                      Oh, Connie - I'm so sorry... Our Pawlee did that bounce back thing quite a few times, too.  Each time, we hoped, but we knew.  Ollie is just so blessed to be so loved.  I am sure he feels your heart in his, and that is surely what is carrying him through.  I just wish I could be there to give you a hug and help YOU through, dear sister.  So hard.  Sending much love - Nini

                      Connie, so sorry to hear what you and Ollie are going through. Prayers. And, such sweet pictures.  When we moved here 34 yrs. ago, we lost our sweet Sadie. After all these years I can still picture here and smile.  Glad to hear you are able to keep Ollie comfortable.

                      Thinking of you and praying for both of you. We are going through the same type of thing with our Rusty.  I can't bear to be without him but feel guilty for letting him be uncomfortable.  Our pets are our children too.  Just breaks my heart when I think about it.

                      Nini, things are not good. we took Ollie to the vet yesterday for fluids. He lost 2 lbs in the past week. He barely eats or drinks and now has to be carried everywhere. He is so weak. It's awful. Trying to manage his pain. We almost took him to the vet monday because he thought it was time, but then he started eating so we didnt go. Not sure what to look for, of course dont want to do put him down prematurely. it's real hard. I cant believe my buddy wont be here for Spring. Im real sad. I appreciate everyones kind words.

                      Connie, First off, I am so sorry that you are on this sad journey, ...you will know when its time, because Ollie will tell you, and I hope he will go in his sleep, because that is so peaceful...you are all in my thoughts..

                      I'm so sorry. We had to put our Rusty down this Saturday.  It's very painful. Our house is so quiet. I come home from work and forget he's  not there.  It's heartbreaking. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Ollie and Rusty can play together.
  God has a bigger plan for me than I have for myself. Jenny,   Blessed Farmgirl #4359 FGOM October 2013 |

                      Dear Connie ~ How very sorry I am for you & your family. I have been where you are. The feeling of being helpless. The heart ache of losing a Dear Friend, a member of the family. It is never easy to say farewell. Take heart in knowing he will go across the Rainbow Bridge, to be among others who will Welcome him & he can run free without pain.
  KEEP A SMILE IN YOUR HEART... |
