Re: What Krista's week has been like...

Tara,

Thank you, too. If the u/s comes back okay, we are going to try the new

medicine for senility in dogs. I won't let her become a walking zombie, but

if her health is okay, then it couldn't hurt to try the medicine!

Take care,

Krista

Thanks, ! :..)

Krista,

I am really sorry to hear about your dog. I know how hard that is, my

parents bought me a dog when I was a toddler and I missed school the day he

died. Hopefully things will turn out okay.

About the ultrasound, that is so cool!!! I did not know that they would be

able to tell the sex this early!

What Krista's week has been like...

Hey there, everyone!

I know that I don't post very often on what is going on with me, and I

apologize. You would think that after bearing my soul on the website,

that I

would be more chatty, eh? This might turn out to be a somewhat bummer

of an

e-mail-sorry again! There is some pg information at the bottom, so I

used

the scroll space, so that everyone could read the top of the e-mail.

I have a mini schnauzer (Buffy), who I got when I was twelve years old.

She

just turned 16, and until last week has been doing great. She has had

cataracts for years, which have left her blind, but her overall health

has

been great. Last week, she started screaming in her sleep-senility

setting

in, I guess. I took her for bloodwork on Friday and they called me this

afternoon. I have to take her for an u/s (probably tomorrow), because

there

is a chance that she has liver cancer. They aren't sure, and it is just

a

possibility since she has no other symptoms (other than off blood

results),

but it just breaks my heart. I have been sobbing for days now, because

I

just knew that something was very wrong. I cried so hard on Friday,

that I

threw up (sorry). It may seem like such a small thing, but if any of

you

have pets, you know how much comfort they can be. I have spent the last

five

years taking care of her, and I just don't know what I would do without

her!

I know that I should be thankful for the child that we are looking

forward to having, but it is hard to imagine life without her. I swear,

she

has been the one constant best friend. I hope that doesn't sound

pathetic,

and I hope you understand how upsetting this is for me. I will let you

know

what the u/s says, as I know you will all be concerned for her.

Now, onto happier things. I had an u/s today to check my cervix. My OB

said

that everything looks fine right now, but I will go back in two weeks

for

another u/s. I saw what he was talking about, so those of you with IC

worries should definitely push for u/s exams starting with Week 14.

This is about Little Bean (current pg) and although the scroll space is

history, I will add one for those of you who are having a bad day, okay?

Something else was discovered today. My Little Bean has a little thing!

Yep, it's a boy. His name will be _______ Burruss. Any

suggestions

for a middle name would be great! We are doing fine, no defects

apparent,

and that is a relief. I will tell you all this-it doesn't get any

easier for

me with each u/s. I will worry for another two weeks, and then feel

okay for

about two days. Then, the panic sets in again. It makes it really hard

to

bond. It was so easy with Tucker...I have been told that it is normal

to

feel this way after a loss, but I still feel gulity. I want to get the

nursery set up, maybe that will help. Any suggestions from those who

have

been pg after loss?

Have a wonderful week all!

Much love,

Krista

Krista,

I am so sorry that things with Buffy aren't looking too good right now, but

believe me I can relate. About 8 years ago I adopted an adult dog named

English. She had been the dog of an ex, but when we split he decided that

he couldn't keep her and was going to take her to the pound. I decided to

break my lease and suffer my landlord's ire and keep her. Soon after I met

my dh and we were living together with English and his kids. English was

the most gentle and loyal dog ever. She was well trained and a real

" girlie dog " . This was our nickname for her bc she was such a love bug.

She brought our family so much comfort. About 18 months before she passed

away, we suspected that she too had cancer and had her checked. She came

out OK there, but naturally had the other things like cateracts, going

deaf, etc. We knew it wouldn't be long. Well on May 1st, one week to the

day after my dh's best friend had been buried, English could not stand or

walk. She had lost control of her bladder and bowels. Dh and I knew that

that awful day had come. It was a Sunday, so it was hard finding a vet,

but we did. We told the kids and all said goodbye and dh left with her.

He had her examined and they confirmed that she had vertigo and would not

experience any quality of life if she got over it. I had asked dh to stay

with her the whole time and he did. Thankfully she went peacefully. Dh

cried so hard they made him sit at the vet's for a good 1/2 hour. It is

the hardest CHOICE I ever had to make. My dad had offered to take her in,

but Enrico wanted to do it for me. I have tears streaming while I write

this, so I know what you are going through. I will be praying for you and

Buffy. I am sure that Buffy is a very important part of your family.

Scroll

I am absolutely thrilled that you are having a boy and love the name

, I will keep the three of you in my prayers.

Love,

Tara

Krista:

I lost my wonderful Bassett Hound, Sugar, to leukemia about 6 years ago.

She was as dumb as a stick but the sweetest, most loving dog I have ever

had. I still miss her and stop often at her little grave on my parents

property when I visit them.

It is never easy to say goodbye, whether to a human or animal companion. I

pray that your farewells will be delayed awhile yet, but please know that

you are in my prayers as you face this now with your little Buffy.

[Guest guest]

Hey Krista!

I'm sorry about Buffy. Wow - I can't believe she is

16. One of my cocker-spaniels, Shelby, just turned 11.

I don't know if I told you about this but in June she

hurt her back, couldn't get up and walk, just laid on

the floor and shook. I took her to one vet who said

she needed surgery or put her to sleep. We were very

upset - we had just lost Stormie and now we were

facing losing another " child " . I wasn't about to give

up on her so I took her to another vet who gave her a

med called Vetri-Disk. Now six months later she is now

running around like a puppy again. Anyway, a long

story to tell you I know exactly how you feel, but

don't give up hope. Keep us informed on how Buffy is

doing.

I also wanted to tell you when I was pregnant with

Stormie I had ultrasounds once a week for the 2nd &

3rd month, then once a month until 6 months. Every

ultrasound tech told us we were having a boy. At each

visit would ask, just to make sure, if it was

still a boy. I think they needed to convince him. At 5

months we were having our monthly ultrasound and once

again said could you tell me again what we are

having. The tech said a GIRL!!!! almost fell off

the chair. He asked if she was sure. He even made them

get a doctor and another tech to confirm this. It

didn't matter what we had, but it was such a shock. We

were planning everything around a boy. I'm not in any

way saying your tech is wrong. Just wanted to share.
