So, some of you know, but a lot of you don't know that I have 3 dogs. Bella (Black Lab 10yrs old), Willow (Yellow Lab 7yrs old), and Jasmine (Chocolate Lab 4yrs old).
For the past couple weeks, my oldest dog, Bella, her health has been declining. Declining to the points she doesn't want to touch food anymore, she shakes 24/7, and she has difficulty walking. So we finally took her to the vet this morning for her usual checkup, and we were told news that no-one with pets want to hear. She's dying.
Bella has been diagnosed with Stomach Cancer. The vet says that she is not in pain, she's just not hungry because of the cancer. Bella has been eating just enough to survive and not lose weight. She is past treatments with how old she is and how far the cancer has progressed, so the only thing we can do is keep her comfortable and spoil her until her last few days. She was given until the end of next week, August 9th, to live. However with how she is, it's very well possible that she'll slip away in her sleep sometime this week, the vet said with her condition. Or if she starts becoming in pain these next few weeks, the "humane" thing is to put her down.
Bella has been my dog for almost 11yrs. I've had her since I was 8yrs old (currently 20) and the pain of losing her, or even the thought of losing her is unbearable. And as a lot of you know, I've been binge-ing this game for 4-5 days now, but with the current situation, I will probably not be on as much in the coming weeks. Most of my time that I'm not working will be spent with her, the little time I have left.
I hope the server doesn't burn down without me :)
