Hi Jan--
Just wanted to check in again and wish you the happiest of hiking with your darling Pixie.
Ladywolf is enough better with an increase in her pain med that we might try a little stroll today ourselves. Just a little one. I'm terrible--I hike through the desert terrain here in southern AZ. in SANDALS! (Strong ones, though.) I hate to have my feet confined--but every plant that grows here is out to GET YOU!!!!
Hope you had a great day--
Big hugs from Ladywolf and Margi

Thanks Margi and dear Ladywolf
So good to hear that Ladywolf is doing well. If you take that stroll I hope you don't get 'plant' attacked and that it goes well.
The 'Pixie' hike was great. I think we must have done about 5 miles which is not bad at our age. The new hiking boots were so comfortable, definite improvement on the Pink Wellies. Had a few 'signs' that my Angel girls were trotting along at our sides, which made me feel good. Little fluffy white feathers always in pairs, fluttering down in front of us to name but one 'sign'.
Pixie had great fun chasing a Rat. She was on the lead so Dave, who was holding her at the time, had a good run, LOL. Wish I had the video camera with us.
The Violets and Primroses are all out in the hedgerows and the sun was shining, so all in all we had a great day.
Love to you and Ladywolf and everyone on here. Thankyou all for being here for us.
Hugs
Jan and Pixie and my Angels xx

Oh Dear, I keep calling Pixie, 'Nounou'. I've just done it again and so I had a good old cry. She reminds me so much of you, Noushka with those 'biscuit' ears and she is very similar in character. We love her dearly and she has made us laugh and smile again, but I know she's not you Noushka, she will never replace you, but she is a darling and she needed us as we needed her. I'm sure you guided us to each other, and I thank you for that.
Love you and miss you both so much, my darlings Tasha and Noushka. Thanks for sending the 'signs', they give me so much comfort.
Love and hugs
Your mummy and sister Pixie x

That is so beautiful, and just as I was looking at it, the Lady from the rescue centre rang to see how Pixie was getting on and to see if I could do an article on Pet Rescue for them. Surely not another coincidence. Yes our Angels truly are with us and watching over us. Thanks once again. I love it and will treasure the picture and message.

Click to view attachmentJust wanted to say Good morning to my darling Angels. I felt very close to you all last night and this morning and I have a sort of warm feeling. Maybe because I've been reading my new book about Animals and the Afterlife and just as I put it down, the picture of my Tasha and Noushka fell down on my bedside table, right in front of me. It made me smile and think , yes, you are there, you know exactly what I'm doing and thinking, bless you both. Not that I ever really doubted that of course, but it was just confirmation.
Love and hugs my Angels, I love you more than words can say.

Congrats on being asked to write the article. I'm a professional editor, and if you want to pass it by me before you submit it, I would do that as a gift to you.

First the white dove in the garden on your birthday Tasha, and then the flying white Swan over the fields on our walk on Monday. It flew right over to us. I have never seen one in flight so far away from the lake before. I just wish I'd had my camera it was a beautiful sight. Also the 'rainbow' I saw yesterday in a clear sky. You were 'Angels' while here on this Earth with me, I always called you 'my Angels'. Now you are my true Heavenly Angels, always there for me with all these signs and happenings, thankyou my sweethearts, I love you more than words can say.

May 14 2010, 06:02 PM
As I sit and write this Shyann is laying with her head on a pillow at my feet, you see about 2 1/2 weeks ago we rushed her into an overnight emergency vet because she collapsed and wouldn't get up. At the emergency VET they said her lymph nodes were enlarged and she may have a bacterial infection, fungal infection, or the worst of the three Lymphoma (a form of lymph node cancer or what I call a thief in the night). They gave her an antibiotic and recommended we take her to the day VET ASAP. The next day we left for her appointment and she was looking better. The Veterinarian (Dr Thomas), looked her over and had that this is not good look in his eye. He said they could do a small needle aspirate or a biopsy on the lymph nodes to determine whether it was treatable. We explained that we are on a fixed income and can't afford much (the overnight vet cost 400.00 for an antibiotic), he went on to explain that chemotherapy cost 3000 and up, plus the other meds, supplies, vet visits, and misc.This just was not an option for us and I began to tear up. Dr. Thomas suggested that we keep her on the antibiotic to rule out infection as the culprit, and that if her condition was the same or worse in a week, he would put her on prednisone and this would give her more time. We went home and she seemed ok till 2 days later, she wouldn't get up to pee so I made her a sling. Well she has been on the Pred for 4 days and is getting worse, she was able to walk and pee with aid yesterday and today when I lifted her in her sling she was limp, her temp is also 104.3, gums are white, and she has only mobility of her head. I also took it upon myself to give her 125mg (1.8mg per LB) of Tramadol that I had left from a broken arm earlier this year, the VET prescribed her no pain meds, So now here is my queston she eats baby food well and drinks should I let her die naturally or should I have her put down? I need honest opinions in order to form my own,

please help!!!! Thank You Kathie

May 14 2010, 07:02 PM
Hi Kathie, I am so sorry about Shyann. No one can tell you what to do, there are pros and cons to both decisions. It has to be a decision you come to that is between your family and your vet. I know I'm of no help but just wanted to say I'm sorry and I will be saying a prayer for you tonight.
Hugs,

