Erica & Justice

[Erica]

She’s home with me tonight! The vet said she can stay home tonight and to be back at 7:30 am for tomorrow’s treatment. He said she received plenty of fluids throughout the day, had a 24 hour anti – nausea medication and 3 day pain medication. She also had her Doxycyclin – no prednisone while there. I am so happy, that she will be in my care tonight (less stress for both of us and less expense). She did walk to the car from the vet and she walked for them. However when she got home, she took a long pee and started to collapse. We carried her in after that. She is a heavy 80 girl! He said not to expect her to move and to sleep most of the night. He didn’t put a restriction of water or chicken and rice but said she would probably not want any. I put water near her but she didn’t want anything to do with it. Not sure if I will try food. The vet tech said she ate a little there and wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to give her anything fatty. Her pancreas is going through a lot right now. My poor baby. Her gums still look nice and pink… hopefully her pcv doesn’t drop drastically. We will see in the morning!

Thanks for letting us know – I’ve been thinking of you & wondering how Justice was getting on. It’s lovely to hear she could come home to you & they are giving her excellent care. Fingers crossed, her bloodwork will be OK, but please don’t worry if you see a small drop. Being ill can knock them a bit. So low fat from now on then!

Please give us an update when you go today – sending you all our very best wishes

Love & hugs

Justice decided it was her time to go this morning. The Pancreatitis was just too much for her to handle. We were at the vet getting more xrays and fluid and she decided it was her time. Eddie and I were with her as she took her last breathes. I think she decided, so I wouldn’t have to. She was my soul mate dog and I am just lost without her. She was me in so many ways – just a furry version. I just wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I don’t want to talk right now. I just want to be left alone. I loved her so much. She was not a dog in my eyes, she was my baby.

Talk when you’re ready, however long it takes. I am absolutely devastated for you. I know how much Justice meant to you & I can’t begin to imagine how much pain you are feeling. Glad you were beside her. Just wanted you to know I care. I’m so, so sorry.
Heartfelt love, Sheena x

Erica, I too am so glad you were with her. There are no words to express how very sorry I am that you are going through this. God placed Justice with you because he knew you would give her the best life ever…and you did just that. Both of you were blessed to have had each other. I am thinking of you and you will be in my prayers.

Dear Erica,
I am so sad and disappointed that your baby Justice has not recovered. Of course I don’t know exactly how you feel, but I have a pretty good idea.Your heart is broken, you are physically hurting. You did the kindest and most selfless thing to let Justice go when she told you that she had enough. All the wonderful memories you have of better times will eventually make you smile again.Justice had a wonderful life because of you and she changed your life because of her love to you.
Please accept my deepest condolence,

Brigitte

Erica, I’m so very very sorry. Justice was truly so very lucky to have had you and your husband to lover her. That’s all they want. I’m glad you were with her, and in a way I’m glad she made the choice for you.

Truly, when you’re ready, go to the Bridge. It’s beautifully written. Now might be too soon but when you’re ready.

You know you are always very welcome here.

My deepest condolences.

Oh Erica, I am so shocked and saddened to hear your news. As Sheena said, talk when you are ready. It sounds as though Justice made this horrid decision, and you as her loving companion understood that and knew what she was telling you.

I’m so sorry. My sincere condolences.
