Callie

[Lovetodream88]

I will write something later maybe in a few days but I wanted to let y’all know and ask for prayers. Callie with help from our vet passed away in my arms yesterday afternoon. She had dropped to 12 pounds which was 4 pounds under her ideal weight Of 16 pounds. She was starting to get confused especially at night, she was occasionally losing bladder control when sleeping, her Cushings was eating away at her muscle and her IBD was getting to where I don’t think she was absorbing any nutrients, she was refusing to take her pills, only wanted treats not food, she couldn’t get comfortable, she was hiding in the toy box or in rooms no one else was in, and she was mostly sleeping on the floor and not getting to beds. My heart is completely broken. Please keep my whole family as well as Callie’s siblings in your prayers.

I’m so sorry. That’s always a painful decision, even when you know it’s the right one.

My prayers are with you. I am so sorry. The pain of losing one of our babies can be unbearable.

I'm so sorry little Callie is gone. I wish I had some words that could help but you know that once the shock wears off, grief worsens. I do have prayer for your healing from it and use of your coping skills, your loving family and your other, sweet fur babies to comfort you and Callie's family and help you all come through it one day. Hugs.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of grief! We lost our precious little Graysee on Feb. 29 this year to kidney disease, so I know exactly what you are going through. I still cry daily as I miss her so much. Even though it was required to end her suffering, it was so hard to feel her life slip away as I held her in my arms. Nothing has been so difficult before in my life. Please know that your precious pup will be waiting for you when your time comes. 😥🙏💔

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope the pain in your heart will be eased by the beautiful memories you have of Callie.
My thoughts and prayers are with Callies' siblings and all of your family.

I read that 'Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole'.
It's so true. Take care.

Oh Taylor, reading this while tears are streaming! You know that I understand that terrible anticipation, while trying every possible route to keep them with us, and at the same time knowing that you will soon have to step in to let them go...I know how hard these last few months have been for you, but know that you have done all that you could before giving Calllie your final act of love by letting her go to the Rainbow Bridge. Stay strong for your other babies, but take some time to yourself during the coming days. There are many here who are with you in spirit, and are sending you love and hugs in your time of need.

R.I.P. Sweet Callie...you are dearly missed!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure the decision was a very difficult one but sometimes we have to make decisions with our heads instead of our hearts. You did what was best for Callie but not necessarily best for you.

Oh Taylor, I am so very sorry to hear Callie is gone. Try to take comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and running free at Rainbow Bridge. The last act of love we can give our babies is to set them free of pain. keeping you and the furies in my thoughts and prayers (((hugs)))

Thank you everyone. Last night was so bad. I went to grab the pups night shirts and hers was one top and that’s when the full break happened. I gathered myself enough to get everyone ready for bed but cried myself to sleep. Callie had to have full access to the house at night so she could get water and potty but the youngest two could have that full house access so just Callie was sleeping in my room and the others upstairs with my parents so I was alone and it was hard last night. I’m going to start the process of moving them back to my room soon. Penny who has never snapped at me snapped at me last night, Joey keeps hiding and just not wagging his tail that much and Ollie is just sad looking. They aren’t really looking for her though kinda like they knew. Callie was my first so I had never let one go before and it was very hard and didn’t know what expect. When they gave her the sedation she fought it but when they gave her the last medicine she didn’t have any of the things that sounded terrible that they said might happen. Many of the staff at the vets office told her goodbye. My vet was only letting one person in but she made an exception for my mom they said this was the only exception she has made. You can never really prepare yourself for that and the after effects.

Sadly, we've mostly all been there, recall too well and hurt right along with you. Anything we can do we'll do to try to ease this time for you. I loved her, too, from this forum. Callie was a special girl to me, loved hearing your stories, seeing her pictures. Each loss of a YorkieTalk Yorkie is a loss to our hearts,too. We feel we've come to know each of them virtually. Your posts today bring back the times we've all had to kiss, hold them, look into that precious little face for the last time and watch them leave and it wrecks you. But the wonderful times they've brought, the truest love and special memories help you through.

I'm so sorry she's gone. Little Callie was so beautiful.

I am so sorry Taylor. Your beautiful Callie lived a charmed life with you.

I have been praying for all of you during this time. You know I am here if you need to talk.

I'm so sorry little Callie is gone. Sending lots of love and prayers to your family and to your pack.
