Concerning My pup Belle

thats about the only way i can keep going. at 19+ i ran out of options besides allowing her to die. everyday id try to get her to change her mind. she was just like my Grand Mother. just let me lay here and pass. except Chloe took eight days to finaly go as opposed to only three.

I"m sorry...who are you talking about.

i'll tell you something....we had two reasons to cone home early from Florida. We got there on Thursday and then early monday morning we found out that life long friend had had massive stroke in afternoon. Her husband and sister were so befudled they called their son before they called the Rescue squad. It was too late anyway...she had had teh stroke while her husband was napping so any chance of getting her to the hospital with minimal damage was well past. Son takes her to the ER and they assess the situation, get her comfy when they determine there is nothing they can do. They said it could take hours or days. She passed that evening at 7pm.

Oh gosh, CJ, I'm so sorry. May God bless and comfort all of you.

Belle is enjoying life. Yes, i can see she is not what she was but then...she's 12 now. Her sagging jowl has recovered mostly..no more uncontrolled slobber from her mouth... The only remaining evidence is her eye, which she can't really close so we have to keep putting drops in it...a small price to pay. I don't mind. She runs, plays, loves life so we will stay with this as long as she enjoys it. Love her and keep her comfy.

Belle had a pretty significant seizure last night. Disoriented and confused afterwards.  

This am pretty much like herself but a teensy bit off.    Then early afternoon she was in some pain, walking around, running slightly into things.   I gave her two baby aspirins hoping to help a little...i shouldn't have done that...seems it may exacerbate another seizure.    She slept for awhile,  laying next to me on the floor.   she got up and i took her outside.   She peed.    

that's pretty much how my day went. I really hate this part.

I pray for animals regularly. Mine and others. Belle has already had a prayer about me and you too for strength to walk through whatever happens.

Boxers are, indeed, protective. I had a friend with a boxer. Her husband was deployed and her brother came to visit. That dog sat outside her door all night guarding her and she said he was bleary-eyed the next morning from not sleeping.

I pray Belle has many more healthy years with you and your daughter.

At this point Jen...i think you better pray that she passes gently. and thank you.

damn.

sorry to hear this, cj.

prayers sent for both of you.

It took thursday resting for her to start feeling better....Vet appt this past monday.  She got pain pills but she is not in pain at this time.  She has seizure pills.  Can't take baby apirin cause that might encourage a seizure.

she is eating well..but i limit her food and she is actually doing very well.   Very encouraging.   This pup, has always enjoyed life.   @Jen, she could go on for another year...not gonna think about that too much...just gonna take each day.
