kikibean Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Today we had to let Mimi go. It sucks, there's nothing else to say. She'd just celebrated her 15th birthday, was runner up in the Suzy Awards and was voted Greyface Poster Child girl hound. It meant a lot to have her acknowledged the past few weeks. Mimi was my heart dog. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. It sucks when they just get old and you have to decide that they're just too old and weak to go on. She got her leg wrapped in the TV tray while we were at work on Wed and cut her leg. Then she got her leg on one of the shelves on the TV stand. She was up all night Wed panting. We knew the time was getting close, and decided to let her go before we came home to her really having hurt herself. She couldn't stand to go to the bathroom anymore on her own, couldn't do the stairs and was panting more. I think her body just wore out on her. Luckily my vet was able to come to our house tonight and the local pet cremation people came to pick her up for us. In true Mimi spirit, we had to muzzle her because she kept trying to bite Kevin & Dr. Doug when he was trying to give her the sedative. Not that she was upset w/ being PTS, I think she was horrified of the indignity of having people touching her Run free Mimi. I know you're strong and happy now. Running with your daughters Miss Alaina, Fly and all the others who've gone before you. I'll miss you every day.

queenwinniesmom Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Oh, the lovely, eccentric little old lady! It sounds like she had so much spirit and personality, and her poor old body just got too tired. It seems fitting that she stayed with us till after we could honor her in the Suzy Awards. I think all of us were utterly charmed by her sweet white face. I can't imagine how much you'll miss her. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Mimi.
