I know it has been five plus weeks since my last post. When I returned home from Florida, we picked up Libby our Miniature Schnauzer. She wasn’t acting herself and had lost weight and her eyes were runny. I took her to the vet the next day thinking she had an eye infection. Unfortunately, I was given the news that she had Lymphoma. The prognosis was not good, but I did expect to have a couple more months with her. She had perked up some and was eating good and seeming not to know she was sick.
But things changed in the last few days. She started going downhill quickly and we had to do the best thing for our sweet Libby.
Libby came to live with us back in September 2004. She was a rescue dog. We never really knew how old she was and knew nothing of her background. She is the first dog I ever really had that was mine. Libby really took me by surprise as I never consider myself a “dog” person but she loved me and taught me so much about unconditional love. She made herself right at home in our house and in our hearts. Our time with her was shorter than we thought it would be. But I’m so glad she was ours for that time.
I’m sorry this is a sad post. I know some of you already know thru Facebook about Libby. I will get back into the blogging groove eventually. I just wanted to let you know what has happened.
Thank you all for your support.
Joy
