She hasn't been out of her bed all day. :( But when she did get out for her fodo she wasn't limping at all, so I really don't know if I'd call it progress or not..
Oh, Alyssa.. ((((HUGS))))Quote:

No need to thank us. And of course we care about Sassy and about you.Quote:

Oh no! :( Prayers and good thoughts for Sassy!I hope she's ok..
{{hugs}}
Still thinking about Sassy, you, and your family, Alyssa. I hope that cute little girl is doing better. Kisses from me please. :)
Hope Sassy is doing better. I will be praying for her, and thinking about her. Please keep us updated. Poor little Sassy, I pray for all her pain to be gone.
Willie
Hopefully poor Sassy will get to the vets soon :(.
I hope so. Money is always a big deal in regards to our pets, but she might be easily helped with some stronger medication to help her deal with the pain. Please keep us posted.Quote:

Alyssa, I am so sorry to hear about Sassy. My prayers for her and your family. :(
(((HUGS))) I am so sorry Alyssa, I will be keeping Sassy in my prayers. I know how special she is to you.
I don't know what to tell you all. I really don't...today was terrible. She is not making progress, and I feel helpless. I think I am feeling more pain then her watching her suffer, and it makes me think there is no helping. My mom is calling the vet tommorow, as today it is to late. We are waiting for the options but I sadly think I already know what it is.
I am sorry if everyone will be angry with my decision if it is what I choose, which I do not know yet. But in the end, it is really my parents' choice and no matter how much I may want to...I can't change their minds and I am sorry for that.
Here is some sas pics, maybe the last: :(

Oh gosh, Alyssa, your post has me in tears. I won't be angry at you for making the best decision for Sassy. If she is suffering, then maybe it is time. I hope whatever you and your parents choose, it is for the best. I'm here if you need me.
(((HUGS))) and Major Prayers that the vet will have something good to say.
Oh, Alyssa, I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do for you and sweet Sassy. Try to stay strong. Please let us know what the vet says. Please also give Sassy a hug for me. Tell her she is a good girl.
Oh my goodness.... I am so so so sorry, Alyssa.... and whatever the choice may be, it is for the best. Those pictures of Sassy brought tears to my eyes. :( Give Sassy a kiss for me!
Alyssa, I know this isn't much, but it's the least I can do.. Anybody else feel free to use it, as well.

I'm sorry Alyssa. :( you both will be in my thoughts. (((HUGS)))
LES here:(
I know you and your family will do what's best for your sweet little Sassy.
You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers.
(((HUGS)))
Alyssa, I am sorry I am just seeing this. I can't offer much other than many virtual hugs and lots of prayers for you and little Sass. I know you are doing all you can and I know you love her deeply. We love her here at PT too. Praying for the best Alyssa {{hugs}}
I am also in tears Alyssa. :( This is so sad. I have always loved Sassy so much. She's an adorable little baby doll. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
LES....
{HUGS} to you and Sassy!
I'm glad your mom has decided to call the vet. At least then you'll know and Sassy will get relief, one way or the other. It has to be terribly hard to feel so helpless. :( Both of you will be in my prayers.
Logan
Sassy has always been one of my favorite PT dogs. I hope the vet has some good news for you both. Lots of prayers being sent.
Mary
Sorry to hear about Sassy. It's weird to think it's her time to go at 9 years old... she's the same age as Simba. :(
Oh my...I feel that I can't put what I'm feeling into words. I'm so shocked and upset, I just can't imagine Pet Talk without a regular intake of Sassy pics.
I've been following this thread, and your last post, Alyssa, made me stop what I was doing all together and think solely of you and Sassy for five whole minutes. I can't get her out of my mind.
Please know that we would NEVER be angry at you, you are doing the kindest thing for a pet you love dearly and there is nothing wrong with that. I know how wrong it feels inside, I'm sure all PTers do, but as you say, seeing her suffer is cruel and unnecessary. It takes a strong person to push aside their own desires in such a situation, and do what's right by their faithful companion.
I really can't express how sorry I am, sending you these heartfelt ((hugs)) just to touch lightly upon my emotions.
If you need to talk at any time, I'm just a PM away.
Sassy, we all love you as if you were our own. Take care of Alyssa whilst you remain by her side, she needs some reassuring kisses to tell her that everything will be alright, whatever happens. And I send some kisses for you, sweet Sassy, to reassure you that you are loved all around the world.
Thanks all, I haven't been coping well when I'm at home because I see the pain...and I didn't exactly reply right away after my last post because I thought everyone would be mad at me. But my mom just needs to find the vets number and she will call her tonight, and leave a message. So thank you for the prayers, thoughts, etc.
Bri, thanks for the sig, it's really nice thought. I hope you don't mind if I don't use it, the words and the picture of my dog are hard to read in my own siggy.
:(
Alyssa
Alyssa I am so sorry to hear this! Sassy and you are in my thoughts, sweetie.
I understand, Alyssa. I can't imagine possibly what you're going through. It's tearing me to pieces and I've never even met Sassy. But she seems like one of my own sometimes.Quote:

Oh geez... :( I don't even know what to say..
**HUGS** great vibes your and sassy's way. :(
I actually have a bit of good news...
Sassy was walking around normally today! Not any sign of the arthritis, no limping, crying, etc. She was walking around more and alot of the day was spent outside her cage and bed for once. Maybe the prayers are working, please keep them coming.
Yay! This is great news, Alyssa! God can do amazing things. More prayers for Sassy on the way.... ;)
Yay, that's wonderful! I told you, Alyssa, PT prayers work miracles!
Great news!!
This is wonderful!! But is she still going to go to the vet?
I am so glad she is feeling better, but I hope your mom gets her to the vet to make sure she is really okay. Please keep us posted.
How are you doing today Sassy?
