin was away from home at a medical clinic she came home with a pretty good cause of depression. Knowing she was close I told them no. Give her some doggy Tylenol (for her temp) and something for the pain and we will call it a day. That is pretty much what they did. If it was her time I didn’t want her to be with complete strangers. She had two more howling/barking episodes while we were there and no one bothered to check if she was ok.
It might have been the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I know it was the right thing. She tried to hold on as long as she could. She left knowing she was loved by many and that her family will be ok.
Good bye my beloved friend and companion.

I am so sorry! I agree...It is so hard to make that decision and say goodbye to a beloved member of your family. Hang in there! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better too!
To steal some well written words from my friend Lynn: RIP peace "Carin", your life was SO WORTH sharing with the world. The "Rainbow Bridge" is an awesome place to wait for that day when your mommy will join you and you will be together forever!! My babies are waiting for me there too. That helps give me great peace. I believe that with all my heart and soul. Love ya girl. ♥
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I am so sorry for your loss. I had to put my golden down from cancer three years ago and it was so hard. They become such a part of our family.
