Lady Baby

lady was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and Immune Mediated Trombocytopenia, basically in English...her body was attacking her patelelets that clot her blood and she was bleeding internally. i walked into the vets office & Dr. Whalen told me to come to the back. Lady's blood count had dropped since this morning. he took me to see her. she got up and came to me...butt wiggling . she gave me kisses on my face and arms as i hugged her and told her i was sorry and that i loved her. i told her everybody loves her even though they did not know her. i told her that she did good and was a good girl, that her puppies were safe and she could go knowing that. the doctor had me sign the consent form. he offered me her ashes, i said yes. he also offered me a little plaque that has her paw print on it, i told him yes. he led me to a room and put a blanket on the table for her. the vet tech brought her in and put her on the table. i gave her kiss after kiss and pet her and told her i am so sorry and how much i love her. dr. Whalen ask me if i was ready and i said yes. he injected it into her iv. she looked at me with loving eyes and laid down and fell asleep. i stayed with for about 15 minutes and told her she was "home" now and that she was all better. i kissed her goodbye and walked out of the office in tears. i am still shaking. i just wish this would not have happened to such a sweet girl. now she is at peace. i will miss her so much, i already do. i am so saddened, but so angery at her previous "owners". if only they would have cared for her. if only they would have loved her...just a little. it's over now and i loved her and i know she loved me. i just wish things could have been differnt for her. the vet said he would send me the bill. at this point i just don't care about the bill. i just wanted everyone to know. rest peacefully my sweet Lady Baby.
