The end is near

Sadie has not eaten much these past couple of days, and she gets skinnier and skinnier. The mass on her butt, on the other hand, is going the other way.

I keep telling myself she is not suffering, that she still wants to be with us. I just hope I am not doing this for myself.

I also hope that the next time I blog, I will be able to say Sadie is eating again and seems to be doing better, but I just don't know.

What I do know is that I plan to make Friday, Halloween, special for her, since it will be her last birthday. 

Love you, snuggle puppy!

Things are okay (I say at the risk of jinxing Sadie)

Last Friday morning, my friend Amy, a.k.a. Aunt Amy to Sadie, emailed me to check on our tan and white doggie. I told her that she was doing much better. Sleeping less and eating more. My mixing soft/canned dog food with her regular hard food (we are at about a 50-50 ratio) has made Sadie quite happy. She sees either the can or the container that I put the leftovers in, and she goes crazy with excitement. Me? I think that stuff stinks!

The only thing I was concerned about on Friday, as I had told Aunt Amy, was that Sadie was crunching on something outside that morning. It could have been a chicken leg; we had had them a day or two prior and threw the bones in the woods behind our house. But I am not sure how the bones would have gotten into our yard and why an animal would not have eaten them. But I had no idea what she had gotten into. And I fretted a bit. Here Sadie was doing better, and she might end up getting some bone stuck in her intestine or something.

But I went off to work and tried not to think about it. However, as soon as I arrived home, the hubs informed me that Sadie threw up. A lot. Underneath the table. So of course I felt as if I had jinxed the poor dog.

Fortunately, Sadie has, once again, been doing okay/better. Still eating. Still running around outside on her lead. Still nearly deaf!

Here's hoping to some more good weeks like this (and here is hoping even more that I have not, once again, jinxed my poor puppy).
