This is Daisy Mae, soft coated Wheaton terrier, my partner in walking, gardening, and working outside. About two years ago she became too deaf and blind to let her range on her own, and needed a lease when she couldn’t hear me calling her back any more. Last year she started getting slower walking and I had to wait on her to come along. Lately she hasn’t been eating as usual and loosing weight. Could tempt her with sliced beef and turkey though like usual. She was sleeping a lot and avoided walking . With all combined GI issued, didn’t look good. Went to vet for X-ray first… she had a large tumor under her liver and spleen with intestines. Options for 14 years old not good. Already had been looking at her quality of life. I had been wondering if there was something major going on. I decided to help her over to the rainbow bridge, spent a while with her, held her head against my chest so she could feel me talk to her, she gave me kisses and I gave them to her. She settled down like , ok I’m tired now mama. The vet came back and I Held her head while she crossed over.
I took her and my bichons to Ohio for three weeks in December. She had a bedroom all to herself to get away from the little Gremlins. After today, I was glad we had that time together. I decided not take pictures when she didn’t feel good, I’d rather remember her happy with her little tail wagging.
