Today we had to say goodbye to part of our family. Angel went to heaven where her body could rest from what ever she was fighting. After weeks of going to to the vet and loosing over 25 lbs, she had no fight left in her and we had to put her out of misery. We still don't know what caused her to get sick. We just know she was suffering and nothing was getting better.
It started back in the fall when she seemed to loose her appetite. We changed the food that we bought and she would do well for awhile, and then she would stop eating again. We took her in to the vet and they gave her some medicine. She started eating and things looked so much better. Then it started again, but she seemed to be loosing weight fast. We took her in the blood test came back negative for tic disease, the did x-rays and she didn't have cancer, and even a blood transfusion didn't help. Her red blood cell count was low. I was the one that had to take her back and forth from the doctor. Nothing helped her to eat at all. She had no energy and her body was dying. I looked at her one day and she gave me the look of ...just let me go, I am done fighting. That is when the doctor called to let me know, she was at a loss and didn't know what to do. So we said goodbye.
I am not a fan of dogs, but if you had to have one she was a great one to have. Amazing with kids and around people. She wasn't over bearing, but she was still playful when you wanted her to be. Savannah and Brittlynn had the hardest time seeing her gone. Emily misses her, but she had already grown out of a dog. It was hard for Eric. He loves dogs. I don't...I miss her, but I don't need to replace her.
