I lost my girl on Mother's Day.. I can't even put into words how I feel. I've stopped crying. I'm just empty. Lying here hugging her Lambchop Baby. She was truly my best friend. She has gotten me through some of the lowest points of my life She was the one thing that made coming home to this place worth it. She was my companion, my travel buddy, my shadow, my baby. I don't think there was a dog loved more. I don't even know how to move forward from this.
I trusted her care to a Rover this weekend. My normal sitter was unavailable. This girl had high ratings. I gpt a call this morning at 6:35. Tazzy had gotten into the garbage last night. This morning the Rover tied her to a lead I specifically told her not to use. Tazzy took off chasing a rabbit and was snapped back violently. She immediately had trouble breathing .
I made home in under 2 hours. Matt had picked her up and taken her to the emergency vet. She had fluid around her lungs and heart. There was nothing they could do. The vet said without further testing, we don't know if she had been sick or if this was caused from the trauma. Matt told her I was coming and asked her to hold on. My girl did. Loyal to the very end. I was able to say my good byes and told her it was ok to go. She died 15 minutes later with Matt and I loving on her.
I am FOREVER thankful to Matt for taking her so she was with someone she loved and not alone. Not sure I will EVER forgive myself for not taking her and getting an AIRBNB. Right now I'm just trying to breathe.
Fly high my precious Tazzy. I loved you with every bit of my being. You will be so missed. ๐
