When it rains...
Sometimes life is so much harder than it should be. We've been trying to acclimate ourselves to the idea that our sweet Emma will not be with us for much longer. We've also had concerns about our foster dog, Roxy. We've been taking care of her for my friend Jade who is living in Australia for 2 years. I have known Jade and Roxy for 10 years, and love Roxy as much as all my fur kids.
Roxy had a massive stroke overnight last night. She woke me up at 4:00 this morning with a horrible keening sound. I took her to the vet this morning and got the bad news. She cannot walk or swallow. She will suffocate on her own saliva unless we have her put to sleep. I had to call Jade in the middle of the night to tell her she would not even be able to say goodbye to her baby.
I'm so devastated. Cat was on her way to visit her grandfather today, but has turned around and is heading back now. We have an appointment for 5:00 this afternoon, so that we can be there holding her when it happens. I have been crying for hours, but I know we can't let her suffer.
