**Gracie update**

Gracie is eating a little more readily. About a cup a day now! Although it still has to be VERY appealing. She will eat a few kinds of canned food. She eats Pedigree very well. I hate feeding her Pedigree, but as long as she is eating something I don't care. She is totally blind and confused because of it. I have to be with her at all times when she's not in her crate as she becomes lost and disoriented and just lies down. She also has a lot of oozy gunk coming from her eyes. Still giving her meds and praying for the best.

Gracie,

You were my first very own dog. My first show dog. My first best friend. My first big responsibility. You mean so much to me. I couldn't imagine my life without you. You feel bad right now and I'm sorry. I just want you to know I am doing everything in my power to make you comfortable and get you well. Although I feel as if I can do more. The doctors say there is nothing. I worry about you every minute of the day. Scared that every day will be our last. When I look into your eyes knowing you look back at me I start to cry. You look so empty. So lost. I cannot bring myself to let you go. I know you are a fighter and that we have a long road ahead of us. I know that we have been through thick and thin together and can tackle this feat. I promise you, my dog, that someday we will once again go hiking, chase geese, get ice cream on our way home and do everything you use to love to do. I just wish you could understand how much I love you and how much I am trying to help.

Love,
Mom

To CyberSibes, I have been taking a lot of pics of Gracie lately like you said. Although I cannot bring myself to put them on the computer yet. She is so thin and pitiful looking.

God Bless You, litte Gracie

I don't think I knew that Gracie had gone blind. I am sorry to hear that things are not going well. I will keep Gracie in my prayers.

Big hugs to Gracie, poor girl. A cup of food a day is pretty good, though, for a husky. Star usually only eats between 3/4 to 1 1/2 cup of food a day, so a cup sounds good considering she wasn't eating anything. More prayers & sibe vibes coming her way.

AWww, I'm thinking of Gracie and hoping she pulls through this.
