HopeForHounds Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) Things are real quiet here and that is just fine. Miz Foxy is resting very comfortably on her love seat. She got very restless and was trying to stand up, so I got a towel and used it as a sling under her belly. Her right front leg wants to knuckle, but she corrects instantly. It also wants to be on the outside of her left side. She can stand if I position it for her, but can't walk without my help. I carried her outside grunting (her not me) and she went for a huge pee and a little pooh. I called the e-vet and talked to a vet tech and she reassured me that unless Foxy is stressed or in pain to keep her at home until our vet opens tomorrow. Foxy is running a temp and as much as I hate to say it, that is probably due to another tumor inside. I gave her some pain meds to see if that gets her fever down. She won't recover from this, but it does my heart a lot of good to know she will likely pass at home, here where we love her best. I'm so grateful to have so many people thinking of us. We love you and thank you! Miss Peanutty is very subdued and hanging out downstairs with her Daddy while I talk to y'all. Her brother Jake is my shadow today. Jet is on my bed. : Edited August 4, 2008 by foxysmom Casual Bling & Hope for HoundsJanet & the hounds Maggie and Allen Missing my baby girl Peanut, old soul Jake, quirky Jet, Mama Grandy and my old Diva Miz Foxy; my angel, my inspiration.

queenwinniesmom Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Oh, Janet, I'm so sorry. You've so lovingly shared your remarkable lady with us, and now all of us are sharing your sadness. But we can't help but shake our heads along with you, and feel such love and pride for her determination, even till the end, to do things her way. What a force to be reckoned with she is, and what an inspiration, for a life lived so fully because she was precisely where she was meant to be, with the person who loves her unconditionally. We'll be thinking of you and Foxy with much sympathy, and hoping that when she decides the time is right, she leaves you gently, knowing that she's so very loved.

ZoomDoggy Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 ...I gave her some pain meds to see if that gets her fever down. She won't recover from this, but it does my heart a lot of good to know she will likely pass at home, here where we love her best. ... Cool compresses helped with my girls' fevered times. If you don't have actual cold packs, wrap a bag of frozen peas in a soft towel and gently apply to areas of her body, chest, abdomen, etc, just for a couple minutes at a time. : ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!

HopeForHounds Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Just checking in and hoping Miss Foxy is having a peaceful evening, Janet. She is Susan, now that we got our toiletting out of the way. Man that girl is stuborn. Foxy actually walks pretty well outside, just a wee bit too fast for my comfort. I just walk alongside with the towel sling under her just in case. She only stumbled a couple of times then almost peed on my foot. I had to carry her outside and just as we got to the kitchen her bowels let go. She tried to poop outside and seemed confused about why it didn't work. On the way in she had a huge drink, I kept trying to move her over as I didn't want her to have too much too quickly. Foxy had other ideas. I'm going to sleep downstairs and when I have to go to work Daddy will take over. I can't get a supply teacher today since it's a holiday and no-one is answering their phones. Plus I do all the unlocking and alarms, so it's easier to just go in for an hour until I can get someone. Then I'll come home and see how we are. You know I always try to post in threads hoping that the words mean something, but never knowing. I can honestly say that the words of comfort mean so very much. Thank you.
