all dogs go to heaven

I have been a terrible blogger lately. We've had a lot going on and I just haven't been in the mood to sit down and explain it all.

We had to put Sunny, our precious new pup to sleep on Thursday, October 8th. She got really, really sick really fast and there was nothing we go do to help her at that point. She was showing signs of Distemper about a month ago, with a pretty bad case of Kennal Cough-- but we managed, with a few different types of anti-biotics to relieve her of that. She was doing a lot better for about 2 weeks and then we noticed she started to act a little different. She just wasn't acting her normal crazy self-- very lethargic, so I knew it was time to take her to the vet once again (at this point she has been to the vet over 5 times since we adopted her Sept. 9th-- we're on a first name basis with these people)-- her being tired and weak wasn't anything the vet could give us meds for, but we just wanted to make sure that we were doing everything we could. We continued with the high calorie food and letting her rest as much as possible but it just progressed from there-- she started to become weaker and weaker by the day and by the time I called the vet on Thursday we knew what would have to happen. It was honestly one of the most terrible, heart-wrenching things I have ever had to do. J and I were both really torn up over it. Even though we knew it was what had to be done, we still miss her everyday.

We have briefly talked about getting another dog but have decided that for right now, we are going to take a breather and relax and try and enjoy the holiday season. Maybe after the New Year we'll think about adopting again.
