New And Fearing The End, There is no hope Options

[Ann H]

Hello my name is Ann and my little girl was born on 2-4-94 Her name is Snookie and she is a Miniature Schnauzer. She has so many things wrong with her, she has cancer, Cushings Disease and many other things. The Vet said he did not believe Snookie would live past August but she has been holding on so far.. My Snookie has been in the hospital in the past and now in the last week she has been sleeping a lot and gets so tired easily. She is my very heart beat, my baby, my companion and I cry and have cried many tears. I know she will be 11 soon but it is just not long enough. All I can do is make the best of the time we have left and pray that God will make her well. Thanks for reading my story of my precious girl Snookie. Snookie's Mama Ann

You are right - it is not long enough. But it is NEVER long enough. Whether it's a year, two years or twenty years - the pain may be different but it will still be there.

But you have already realized something very important - you still have some time left. Hold her as often as you can, smell her fur, play games, hug, cuddle and spoil her.

By all means, pray for God to make her well. I hope, personally, you have a long time still left together. But don't forget that if God takes her, perhaps that is the only way to relieve her of her pain. Don't begrudge her the freedom of letting go. It takes a great deal of courage to say good-bye.

My thoughts are with you - and I hope, I truly do, that you have many many more days together.
