Good morning all.
Last week was a tough one for my husband and I. We lost our sweet boxer, Ella, a week ago Sunday. It has been so crushing. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer three years ago and it had traveled to her lungs. In January, our vet told us she probably had 4-6 months to live. She was still eating, playing, and "being Ella", but Sunday evening she had a seizure. It was horrible to watch as she struggled to recover from the event. It was painful to watch. Since her lungs were filled with cancer, she was struggling to breathe. There was nothing we could do to help her. After two hours, we decided it was time. It was not fair to make her struggle like this. We were able to take her to a 24-hour vet at 10:30 pm. When we arrived, they carried her from our car into their building.
It was sad, but peaceful as we said goodbye. But like they say, "They leave a piece of their heart with us and take a piece of our hearts with them" when they leave. She was the BEST DOG ever, "She was MY dog". It will take a long time to get over this one. I know you all have been there and understand.
My son was out of town for the weekend and we brought his cat to our house to "cat sit". That little cat filled such a void. He is very affectionate and cuddly, besides playful. It sure helped to pick up our spirits. He is back home now.
Well, I look forward to viewing your image, Peter.
Thanks for starting the daily.
Till later,
LORELL
