Neyla


Recommended Posts

I know not all of you regularly read the osteo thread so I wanted to start a separate thread to share that I will be letting Neyla go tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be able to post in remembrance so I thought I would at least post now.

 

It's become apparent that she is no longer able to do the things she loves most so on Saturday I made the decision to let her go this week before I head home to Pgh for Christmas. Unfortunately my plan to give her a few really good solidly pain free days by boosting her Deramaxx didn't pan out, which is really unfortunate but reinforces that I am making the right decision as it appears her tumor is progressing more rapidly now.

 

Even though I knew this day would come, this decline happened so fast and I wasn't able to stay ahead of it like I would have liked. Still, she is able to rest comfortably and is still giving me her bedroom eyes if I stop petting her for even a moment (which isn't happening much this week). The vet who is coming to my home can't come until 8 or 8:30 tomorrow night so I'm going to do my best to just enjoy my last day with Neyla and not break down too often for her sake.

 

The Sunday before last was 7 months since Neyla was diagnosed. It's been very difficult in a lot of ways, but I am so grateful that up until just the last week or two, Neyla was able to play and be herself, for the most part pain free and without limitation. I know we are so very lucky to have had that time, even if it doesn't provide any reassurance now. Anyway, thank you so much to everyone who has offered us support throughout this fight. I really could not have survived this without you. :bighug

 

A few recent pics of my girl that I haven't shared yet:

I'm so sorry you are having to let her go and I do understand how much you never wanted that day to arrive.

 

There are no magical words to make it all better. You are doing the right thing for her, of course. My heart truly goes out to you and Neyla.

Oh, I'm so sorry to read this... she is beautiful. Thank you for all your loving care for her and for all of us who have lost a dog to OS or are fighting it now. May peace be with you both.

I'm so very sorry for both of you. She's just lovely and has the most fabulous earsies!

And the picture with her hedgehog = priceless. Her soul is there for everyone to see.

I am so sad to read this and sorry for all that you two are going through. Neyla is so lucky to have you as a mom...through your posts, we have all felt your love and devotion to her. You have taken such good care of her and always put her well being first, especially in your decision about tomorrow. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

May you be strong tomorrow, spoil your precious Neyla and enjoy your special time.

I know how hard this is, try to remember you are giving Neyla the gift of being pain free. Its never easy, but then love never is.

Hugs for you both,

Kim

Tell Neyla to look for Rippa, she'll be the one bossing everyone around.
