I walked into the vets office and Dr. Whalen told me to come in 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 she did good and she was a good girl, that her puppies were safe now and she can 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 again I am so sorry and how much I love her. Dr. Whalen asked me if I was ready and I said yes. He injected it into her IV. She looked at me with loving eyes and layed down and fell asleep. I stayed with her for a about 15 minutes telling her she was "home" now and that she was all better. I kissed her good bye 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 angry at her previous "owners". If only they would have cared for her. If only he would have loved her ... even just a little. It's over now and I loved her and I know she loved me. I just wish things could've been different for her. The vet said he will send me the bill ... at point I just don't care about the bill. I just wanted everybody to know. Rest peacefully my sweet Lady Baby.
