Thank You Everyone!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their well wishes regarding my grandmother and all the support and love regarding my gone doggy.
Grandma had an infection around her heart. It could have been caused/brought on by any number of things, from the cancer she beat to the rheumatic fever she had when younger. The infection was causing inflammation and pain, and also having fluid build up around her heart making it impossible for her to draw in deep breaths. Her blood wasn't getting enough oxygen and it hurt her A LOT to breathe at all. The doctors had her on pain and breathing medicine and regiments while they were figuring out what exactly was wrong, then they put her on the right meds to get rid of the infection. She had to stay in the hospital all week, but once the meds started to work and the pain was gone and she could breathe she just wanted to leave, lol. They made her stay a few days more, just to be sure she was ok and no long term damage had been done (we all hope). We're still waiting for some test results and she has an appointment with a lung doctor next week too, so I'll keep you all updated as I learn stuff.
I still miss my puppy, but I'm doing better. I am going to get one of my Aunt's new puppies when they are old enough (8 weeks, they are 5 weeks now). I will get a girl, who looks more like her sister and mom than her dad.
The dad, Jack, is the golden brown dachshund to the right. The little black & tan dachshund on the left is Jill, the, uh, aunt? (no real relation, lol). And the mix in the purple collar is the mom, Molly, when she was a pup.
This one is the mom, Molly, all grown up; she looks much more like a terrier.
This is Chris, a brother from the last litter.
This is Holly, a sister from the last litter.
Apparently my puppy is the ornery one of the group, just like her sister was of the last litter. Here's Holly, the sister, showing how she's the bully, lol; Chris is napping in the foreground while Holly eats Noah's (he died, sadness) ear and he just. sits. there.
I'll be taking some pics of my puppy soon, today probably, and I'll post them later. Ok, I'm off to a birthday party! Love you all *hugs*
