LOA Making it official

[Briana Sal-Soren]

As some of you know, our dog hasn't been doing well. We were looking into treatment options for her, but are now having to look into end of life care instead.

For obvious reasons, I am taking an LoA to spend time with my family and dog before we have to say goodbye to her.

I'm sorry to those I'm in threads with, especially any group threads. Please just skip over Briana and continue on without me.

Ciao, bellas

Hug your family. We will be here.

 

[Caltin Vanagor]

Don't you dare feel the need to apologize. This episode od RL is WAY more important than some stupid game od RP.

Give the doggo her best life as long as you still can and be a close family as long as you need to

 

[WelshPsych]

Spoil her as much as possible.

Here for you if you ever need to chat to someone! Take all the time that you need!

 

[Lorn Reingard]

I’m so sorry Amz. Will be thinking of you, let us know if you need anything.

 

[Kitter Bitters]

I'm so sorry for your doggie I will pray for her. Give her so much love.

 

[Vazela]

Take all the time you need.

 

[Silas Westgard]

Sorry to hear Amz.

Dogs are family, so please take all the time you need.

So, suffice to say that this has been an incredibly stressful week. One heatstroke, a trip to the ER, and a concussion later, and after calling several places trying to find a suitable place to put down our girl, we were finally told by a vet tech about the option to take her down to the SPCA for an emergency surrender to get her the operation she needed. It felt very bitter sweet and was its own kind of grief, but the best option if it meant she could live.

Once we got down there, we were informed that we could potentially reclaim her once they determined she was fit for surgery and she came out of it okay (still having to pay for the surgery, but at a much more doable and reasonable price than any of the vets and/or hospitals we called). If they determined she wasn't fit for surgery, they would put her down, but the choice was officially out of our hands.

Waited the last three days to see what way the dice would roll, then finally got the call that we can come down to pick her up. Huge relief. Very happy this was the end result. Thankful for that vet tech who told us this was a potential option when we ran out of hope and were ready to give up.

That said, I will be taking care of her post-surgery, so I will still be on LoA for at least the next week.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out and for being understanding.
