Pippen's last day here with us was June 14th. He has touched our hearts forever. I sob as I tyoe this, yet trying not to upset his brother Jordan. He put up a tough fight, and he was with us 7 months longer than he was expected to be. That means he got to make doggie snow angels one last time, he got to enjoy Spring and lay under his favorite trees, one last time. We spent time gardening. He was able to play with his brother. I consider us blessed that we had that extra time with him. Blessed that he had such a wonderful internist.
His cushings was not what took him. His protein losing nephropathy, which became neuphratic syndrome did. He was "leaking" blood from his blood vessels.
He was not loaded with Lysodren afterall. He developed an infection in his stomach and on his bottom. Yet, that was not the ultimate factor. Simply, he was just losing too much blood. We had to leave him at the hospital with his internist, a 2 hr drive, before we got the diagnosis the next day. We went the next day, picked him up and spent several hours at home and then we took him to the local vet and we did what we had to do. He deserved better. He deserved so much better.
We got a call from our local vet a few minutes ago. My husbands going to pick him up. We chose cremation. I miss him so much. I keep seeing this movie preview for an Adam Sandler movie where he has a remote contol that can rewind and fast forward time. I want to rewind time. This is the poem I have decided fits Pip and our relationship best.
I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again
My father passed away in 2004. He and Pip had a special bond. I believe his grandpop is with him now.
I will continue to stop by, and I wish you all the best of luck with your cush babies. You've all been so wonderful. I thank you. Every moment is precious. Every single moment. Watch your kids sleep. It was one of my favorite things to do. How peaceful.
God bless you and your babiess
