FYI......

My dog passed away completely unexpected today. She was just fine in the wee hours of the morning while I was up sneezing my head off, but when I woke up this afternoon, I found her on death's door on the kitchen floor. After rushing her to the vets, he had to refer us to another clinic that had the means to perform an emergency surgery for what he suspected she needed a hysterectomy. Plus he found tumors.

At the other clinic, the x-rays weren't very signifant. Even the vet said she hadn't seen a case like Timmain's, and so they had to do exploritory surgery. This is a clinic that has to be paid up front, so I called my credit card comany to inform them of the upcoming charge and made a payment to ensure there wouldn't be a problem. Later, when the payment was to be made, the credit card company put a hold of use on my card for late payment....when I JUST used it Monday to have my car towed and Wednesday for gas in my truck with no problems. So as I'm on the phone with the Visa company for the second time that hour, screaming my head off at them, my boss miraculously appears with my paycheck money for the past two weeks. It just so happens the clinic we were referred to for my dog is her same vet clinic for all of her dogs. After hearing everything that happened, she talked to the surgeon and took care of whatever the bill would come to. Even when I told her the estimate was over $1,700.

Unfortunately, my dog was in worse shape than anyone knew. It was a ruptured tumor that spread through her internal organs, making her entire internal system septic. Her blood pressure was deadly low and she already stopped breathing several times during the exploritory surgery, and her internal organs were in such bad shape in that short amount of time, the vet didn't have much hope that she would pull through with what all the proceedure entailed due to her elderly age already. So we had little choice but to have them put her to sleep.

Needless to say I'm a wreck. I was already trying to prepare myself for her loss, knowing at 12 years old, she didn't have much more time with us. But I never imagined it to happen in such a way, or in a SUDDEN painful way for such a cherished member of our family. So please bear with me for awhile. I may not be on, and if I am, I won't be talketive. I'm not trying to bring in drama, but I felt an explanation to my possible reclusiveness should be known so you all would understand. It's been an extremely shitty month with my persistance illness, my bearded dragon lizard dying last week, and now my dog. So please.... just bear with me.

Thanks

You have my condolences. I don't know if you're religious or if you're not; but I hope the doggy is in a better place now.

In nomine de patris et filiis et spiritus sancti Amen.

Requiem eternam dona ei Domine et lux perpetua luceat ei.
Requiescat in pace. Amen.

Take your time.

*hugs and smiles* thank you Synn ^^

I'm feeling better. The entire month was a beating, and her loss was just the icing on the cake to yet another kick in the butt ><

But now I want to try and get back into the swing of things, hopefully with a new month kicking in things will get better ^^

I'll try joining you and Basil's thread as I promised, and I'm up for any other ideas as well ^^

Alrighty! I think RPing is a good thing for you! So if you want to make another RP we can do that!

Plus, we should start up a Halloween Event Soon!

I'm sorry to hear that your dog died Kin, I know how it feels to have a pet who is like family die. But I am happy to hear you are feeling a bit better, and hey at least now she is in a place with all the food she can eat and all the things she can mark and play with.

Sad thing when you lose a friend...condolences.