Hi kathie
I to am so sorry about Shyann. I too agree with Sonya only you can make that decision and I know either one will be hard. I have recently had both one put to sleep and another die very sudden 3 months later who shown no signs of being sick and I can say they both hurt just the same. Either decision I know will be hard and you will have the same feelings as we all do did we make the right decision. I thought one going in there sleep would make it easier but I can say the pain is the same. I know you will do what is best and thats all we can do. I am sending you my prayers for you, your family and your prcious Shyann. You put it perfectly when you said Thief in the Night well said.
Hugs

Thank you to both Sonya and Smokey for replying and understanding what I'm going through, It is so hard to know the right thing, but I know I cant stand to see her suffer like this. I will pray that god takes her in the night so that I will not have this decision in the morning!

May 14 2010, 11:16 PM
Hi Kathie
I will say a prayer that your sweet Shyann does not suffer and that if it is gods will to take her peaceful in her sleep. But should he not take her and you have to make that decision go easy on your self and remember what ever you decide it is out of love for her. No one here will judge you for what ever you decide because we know how hard it is to let go of something you love very very much. Thinking of you

Dear Kathie
It's early morning here in Uk and I have only just seen your posting on my 'Angels' thread. Yesterday, I was checking out the Samoyed Rescue website as I do periodically, and there were two sammies needing homes. One of them, would you believe is called Shyann (spelt exactly the same). I thought what a lovely name it was, but I have honestly never known a dog with that name before. Well I think all the 'Angels' directed you to LS, and to post on this thread for a reason. I came here because I needed help after losing my precious Noushka, back in September last year.
I see from Annas posting that your darling Shyann has joined our Angels. I send my love and prayers to you both.
Thinking of you.
Hugs Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Just wanted to give you my sympathy and support to your sorrowed heart. I lost my 17 year old Kota one week ago today. Some friends say I'm doing fine, yet I feel as if someone poured hydrochloric acid in my stomach and I'm being eaten up from the inside out. It just hurts, whether it's a day, a week or a couple of years. There was only one Noushka and one Tasha, and thank the universe they chose you to give their love to. I feel your sadness, perhaps it's a mirror reflection of my sadness. I'm sure their short time on this earth was as much a paradise, that you gave to them, as their is in pet heaven. One breath at a time.

Thankyou so much Dennis (Tahoeden) for those kind words of support. I know how sad you are feeling as you are just one week into your grief, but you managed to help me with your lovely message.
I'm sure your darling Kota will have met up with my beloved Angels , Tasha and Noushka, Soot and my many angel pets who I have been so lucky to have shared my life with. I do feel honoured and blessed that I was chosen for the privilege of being their 'human' Mum while on this earth.
I do hope that your pain will soon get easier to bear and that the 'Happy' thoughts and memories of Kota become more prevalent than the sad. Take each day at a time, as you say we will never, ever get over the loss of them, but Life does become worth living again. Our Angels wouldn't want us to be sad, but Oh it is so hard to be without them. My thoughts are with you and your darling Angel Kota.
Love and hugs

Janika,
And thanks for your support on my posting. I'm single and it's sooooooooooo hard to come home. I just lay on Kota's blanket and try to get her smell. My sister has lent me her dog for a couple of days, just so there is a living presence in this house, but I can't keep him forever. And I'm definitely not thinking about getting another dog. I do hope all of our loved ones meet up, if there is a dog heaven or spiritual resting ground. Take care of yourself the way you took care of the two of them. I know it's easier said than done. My thoughts are with you.
Dennis

They ARE watching over us all, Jan! I had a good day today--Ladywolf at the vet's for insulin-injection instructions, and Sweet Pea, my neighbor's dog but MY rescue, at the vet's for emergency rectal surgery--and both are fine now. Sweet Pea is drunk and collared and stitched and etc. but she will be okay, and I gave Lady her first insulin shot tonight and she is doing well. Both are resting peacefully--what a day! It could have been much worse, especially with Sweet Pea who has a tumor at the base of her tail, so her condition looked for all the world like cancer.
Please thank your angels for helping us out today!

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."-Unknown
This was posted on Dogasaur.com Facebook page today and I thought you would like to see it. What a wonderful quote.
Tasha and Noushka you certainly took a big part of my heart with you when you left me, but that was outweighed by how much you put into my heart when you came into my life. xx
