Sunshine hasn't been getting better at all, and the insulin shots haven't been helping. She's barely walking and eating; she has no energy for anything or anyone. It's amazing she actually walked all the way up to my room today, and then when she did she didn't move at all and just slept.

My parents took her to the vet again today, and the vet figured it was more than just diabetes...she has some disease caused by liver failure (I can't remember the name) that makes her skin break out in sores and it's so painful she can't walk or eat. And this disease can only have symptoms treated; there's no cure for it and she'll only get worse and worse.

So the doctors are coming by tomorrow to put her to sleep.
My two brothers are still out of state/overseas and won't get to say goodbye. My dad hugged me and cried; this is only the third time in my life I can remember seeing him cry.

I feel like a stone; I can't move and it's hard to breathe.

I wish I could say something, but I'm trying not to cry right now from reading this. I'm incredibly honored I got a chance to meet her. You have nothing but my love, Lynx <3

Augh. It would be nice if there were adequate words. I'll stick with *hugs* for now.

*hugs you tightly*

I'm so sorry, dear. Sunshine is a sweet doggy and I wish I could be there to hug you in person, because it's harder than the world to lose a pet. D: We had to make such a choice with a dog of ours-- treat the symptoms, but no cure.

It doesn't make it easier, but ... *hugs*

I'm so sorry to hear that, Lynx. The only good thing about this is that she won't be in pain anymore, but I know that doesn't make it any easier. You have my most sincere condolences. Also hugs. /hugs

I'm so sorry Megan. The flipside of loving dogs is this truly shitty experience of losing them. I'll be thinking of you and Sunshine and your family tomorrow.

I'm so sorry.. You know I'm here for you if you need anything at all, and I'm so happy I was able to meet her myself. She's a beautiful dog, and she always will be.

I'll have you all in my thoughts. I'm glad you can be with her in this time, though. I'm sure she is, too. Good luck and you have my love.

I love you so so much. If there is anything you need from me, anything at all, please call me.

I know K has offered to come over tomorrow, and I wish I could too. Its my long day, so I can't...but then again, its probably best you just have family time anyway.

But seriously, anything. Anytime. Just call.

*HUGS*

*HUGS* I will, of course, come over any time you need me. I love you to pieces and will miss Sunshine. She's a great dog.

Let me know if you need anything at all.
