I know i haven't posted in months. I wouldn't even know where to start because its all been surreal and so hard.

Lincoln is still chugging along and started earning reductions a few months back. He is down to 5.25u from 7u and just keeps amazing me. His progress is one of the good spots in my crazy life right now.

Savannah has been my fighter from the day i found her under my greenhouse. And just over a week ago something was really wrong. I got her into the vet and they figured it was cystitis. We started treatment. Monday this week we did blood work -- all came back normal. But then she started having problems breathing. I rushed her to the vet Saturday morning for when they opened. The vet couldn't believe the change from Monday. We ended up doing an xray. It wasn't good. There was either a mass in her lungs or the sac around her heart was filled with fluid. Either way there wasn't much capacity left for air. I brought her home and we tried to give her pred to calm everything down and make her comfortable. But when i went to give her the pred at midnight she seem to get it caught in her throat. I gave her tuna juice. She lapped some up. But then it all came back up - no pill just the juice. She then laid down on the floor, mouth opening just fighting for air. I couldn't let her suffer. I phoned the vet and took her there. I never left her side. I laid my face down to hers and just kept telling her she could lay down the boxing gloves and chase butterflies and to look for Seth he would take care of her. I never left her....

I am still in shock and part of me is looking for her and part of me knows she is gone. I am missing her so much and wishing i had one more day with her. But i know i will always want one more day. Just trying to make it through today.

So sorry to hear that it was Savannah's time to leave you :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

No matter how long we have them, it's never long enough, and to have them go so quickly, with no warning can be even harder on us beans.

Fly free Savannah and land softly....there are many friends at the Bridge to welcome you and keep you company until the day when the one you love most comes to be with you forever cat_wings>o
 
So very sorry that it was Savannah's time to go to the Bridge. I know your heart is broken, and I hope your treasured memories of her will help it to heal. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Rest now, sweet Savannah. Your mamabean knows you'll be waiting for her at the Bridge~cat_wings>o

I am so sorry that Savannah has crossed the Bridge. You gave the greatest gift of love and now she is free of suffering now, but I know your heart is heavy.

I'm so sorry it was her time to cross.
You did the absolute best you could caring for Savannah and gave her all the love you could. When the unfortunate time came, you gave her the gift of selfless love by letting her go where she will be comfortable, pain free and waiting at the bridge with all her FD friends.
 
((Amber)) I'm so so sorry, my heart hurts for you. It's the worst thing we are faced with and you did everything right. I've asked Doodles to watch out for her. Saying prayers for you and give Lincoln extra snuggles :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
I am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful Savannah. It's very hard when losing our babies. They always take a piece of our heart with them. I'm so sorry. RIP Savannah
 
(((Amber))), Your beautiful girl is safely at the Bridge. Our GAs are giving her a big welcome and I know that she is "in good paws" until that wonderful day when you will meet again.
Fly free, lovely Savannah, on your beautiful new golden wings. You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,
Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)

I'm very sorry your heart is broken. But don't forget, they make a home in our hearts, when first we come to love them, And their love remains snuggled in there.:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
((((Amber)))))
I sent word to Gussie as well, he will make sure Savannah is given the grand tour and warm welcome...and that clouds of butterflies flutter all around her...
I am so very sorry and my heart sends a gentle hug to yours, I know it doesn’t make the unreal any more sane feeling, but know that it is sent your way gently.:bighug::bighug:
Fly free Savannah...land gently:bighug::bighug:
 
All of your words and wishes mean so much. She was such a fighter even in the end. My little runt that i found at 1/2 lb under my greenhouse. If anyone would understand what i was feeling, i knew it would be this group. Thank you all so much. It truly helps to know i am not alone.

Oh Amber, I am so, so sorry for your loss! It sounds like she was in such distress and there was nothing else to do. That doesn’t make it any easier, though. My heart goes out to you for your loss. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Fly free, sweet Savannah...cat_wings>o
 
{{{Amber}}}

I am so deeply sorry to read that you have lost your sweet Savannah. I know this is a heart-wrenching time for you, but take comfort in knowing that you gave her the greatest gift of all, the most selfless gift we beans can give to our fur babies - her freedom. It cost you dear, but you gave it without hesitation. She will be watching over you from the Bridge until the day comes when you will be reunited. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Fly free, dear Savannah, and land softly. :rb_icon:
 
I am so very saddened for you, Amber, that your sweet Savannah crossed the bridge. It is so hard at any time but when it comes on so suddenly and we see them in distress, it is even harder on our hearts. We would think setting them free from being afraid, from discomfort, etc, will help us but a broken heart is a broken heart. Just know that she is very grateful and will always love you.

Gentle journey, sweet Savannah.
 
May endless butterflies and sunbeams await her at the Bridge, and may all of the wonderful memories you created together bring you comfort and peace until you see her again someday.

Fly free sweet Savannah. :rb_icon:
