Those who have been reading my blog for awhile know, that I love my dogs. I walked them three miles every morning. They really are my babies, just as much as William + Davis are. So when Dakota, my Koty Boots, got sick, it broke my heart. She was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. For over two weeks we weighed our options. We got her fluids and shots from the vet... but it just didn't seem right. She was so miserable. She didn't like to eat... which was her favorite thing in the world, and she was constantly throwing up. The vet told us once the organs are damaged like this, the best we could do is just make her comfortable, but she would never recover. It was devastating to hear that. We spoke to lots and lots of people to see what we should do. We didn't want to be cruel, and keep her alive for our sake. So on Saturday, with the heaviest of hearts, we sent her to doggie heaven. This broke my heart. You all have no idea.
Oh my dear sweet Koty. She was THE sweetest dog I have ever ever met. She deserved so much more. I haven't stopped crying for over a week now. But all I keep thinking and wishing, and hoping, is that she is up in heaven, running pain-free, doing her little dance before gettting a treat or eating, and she is enjoying the spring weather, stopping to sniff a flower. {which she loved to do} I don't think there is another dog that will be as loved, and as missed as she will be. i just miss her terribly and I hope she knows how much her family loved her and will miss her.
