Guest LANDOLISA Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell of the passing of our sweet little girl LISA at the young age of 9. She had been sick off and on for a few months, (vomiting, and diarrhea) and our local vets kept giving her antibiotics. She then started to favor her left front leg. We proceeded to take her to Ohio State University, to have her checked. On the Initial examination they found that she had bone cancer in her left leg. Upon further examinations the found that her stomach wall was 3 times too large and then found Cancer cells in her lymph nodes. They were 95% sure the cancer was in her stomach. They conversed with us about removing her left front leg and part of her stomach, plus putting her through Chemotherapy every two weeks, without any guarantee of giving her any type of quality life. The other option was to put her down. After consideration we decided on euthanasia. It was the hardest thing ever to have to decide. We couldn’t see putting her through all the surgeries and chemotherapy. We miss her so much and now I feel guilty, what if the doctors were wrong. What if we ended her life too soon? She was the sweetest and orneriest girl. She was always next to our sides like a little white ghost. She loved hugs and kisses. She would lie on our laps and then put her nose up in the air like “Snoopy”, to give us kisses. She loved her walks and loved to twirl and run in the back yard. She is missed by her “Brother” Lando so much. Please remember her in your prayers, and give your greys a hug for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante2zoe Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 What a beautiful girl. I am so sorry. You did what you felt was the best for her and not what was maybe best for you. That is the most selfless gift you could give. It is obvious by her pictures that she knows she was loved.

Burpdog Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Sending my sympathy We always second guess ourselves. The surgery you mention was quite involved and in my opinion, if it was in the leg and in the stomach, she had it other places. Fighting one battle is tough, but two is extremely difficult.

CaliforniaGreys Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I am so very sorry. Guilt is a natural emotion for us at a time like this. And even as I am typing the words I know to be true, I feel guilt as well. Deep down, we did what we did out of the purest love that there is. God speed beautiful girl, and run with all the Angels, pain free. Please continue to watch over those who love you.

Guest PhillyPups Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 You gave beautiful Lisa the hardest, but greatest gift of love we can ever give our hounds, you took her physical pain and placed it in your heart to let her run pain free. I so know how very hard the decision is, the pain is always fresh. Sitting here crying with you for the loss of such a beautiful being. Run with the angels sweet Lisa, you are with some of the very very best there are ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdogs Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm so sorry for your loss. FWIW, I think you did the right thing by Lisa - from giving her a wonderful home to letting her go. She was a beautiful girl & I will definitely give my boys a hug on her behalf. Godspeed Lisa! Quote Deirdre with Conor (Daring Pocobueno), Keeva (Kiowa Mimi Mona), & kittehs Gemma & robthomas.
