trailrider Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 A week ago I lost a 5 year old with Lymphoma - similar problems. It is hard to accept, but I spent most of her last week giving her all the support possible. Love her while you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NorthfieldNick Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thank you, everyone, so very much. We're taking it day by day. Lu has quit eating anything that isn't raw meat, which isn't a big deal, as both dogs have been mostly raw fed for quite awhile. At this point, she can have anything she wants. Her right hind leg is worse today than it was yesterday- I can really see where the muscles have atrophied. She still gets up in the morning, and follows me out the door, and she still wants to go in the car- always one of her favourite things. At this point, though, unless something changes for the better, I'm not sure Lu is going to make it another week. It's not fair to her- she obviously hurts. Too soon is better than too late, I guess. We'll bury Lu out by my sister's old Stinky dog who went in May. I have an oak tree to plant over her. Today, I asked Scott to be here when Lu goes, and he started crying. My dogs, especially Lu, have wheedled their way into his non-dog-person heart. If that is to be Lu's legacy, then I'll take it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaos Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Oh Ben, I am so sorry for you both. Give Lu lots of gentle love and I have to agree too soon is definitely better than too late. Sara Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soda-pop Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm so very sorry. It will be a wonderful legacy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desertranger Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 And for you both when the time comes I shall open a window when I go to bed and wish upon a star and then make a space in the garden for puppies to dance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sea4th Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm so sorry. All dog's should be as lucky as Lu to have someone to care for them, over them, and cry at their passing. You and Lu will be on my mind and I'll wish peace for both of you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCecil Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 So sorry to hear this about Lu. I do know how you feel. My Jersi died at 10 last February from spinal cancer. He was my first Border Collie. Remember the good times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
