Our Dear Sweetie


Our dear Sweetie went to Rainbow Bridge on July 25th, 2005. She had been feeling poorly for a couple of days...not eating very well. I thought at first it was the heat. Then I took her in to see the vet. She had a bad tooth. We scheduled surgery for a dental and they gave me some antibotics for her. That was on a Friday. Sunday morning she threw up and it was bloody. So I called the vet and he said to push fluids to try and get her kidneys working. We feared that her kidneys were shutting down. We went in to the vet Monday morning and he ran a pre-op blood screen. Well he called 45 minutes later and said that it was bad...very bad. His machine didn't even register that high. She was in kidney failure. I went to the vets and spent 30 minutes hugging her and cuddling her. I whispered over and over how much we loved her and she was a wonderful girl and she brought alot to our lives the short time she lived with us. As I held her, she went to Rainbow Bridge.
We miss her very much. The house seems so quiet without her...hard to believe that with 3 wild westies around. But Sweetie brought something different to our home. It's hard to explain...but her presence is greatly missed.

To our Sweetie...till we meet again...WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
