In which I can't stop crying long enough to title this post in seventeen syllables
The blood test says lymphoma.
She's stopped eating, she's weak, she's wobbly.
It won't be long now.
Prayers, candles, crossed fingers, and kind thoughts are gratefully accepted on behalf of Pickles Marie Tinydog.
We love her so much.
I know life isn't fair, but I just can't help thinking - it's not fair. It's just really not fair.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Aarene. I'm really just so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I hope whatever time she has left with you is grand, grand, grand.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I hope she doesn't suffer long.
ReplyDeleteI know you all have shown her so much love and kindness in her short time at Haiku Farm. She got to learn all about the Good Life and share your beautiful farm and trails with you. Happiness is an amazing gift to send her off with. ♥
Oh dear. What Becky said about fairness. I'm so sorry. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteIt never gets easier. Never...
When she goes, we will cry with you.
So very sorry. The joy I read in your stories about her must be magnified in your sorrow. Enjoy every precious second.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry. My heart hurts for you. I am glad that she had a wonderful life and that you both had the gift of knowing each other.
ReplyDeleteOh, Aarene, I'm so so sorry. Many hugs. This too shall pass, one day.
ReplyDeleteOh, Aarene, I am so sorry. I have been there with loved animals failing--I know how terrible it is. It is still wonderful that she found love and a good home with you--that remains wonderful, even in the midst of grief. I have clung to the beauty of love through the terrible pain of loss so many times. This is what it is to have animals and love them. My thoughts are with you and your sweet dog.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Sending you love...and Pickles, too.
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry - I lost our wonderful Golden Retreiver Sunny a few years ago to the same thing. Sending best wishes and hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteMany, many hugs-love to you and your family
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry. I lost a much-loved dog to lymphoma. Know that Pickles Marie appreciates all that you've done for her and spoil her rotten in the time remaining. She is so lucky to have found you, and you, her.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Pickles Marie.
Oh no... I am so sorry Aarene. She's so full of life, it's hard to believe. She's been having such a wonderful time since she came to you. At least she's had that.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I know she will be kept close and spoiled through final days.

I am so very, very sorry. From the moment you introduced Pickles Marie on your blog, I have loved following her story. I lost my pitti, Caleb, to lymphoma less than a year after I adopted him from a shelter - it is heartbreaking. The only solace to be found is knowing you gave a wonderful friend the best months ever.
ReplyDeleteI read your post today but was at work and couldn't comment, but I've been thinking of Pickles and all the Haiku Farm humans today. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think that she has probably spent the best times of her life since she went home with you guys. Hugs.

Pickles Marie Tinydog and your whole family is in our prayers. it's not fair, and it's not okay. I'm so so sorry.
ReplyDeleteBless you Pickles Marie, for taking such good care of the family!
I am so sadden to hear of this...God found you for her to have love and peace for her last days on earth. Pickles Marie has been an inspiration to us all, to come from such dire circumstances and still have so much kindness and love in her eyes for each person she met. My prayers go out to you.
