We Had To Let Sadie Go,, She doesn't need her cart any more Options

[myhrtisbrkn]

Saturday night we discovered our precious little disabled sheltie, Sadie, despite the whirlpools, and physical therapy she received every day, had developed blood clots in her hind legs and kidneys, and her left leg was gangrenous. We had no choice.

We were criticized for not putting her to sleep when she went down. But she fought back from near death and we were willing to do anything we could for her as long as she wanted to stay with us. For two happy years everything went fine...and so many times she was so close to getting up again. She was so brave, and so cheerful, and then this happened to her and none of us had a choice.

We miss her so.

Dear Dayna,
I am so sorry for your loss, I am so partial to Shelties, we had one growing up, Alfie, who I hold dear in my heart, and my sister has raised three, and has a new baby right now, they are such wonderful dogs, don't even respond to people that don't understand, you know you did what was right when it was right for your Sadie, only you knew her situation, its none of anyone else's business. I am exceptionally sensitive because I work with kids who are disabled, and I'll tell you sometimes you get the weirdest response from people that don't understand, these are all kids that are children; sisters, brothers, grandchildren or step-children, people can't get over the label, and see them as just as worthy as typical kids. I am sure its the same with pets with disabilies, well good for you for caring and loving your Sadie and giving her all she deserved, we have all seen the dogs with three legs, are they any less worthy than those with four, but many people don't see it that way. I just am thankful for people like you that are out there to be blessed with the care of those dear dogs souls who need them. Don't let others who are losers ever hurt your feelings, your Sadie sounds like a dear girl...can you post a picture of her too? I'd love to see her face, anyway I guess I'll stop my ranting now, it just really kills me when people can be so insensitive and rude.
God Bless you, and prayers for your pain right now, Tory, Hrudey, Frank and Auggie's Momma.
