Felony's last day

blehmannwa · 12-21-2011, 10:43 PM

is today. Yesterday, I went to put a hot compress on her paw and she whimpered. She has never whimpered in her life. I took a good long look at her. If I control the pain, she won't eat. If I take her off the pain meds, she obviously is in pain. She isn't digesting her food as much as expelling it. She looked awful yesterday and I made the call.

She rallied again last night and today we've been blessed with one of the best days that she's had in a while. I've kept her on codeine, fed her cooked chicken, pupperoni and peanut butter and her eyes have been brighter. It was sunny for a bit so I took her for a walk by herself. She drank from the lake and performed a long wait and recall. She even chased a squirrel.

Tonight some friends come to say good-bye. My husband, son and niece and myself will all be with her tomorrow when she'll be euthanized at home. I'm so glad that today was a good day.

Goodbye, Felony the pit-bull, you have been my friend and I'll love you always.

/hugs I know how it feels. I had to put my old guy, Dizan, down recently. It never gets any easier.

I am so sorry. Big, big, big hugs and doggy kisses. Yum, chicken and peanut butter.

Glad she'll be able to go at home. Again, very sorry for your pain, but it'll be the end of hers.
