    Smitty

    in Remembrance

    You gave him the greatest gift anyone could. You gave him love, a home, and a chance. Everything else was out of your hands. Smitty knew love. No one else could have done better.

    Osteo - Question

    I agree with both Batmom and Redpack. After I lost Scarlett, every time that Morgaine limped I had a panic attack and had the vet come see her (homecare vet). Even when he told me I should give it a day that she was a crazy girl and had probably pulled something. I agreed that the visits were primarily for me but I still had him see her. That ended after the first year. Then, my walker called me in a panic 5 days before Christmas 2 years ago. My girl was in massive status epilepticus seizures and I lost her within hours.

     

    The lesson for me, try not to panic if I hear Aquitaine's toenails seeming to "skip" a beat on the ground. Get them cut. Love every minute of every day I get to spend with her. Cuddle with her every morning before I leave, no matter how late it makes me and remind her how much I love her. We live with the knowledge every day that cancer could take our fur kids. We can't let it take the wonderful times too. When the x-ray showed the cancer on Scarlett and I was crying my eyes out and talking to my vet, he reminded me that at her age (we thought she was nearly 15, turns out she was 19) we lose as many dogs to arthritis. At the time that was of no help to me at all. After a while I realized that to them, pain is pain. They don't know they have cancer.

     

    I live with a simple goal. I want to give Aquitaine the happiest, healthiest life I possibly can. And, if I am lucky enough, she too will live to be 15...or 19!
