Guest MyCody Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I know some people in here knew Emmy Lou, the little brood Mama that was at Greyhound Rescue of NE We adopted her on June 8 and were delighted to have her with us unfortunately for much too short a time. We lost her last night to cancer. She had been in the hospital for four days with no diagnosis. They sent her home a week ago last Tuesday and yesterday morning she began to just go downhill very rapidly. We rushed her in and after a second ultra sound they found a mass in her abdomen and by then it was thought an intestine had ruptured and she had sepsis. Surgery was iffy and she was in a trememdous amount of pain, could not even stand. We could not put her through that after having been living in kennels for nine years so we gave her the peace and freedom from pain that she so richly deserved. We absolutely are stunned and devastated, we will always remember the happiness she showed in being free out on her beds on our large deck and having the freedom to roam the entire house. We delighted in finding her in every corner of the house even the bathroom. She was alpha to Leah, our 8 year old who has been with us for four years, but let Emmy Lou take over choosing which bed she wanted and who was to go out and come in first, Emmy of course. Run free from pain little Mama. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
