| In Loving Memory of Emily
This past week has been the hardest and sadest week of my life. On Friday night 11.30.07 we had to put our 13 year old black lab to sleep. I've had her since I was 12 and I miss her so much we still have another dog, but still the house feels so empty without her. Last week she seemed fine and so full of energy, but Tuesday she just stopped eating and was having difficulty moving around, we immeditally took her to the vet, they took x-rays and they thought it was her arthritis and gave us some pain meds, but we still couldn't get her to eat or take the meds, and by friday afternoon she began to stop drinking water altogether.
On Friday morning I made the hard decision along with my family to put her to sleep that evening, after I spent my last day with her. She had always protected me and now it was my turn to protect her. In my heart I know it was the right decision, but my head keeps twisting and turning if only there was something else that could have been done, if only we had more time with her.
I miss her so much. In loving memory of Emily, 1994-2007.
