My baby girl is sick…..

on July 2, 2010

Everyone has a different opinion about animals as pets – “it’s just a dog” is what I hear alot – but the emotional tie that some of us have to these creatures is amazing.

Case in point – our baby girl Honey is very sick.  She is in multiple system failure, has a kidney infection beyond medication, and a tumor on her spleen.  The medical procedures to fix any or one of these problems could put her at such an incredible risk that we have decided not to proceed with medical efforts and let her live our her days at home and keep her comfy.

Yesterday we had ice cream…..and lots of car rides.  We cried ALOT and at the end of the day – slept together in each others arms.

This is my child – and I treat her as such.  It is painful to have to make such decisions for them, but it is done out of deep love.

Our hearts hurt right now – and I have asked the angels to take care of her til she is ready to join them…..and to let me know when that time is.

All for now,

Berta
