(no subject)
So in a counter to my previous entry, my dog Karri is still with us.
She struggled through the morning, and showed a little fight, so dad immediately changed his mind about having her put down. It's a relief, but I'm also not sure if it was the right thing to do.
She is now on antibiotics and cortesone. And lying on the dining room floor, she just looks so sad, so fragile. She can't stand up without help. She can barely stand at all, in fact. I know she's in pain. She's lost all her modesty, can't even go to the toilet properly.
I tried helping her to her feet earlier, but she made no effort to get up. Her hind legs have basically gone. And she has sores on her stomach, so when you try to pick her up, she gets sore and bites you. It's a horrible experience.
I don't know how much longer she has.
I have mixed feelings about all this.
Thanks everyone for your kind words on the previous post. It means a lot.
