i never believe anything i hear.
We almost had to say goodbye to her this weekend.
I have never cried so much in my entire life as I did Saturday.
Well,since my grandfather passed away.
Friday night she started throwing up.
It was only periodically.
We thought it was because of something she ate.
Saturday morning started to get worse,
so my mother took her to a vet.
The doctor put Maxine on medications,
and also gave us special dog food to feed her.
Nothing worked,she continued to throw up more.
I came home in the morning after I got a phone call
that she could barely walk anymore,
and wouldn't come out behind our sofa.
As soon as Dave and I walked in the door,
she came out,basically crawling.
All of a sudden she made this awful noise,
and threw up blood everywhere.
I started crying hysterically.
We all jumped in the car,
and rushed her to an emergency animal hospital.
If we would have waited an hour more to take her,
she wouldn't be alive right now.
And she isn't even "out of the woods" yet you could say.
My family has been completely devastated the past three days.
My mom and I have been taking it the hardest,
because Max was attatched to us at the hip.
She comes home tomorrow,but she is still pretty sick.
Not to sound like an ass,
but this dog is my life.
If you know me and my family well,
then you know that this dog
is a big part of our family.
My house is nothing but quiet now,
and I hate it so much.
She isn't here to play with.
She isn't here to chase after us
when we are leaving,
because she doesn't want us to leave.
She isn't here to bother us
while we are eating food.
She isn't here to be our 24/7 crazy watch dog.
She isn't here to jump 4 feet in the air,
because she is excited.
She isn't here to roll on her belly
for you to pet her.
I don't know what I would have done
if she didn't make it.
