Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi all, It has been a busy day and I am now even further behind in my email, but my computer is acting better. I am hoping with the girls back in school tomorrow and hubby at work I can get caught up. I got to sleep in a little today because the girls had a dental appointment that we had to leave the house for at 10:30 didn't get home until after 1pm and by the time they had lunch it didn't make sense to send them to school. Hubby got home about 4:30 let the dogs out and the germanshepheard (10yrs old) went out and laid down in the snow, didn't want to get up an come in the house I finally convinced her to get up but she did not look good when she came in. Decided to call the vet and get an emergency appointment since she has not been eating well the past 3-4 days and her stomach was a little distended and today after getting her in it was much worse. Well, her abdomin was full of blood, so much that they couldn't even see anything on the x-ray but blood, they figure she must of had a tumor on her spleen that started a slow leak that got worse today and the best choice was to have her put down. So I came home with one less dog and lots of unanswered questions for my 3 girls. They have dealt with death before so that was not a new topic, but normally we can give them an answer as to exactly what happened and why, this was more of a mystery. My food has been ok today so far so good and only a couple of hours left in the day, but I may break open a bottle of wine that I have in the fridge though I don't need the extra calories. I have been thinking about it being in there for the past week or so but keep convincing myself they are empty wasted calories and I don't need to drink any of it. I tend to avoid as many " liquid " calroies as possible, I would much rather eat them then drink them. Well, I hope everyone had a much better day. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a dog is losing a best friend. How very sad. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily he didn't suffer for too long. >but I may break open a bottle of wine that I have in > the fridge though I don't need the extra calories.

If it's unopened, give it to a neighbor, or even your vet who gave you the emergency appointment. If it's not there you can't think about it, right? Here's hoping today is a better day!

The day before Lynn had a party for her with invitations, favors, etc. Of course the poor dog could just lie there but at least she got lots of attention at the end.
