Guest Smiley Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Oh Mary Pat, I'm just now seeing this. I wish there was something I could do for you and Onyx, but please know you're both in my thoughts and prayers. Many hugs and hopes for improvement.

MP_the4pack Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 @#&*$%#@*!! FRIKIN FRAKIN!! How the heck can I reconcile myself to Onyx going to the Bridge when she turns around and pulls this stunt at lunchtime?!! She started using her legs and taking steps instead of me holding her back end up. She trips up when her legs cross and she doesn't have the strength to uncross them. (which is every other step) But I was just supporting her and made her walk. We did about 1/2 hr of that. Only twice did I resort back to carrying her, once because she needed to get to her spot to poo and the other because she wanted to run. Yup....RUN. I have a path that is finally down to grass. No ice and she ran the entire path back to the house. But I had to hold up her back end for that. Even from the back though I could see her smiling. How the HE77 can I send someone like that to the Bridge. I'm going to need a straight jacket in a padded room by the time she's finished toying with my emotions.

Magdalyn58 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Oh my goodness! It does seem as if, right now at least, she's enjoying her life. I'm continuing to send prayers for you and Onyx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesiRayMom Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 My eyes are leaking & my heart is breaking for you. I sent my 14 yo Kenton to the bridge 2 years ago. She had hip displasia from a young age, but a strong heart & will to live. When I let her go, she couldn't lift her rear end at all. But how do you sent them off to the bridge when they're whapping their tail & smiling at everyone? It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life & it took me 1/2 hour in the parking lot to get it together enough to drive home. Prayers for Onyx & for you. Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies_Dad Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Mary Pat, My heart is breaking for you. It sounds like Onyx's spirit is willing but her body is not co-operating. It is a very very difficult decision to make and having been there, it is brutally hard. It's never easy but having a pup that has a strong spirit but how's body is failing, makes it that more difficult. I hope whatever decision you make, you have some good quality time with Onyx.

AEB Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I hope she improves. How awful for you. When we sent Sadie to the bridge her back end didn't work well anymore, but she also was not the same dog anymore. Her spirit was gone, her eyes were distant and she was staring and waiting for something- I think she was waiting to go to the bridge and we just moved things along a little bit quicker for her. But with Onyx she is making this very hard for you and I'm very sorry. Again, I hope she improves and you're not put in the position of making a decision for a long time. Strength to both of you.

MP_the4pack Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 My friend convinced (pushed) me to taking an overnight to go xcountry skiing. I foolishly thought that if she was beginning to use her legs that the hospital staff would be able to work with her. I dropped her off Wed morning and picked her up last night. They brought her out dragging her back legs. Thank goodness I had them wrapped or she'd had no skin left on the top of her feet. All improvements she had shown on Tuesday is gone. I'm spending the weekend with her since it's a long weekend, but I'm sure that MOnday or Wed she'll be going to the Bridge. Monday if she's so bad that she can't wait, then I have to bring her to the vets. Wed is the first time the vet can come out. (I'd prefer this) I should never have gone away. She was way too frail. She needed her Momma and her own bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
