Dealing
We've been having a hard time dealing with the rather sudden death of our Smokey.
It was quite sudden and we didn't have time to really even think about what was happening.
Ryan is out of town, won't be back until Friday. I have been bringing Peanut to work with me because of her medical issue and her inability to "hold her bladder" as a result of the medication. Smokey and Maeby always stay home and Maeby is always crated because she is naughty and likes to pee in inconspicuous places.
So, Peanut, T & I arrived home from work/school at our regularly scheduled time.
We walked in the house, Smokey ran out and I went to let Maeby out of her cage. I suddenly heard crying from outside and turned to see Smokey walk in the house with one of his back legs dangling. I'm guessing he slipped on the snowy deck. I instantly knew it was broken and with that, I knew he must have osteosarcoma...cuz I'm that kind of a doom and gloom gal and he's 11 and a large breed dog.....
So, back in the car to the ER to confirm that yes, he had a fracture and yes, it looked like cancer. *Deep Breath*
I did my best to explain to T that we had to say our goodbye's to "Doodie" because he wasn't coming home with us. Ever. God, that was the hardest thing to do. It took her awhile to grasp it, and I'm not even sure she fully understands. I was honest with her. Doodie was very hurt and sick and he has died.
I am hoping this book helps...both of us
She keeps saying that she misses him. I miss him too.
Who is going to get into the garbage?
Who is going to eat the last cookie off the counter that I was saving for later?
Who is going to leave shredded, wet pieces of Kleenex all over the couch for me to clean up?
Who is going to be so happy to see me that they leap around the house like a deer?
Oh Smokey, you were one of a kind.
