I'm at work, and just thought I'd post an update on Sandy. Blood work, x-rays all point to a diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma Those of you who have had dogs with this, know how suddenly it can and does occur, and that there is sadly nothing that can be done. After I speak to the rescue and get the needed 'approval' we'll say our good-byes and send her to the Rainbow Bridge.
Thank-you all for your positive thoughts and prayers for Sandy. I know she has just come to us, and we hardly know her, but I'd hoped for more time...
So sorry to hear the news, had hoped for something better. At least she came to you before going to the Rainbow Bridge.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I'm so sorry. Hemangiosarcoma is such an awful killer disease that all Portie people fear. You're making the right choice for the poor girl. We're thinking of you and her today.

Big hugs to you and Sandy.
Oh, my heart breaks... I'm so sorry. Please find some solace in knowing you made her final days so much better than they might have been!!

ReplyDeleteKim, we are so sorry, we had hoped and prayed for a better outcome.

Oh, Kim, how heartbreaking, there is some injustice there, just don't know exactly who to point the finger at. Such a shame, you had hopes for her calm retirement, too bad is was too short to really get to know her, but I know you fell in love and that hurts. I am so sorry you have to take someone to the Bridge so soon. I feel so bad for the both of you. This is one time.... I really, really wish I was there to help with the hurt.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs
Poor baby-girl. I am so sad for Sandy and for you and the crew, who have all been robbed of spending precious and companionable time together.
ReplyDeleteSending love to help give you the strength to get through this.
xx and an extra big x and a hug for Sandy.
O no !!!..tears in my eyes....so sad news !!......big hugs for you......Goodby Sandy......xxx...
ReplyDeleteI wish the diagnosis could have been better for Sandy. We are thinking of you both today.
ReplyDeleteOh no Kim, I am so sorry to read this, poor, poor Sandy. You really have had a terrible day haven't you hun. Sending you big hugs. (((( ))))

I am so sorry to hear this news Kim. I guess the Lord had other plans for sweet Sandy. My heart and prayers are with you at this time and please do give Sandy a huge hug from myself and my kitties....
ReplyDeleteSandy if you get the chance please give my love to all my buddies when you meet up with them!

I'm so sorry! Thank you for giving her love and care and a peaceful end. xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteSounds like she may have come to just the right place. {{{hug}}}
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I'm so sorry. There aren't words to describe how unfair this is for Sandy. My thoughts are with Sandy, you, and Carl.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kim my heart is heavy. I stopped by to check and see if there were any news, but I surely didn't expect this.
ReplyDeleteI hope there is even the smallest chance the vet has wrongly diagnosed, sweet Sandy deserves that.
In the event she is to cross the Rainbow Bridge, I know she feels loved and wanted by you and your family.
Bless her.
Hugs,
~Jo
I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you, bless you, for taking her in, so she is loved and cared for in her final days. Your strength and compassion is unique and boundless.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking over the bad news. You will be much in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see it wasn't to be -
ReplyDeleteBut she'll know love and it will carry her beyond 'here' -
I agree with the others - Cancer just plain sucks -
I'm very sorry to hear this. I was hoping she just had the blues due to being in a new place.
ReplyDeletePerhaps she could muster up the appetite for one last bit of burger?
Please take care.
Carolyn
So sorry to hear this news. I'm glad she's had this time with you!
ReplyDeleteJill
I don't know a lot about you since this is my first time visiting Golden Pines, but I can tell you that Sandy was very lucky to find you and to be able to be with humans like you during her last days.
ReplyDeleteSending all my fourlegged love
Bert

ReplyDeleteWhen crossing the rainbow bridge gonna be happy because she fell asleep knowing the amaban.Por you please take care, I send my love and my best wishes for them to meet this new pain.
See you soon.
We are so sorry - we know how fast those can occur. We will keep you in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSam
I'm so sorry, Kim! We lost our first golden to hemangiosarcoma, and I can relate to the surprise speed with which it arises. I'm sure Sandy couldn't have a more loving sendoff, though.

We wish you all the best Kim and know that Sandy's short stay has made a difference in her life.
