Last Pictures of Angel

23 May, 2010 (19:31) | Angel | By: Cynthia

I just want to say, it’s my blog and I can cry if I want to. Yes, I am still mourning Angel, and I still miss her a lot. I just loaded up these last pictures of her that were on my camera. This was when her eye was still working.  Three days before she [...]

Getting Better

20 May, 2010 (09:17) | Angel | By: Cynthia

Well, I’m getting better, though it’s slow going. I was kinda manic yesterday, different than my depression I’ve had for the last week since we put Angel down. Jet makes me laugh, he is such a goof. This is him making play moves towards his new German Shepherd friend Lenka, who is not in the [...]

Very Sad

17 May, 2010 (20:11) | Agility, Angel, Chase | By: Cynthia

Well we are sad here, because Angel is gone, and I don’t really have much desire to blog lately. I went and did agility last weekend. It was okay, but my heart was so heavy on Saturday that I handled Chase very poorly. We got one half Q, which was good. Then on Sunday we [...]

Angel is Gone

13 May, 2010 (15:50) | Angel | By: Cynthia

We let Angel go this morning. The vet thinks she may have had a brain tumor. Her right eye no longer worked as of yesterday… she couldn’t open or close it, you could just see the red of her third eyelid. And she was pacing in circles. She wasn’t in a good place anymore. I [...]

Emotionally Drained

11 May, 2010 (20:35) | Angel | By: Cynthia

Ugh. So Angel still isn’t doing well. We took her back to the vet yesterday just to see what they recommended. We did some more blood work. It came back just fine. She’s not eating much at all now, only a few bites of food once or twice a day. She’s dropping weight really fast [...]

Not Ready To Let Go Of Angel Yet

3 May, 2010 (13:27) | Angel | By: Cynthia

Okay, I can’t do it. I think my husband would probably follow my lead if I said that we have to make the decision to let Angel go. But I can’t. Despite my sore knees from carrying her up and down the stairs for the last couple of weeks… she’s eating again, as long as [...]

Angel Might Leave Us Soon

1 May, 2010 (18:32) | Angel | By: Cynthia

This is our girl Angel. We got her in March of 2002. We didn’t know how old she was, since she was found in the shelter by the local lady doing rescue at the time. Collie rescue. The shelter didn’t know she was a smooth blue collie. We saw her and had to have her, [...]

Angel’s Teeth

18 April, 2010 (14:29) | Angel | By: Cynthia

So Angel is probably about 14 years old or so. She’s a rescue so we are not sure, but she’s really acting old lately. Probably the last six months or so. She doesn’t move fast anywhere at all… she’s very slow, she can’t go up the stairs anymore, and she’s just an old girl. Friday [...]

Angel Is Doing Okay

3 February, 2010 (10:30) | Angel | By: Cynthia

Well, just a wee update on Angel. She is doing pretty good. She is old, for sure, and very slow. I wish we could do more for her but there’s no cure for old age. Ugh. She goes slow everywhere, but she eats really well, potties outside just fine, and likes to chew on pig [...]

We Sure Can Build Confidence

9 November, 2009 (16:13) | Daily Posts, Rescue | By: Cynthia

I just have to toot my husband’s and my horn just a little bit. Four of our dogs are rescues, and if I do say so myself, we are good at building their confidence. This picture is of Chase. And though he didn’t come with too many problems, he does have good confidence now and [...]
