January 18, 1999 - January 31, 2009
My instincts from my earlier post seemed to be accurate.
My husband woke me up around midnight to tell me Kaly wasn't acting right. She was pacing around the house, vomited and seemed disoriented.
We decided to take her to the emergency vet and she had bloat. Bloat is something large breed dogs get and it's when the stomach twists and begins to distend. It usually happens after a dog eats and then runs around.
Neither of us can figure out how she got it. The only "cure" is to do surgery to try to untwist the stomach. It's a risky surgery when the dog is healthy otherwise. With Kaly's advanced age and her kidney failure, we didn't want to put her through that.
We're both heartbroken. I've played this moment in my head over and over. I do feel a sense of relief because she's not suffering anymore but it's hard to accept because she was doing better. I never imagined it would happen like this.
She was the best dog anyone could ask for. She had such a sweet personality and never asked anything of you.
We'll miss you sweet girl.

I'm so sorry. She's was so beautiful.
Ohhh Suzanne,
I am so very sorry. Even when there is some foreshadowing of what might come it still doesn't ease the pain or make the inevitable less painful ;o(
Your Kaly was so beautiful.
I hope you and your DH are doing well...considering...
Praying and wishing you all the best,
Anna

I'm really sorry.
There is no happiness in losing a dog... but there is great happiness in knowing that you were a wonderful dog owner.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope she is at peace.
Oh, I'm so sorry Suzanne. Your dog was just so pretty. I hope she is in peace and that you can find some peace after her loss.
Just wanted you to know, I am thinking of you.
Losing a pet is never easy and I hope you begin to feel better soon.
With time, your pain will ease. God bless her and know that you did what was best for her. Ten beautiful years... I'm sure she loved every moment.
I hope you feel better soon an can remember the lovely days she gave you.
I'm so sorry, Suzanne. Nothing can fully prepare us for the loss of someone we love.
You gave her a great life and it sounds like she was a happy girl even at the very end.
Many hugs, hun.
Kaly was so, so beautiful. What a loving, gorgeous face. I am so sorry for your loss, but what a wonderful life I'm sure she lead.
It takes such enormous courage to make the selfless decision to say goodbye to your beloved dog when you know it is right. I am sure Kaly is grateful for your lifelong love. RIP, sweet Kaly.
