We went to pick up Emma earlier, but she didn't make it home.

We went to pick up Emma earlier, but she didn't make it home.  She was stable this morning, but her breathing was labored.  They x-rayed her lungs and she had a little fluid on them.  They suspected it was blood because of her low platelets and not being able to stop bleeding.

They checked her lungs again before we took her because she was having more and more trouble breathing, and they had even more fluid.  She was basically going to drown to death in blood.  I couldn't let that happen.  I asked them to please make it stop.

She was surrounded by me, Shaun, and Kira.  We had some people-food leftovers in the car, which Emma always loved so we all fed her tasty food and petted her until it was time, which we could tell she enjoyed.  I am so unbelievably sad, but I think that was the best way it could have gone.

She was the best girl.  I love how she could be sleeping so good and then fart, which would make her jump up and run away like someone just got her booty.  LOL  She was always super sweet, too, and wanted to be near us.  She would grab a mouth full of her food, come and spit it in the floor of the room where her humans were, and then eat it - one piece at a time - with us.

I don't really know what else to say, except that we tried our best and I think she did, too.  We're all going to miss her a lot.  We have so many good memories with her, so we'll just hold on to those the best we can.  Rest in Peace, my blue-eyed girl.  ❤

Emma Update # 2:

Emma Update # 2:

We went to see puppy girl.  The nurse said that when she took her out to potty, Emma collapsed and had to be carried back in.  Today was the first day she didn't try to come out of her crate to see us.

She didn't eat much today; however, when I hand-fed her, she did eat a little.  She also drank some water when I held the bowl up to her face.  I could tell that she was tired and weak, but she still wagged her tail for us.  She made faces at Shaun when he pretended to eat out of her bowl.  LOL

We just loved on her until she looked like she needed to rest and then we left.  Hoping for better news in the morning.

Emma Update:

She's getting weaker.  They said that they are seeing something weird in her blood.  They want to do a transfusion which will make her feel better, at least temporarily.  We're going to do that and then bring her home.

One of the medications she is on can take a week to get in her system (it's been 6 days already), and another takes even longer.  I am hopeful that the transfusion will get her up and going until everything can kick in full-force but if not, we are going to love on her at home until she starts to crash again and then we won't let her feel bad anymore.

I have remained hopeful since she was admitted on Sunday, but it's starting to fade.  I don't know what else to say except that I am extremely sad right now.

Went to visit my puppy girl again.

Went to visit my puppy girl again.  Her platelets are at 5000 now; only 160,000 more to go!  😥  Her red blood cell count was slightly down this morning, but fluctuations aren't unexpected right now.  The vet isn't comfortable with releasing her yet, so she's spending another night.  She is eating well and looked a little perkier today.  She complained when we left her this time.  Poor old girl.  I hope we can get her home soon.  We miss her like crazy.

Shaun and I just took Kira out...


This girl right here is holding her own.

This girl right here is holding her own. We saw her briefly. She was sleeping when we got there and seemed happy to see us, but she tired out fast and started heading back to her kennel so she could lay back down. Good girl. Rest and heal. ❤️❤️❤️


Gotta brag on my girl!
