We said goodbye to our little dog Keira on Thurs 5th Dec. It came so suddenly, the day before she seemed perfect. On this morning, she couldn't get up or eat. I tried to coax her for her walk but as much as she wanted to she couldn't. I picked her up and carried her and held her close walking in the morning sun before calling the vet. I sat with her outside, her breathing was shallow, fast and then irregular. She sat up in the car, looking out the window as she always did, I turned the radio up and tried to make the most of it. We arrived early for the appointment at the vet. Her breathing was so shallow. I held her while the vet did what had to be done. He said she was close. I was glad I could be with her till the end. The boys took it well. My youngest still wakes up sad during the night. We have her ashes in a pot planted with a Gardenia that will flower every year. A little plaque is in her favourite spot in the sun. Bridie sits there now. Thank goodness we have her to help us through this. She is unbelievably strong for a little pup. It's like she was told it was her turn to take over and look after us. Just the other day I was putting away her paperwork and discovered she left us on her 9th Birthday...amazing and so incredibly sad. I miss her so much, its just not the same here without her. I hate that she never had the chance to be an old dog, that Cancer had to take her from us way before her time...and that so many old,unloved but healthy dogs are in the shelter that I volunteer with. I just want to bring them all home and give them all that I couldn't give my Keira Girl who was so loved, and had taken away from her. I know she is still with us in spirit....I miss her more than I can say...Thanks for all your kindness during her battle with Lymphnode Cancer, she was with us for 8mths longer than was predicted by the vet and never once, until the end let it bother her, despite the huge enlarged glands in every part of her little body. She's resting peacefully now...Thanks again :)
