I'm writing thru my tears as I tell you all the story of my baby girl! It's a story that''s not so different from many others in this forum - except it happened to me & my little Nana!!
I adopted Nana from Boxer Rescue almost four years ago - and since the day she came into my life - we have been the best of friends. She and I moved to Florida about 3 months ago - so since then she and I have been the two amigos!! She went just about everywhere with me!! She was my guardian, my companion, my baby, my best friend - and now she's gone! I can hardly believe it - my heart is broken.
On Saturday morning I woke up to find Nana sacked out on the couch - which isn't abnormal - but when I tried to get her up to go outside - she just looked at me with these sad eyes and didn't move. I glanced around the room and noticed she had vomited several times and even pooped on the floor. Eventually she got up and we went outside - but it seemed every step she took was so difficult. I knew then that something was terribly wrong!! I called the emergency vet and told them we were on our way - I had to carry her into the office she was so weak!! When we got to the office there were no wiggles to see the doctor - she just layed on the floor! When she did finally get up it was to vomit - then she collapsed :( After all the tests & procedures the doctor explained to me that Nana had liver cancer and it had spread and a tumor had developed in her belly. That tumor burst and she was bleeding internally! I had no other choice but to help her to the bridge. It was the hardest thing I have EVER done in my life. I held her in my arms, told her how much I loved her and would miss her! I know in my heart it was the best thing for her - she would not suffer any more - but I will miss her more than words can say!
Although she must have been ill for awhile - she was such a trooper she never showed any sign that she was sick.
Nana- I miss you - I will always love you!!
