Getting pretty scary over here for my girl the past couple of weeks...
My little Sadie has an enlarged heart, kidney disease, has been going blind/deaf and senile. She was normally around 5.5-6 lbs and she's now under 3 pounds. So sad seeing my little girl deteriorate!I brought her to bed with me last week and she wet the bed in her sleep in the middle of the night. She's been wetting her doggy bed/blanket every few nights now, some nights are worse than others. Been heartbreaking seeing her wander around like a zombie, looking so confused, hearing her moan in her sleep.
She'd be 17 if she hits her birthday in July, but I'm not sure she has more than a few more weeks in her. The meds have been drying up her nose and her ears are suddenly starting to get patchy, losing hair, and she's sleeping so much!
I realize I've slowly been losing her over the past 3 years. I remember how excited she used to be when I'd come home from trips - she'd whine and holler and round around the house like the world was about to end, then run up to me and spin in circles. 3 years ago, I came home from a 2 week trip in Costa Rica and she looked at me and walked on, sniffing around for food. That broke my heart more than most breakups I've been through!
Anyways, sorry for rambling, but I've been wallowing in sadness the past few weeks, getting scared, trying to prepare for a world without her in my life.

Good thoughts for Sadie. May her days be calm and peaceful. May you find the strength needed to guide her well.
