I decided last night that Misty had, hadenough. She was in extreme pain, cold, unmoving and unresponsive. Sherefused everything I tried to give her. She was grinding her teeth sohard and so loud it could be heard over the tv.
I didn't want her to pass in a vet's office. I wanted to makeher transition as worry and fear free as possible. The vet and a friendboth told me how to do it so it wouldn't hurt her. With my heartbroking, tears falling so hard I cold barely see, I crushed the pillsand mixed it into her next dose of Tylenol. We held her tight, kissedand hugged and told her it was ok. She was a brave girl and we wouldalways love her.
Giving it to her was the Most Difficult thing I have ever donein all my life. I held her in my arms until 4am. I laid her in ablanket in her cage and Jeremy watched over her.I brought hercage next to me on the couch so she could see me at all times and Iher.I can't believe it but exhaustion caught up with me and Ifell asleep.
I woke up this morning thinking I failed. I wasn't there forher when she needed me the most. I jumped up to check onher and she isstill alive. I picked her up and she snuggled right into my neck.Despite everything she isn't ready to go yet. I am keeping her ascomfortable as possible and just taking it minute by minute at thispoint. I will keep you all posted.
I can't thank you enough. It's been amazing the out pouring oflove, support, prayers and thoughts you have shown to me and Misty andour family. If it wasn't for all of you I truly don't know how we wouldhave made it this far. Thank you all. I know I can never pay you backfor all you have done for us. All I can say is with all myheart...thank you.
