3greys2cats Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 My sweet Sara came to us in October 2005, she was picked by the Adoption Coordinator(GPA CNH)and brought to my home. She came through my front door w/her blue puppy that had already become de-squeaked, proceeded to meet Max, her new boyfriend, then eat his leftover food! We brought her out onto the deck to see if she could handle the stairs and she hesitated for 2 seconds, went down them, did her business and came right back up. She wanted to lay w/Max on his bed but he quickly told her no way!! She was a very happy girl and absolutely loved everyone she met. All toys in the house belonged to her, Max never played w/them anyway! We had Sara only a year and a half when she became critically ill and diagnosed w/GME in 3/2007. She was given a 50% chance to live w/treatment and so we went ahead and did a full year of chemo treatment along w/all the other drugs needed to save her. She made a miraculous recovery and we enjoyed 5 more great years. We have gone everywhere together, Sara loved riding in the "magic Bus" van, w/her best buddy Max. She got to go to Dewey 3 years in a row, Paw House Inn in Vermont, our Lake House, the mountains, and 2 walks daily @ 2 different Parks. She was the Queen here and had pillows in almost every room, she loved her toys and laying in the sun, and loved to chase the squirrels off the feeder!! I have been fortunate enough to work from home and spend most of my days and nights w/her. She smiled even through the pain that she was feeling and still managed to do the stairs out back and up to my bedroom to be w/me. Her last day w/us was spent laying upstairs w/Max right next to my bed. She was only able to sleep and relax from her trembling body after giving her 3 different drugs. WE took her to Benson's Park in Hudson for one last walkie w/him. I know that I did the right thing in releasing her from her body but I am so very heartbroken.

Charlies_Dad Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Roberta, I am so so very sorry. Sara sounds like a real sweetie and brave soul. Everything you did for her gave her a wonderful 5 more years and that is saying something for both of you for having the courage and fortitude to make it through and know what love is. Run free Sara, run free sweetie...

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...
