Posted by Wauchula Woman on 8/14/2007, 9:40 pm But now, well, just a little while ago, old Sinatra, my faithful, ancient old dog, came waddling in here just as fast as she could move her huge self and took a whiz on the wee-wee pads. This is unusual. Though she's gotten to where she basically cannot make it all night, she's never just come moving in here like that and peed in front of me. So I thought it was weird, but like I said, she's ancient, so everyday it is some other oddity or problem. So after she peed on the wee-wee pads, I cleaned it up and put some fresh ones down, she left and went back in the other room.....then all the sudden, here she comes again...this time she squats and out comes a bunch of blood and clots. Course, its nearly midnight here and there isn't an afterhour vet. She's already on antibiotics long term for all her problems. She's on Medacam for her painful arthritis. I don't know. I've doctored her and doctored her and doctored her. She barely has any teeth, she's nearly blind, she's in pain a lot of times....but she still seems to want to live. We are not in a good financial situation right now, because I'm not working and we've taken on my niece. I just pray that my Sinatra will lay down and go to sleep and pass away peacefully. I love that dog so much and it is going to break my heart if I have to make a decision to have her put down. I mean, how much more can one do for an old dog like that? I also think that maybe she's got cancer of the breast, she has a hard lump that came up by one of her teets awhile back. You know, I have spent money and spent money and spent money on her and she's worth every penny, but how does a person know where to draw the line? When is it time to let them go? And how does one drive a trusting pet, who still has life in their eyes to a vet and say "Put her to sleep?" I don't know how to do that. And it's not just her. My horse back in Texas has got cancer too. I know my Mother is sparing me right now on what's going on with him. Why does living have to be so hard? It'd be so much easier if we didn't love...you know? Well, just pray that things go the way the Lord plans them to go. Love,

I've been really sick every since after church on Sunday. I literally felt like I was dying. I went back to the doctor and after consulting with another doctor, they said I had a viral infection now, on top of everything else. Mercifully, today, the Good Lord finally heard all the prayers for me and let it relent.
