Today I am having to grasp the quote of "people come in and out of your life for a reason" and I am not sure why this friend had to leave right now. The friend that I am referring to is my Miniature Dachshund Goldie. Sadly, I made the hardest decision of my life in deciding to let her go to a better place.
To make a long story short yesterday morning she went down to the yard and was fine. Then all of the sudden Grandma hears her yelp and go out and she can't use her back left leg. I actually stayed over at Scott's place Saturday night so she calls me and I come over and get her. At the ER the diagnosis was given that she had been paralized (from a bulging/ruptured disk in her back).
The diagnosis was not good at all. We had two options the first was to have surgery but it would be very expensive and it wouldn't guarantee that she would be fine after it. We opted to put her on steroids/pain med's and get a second opinion from our regular vet. After talking to her today she would never live a life that she had before. With this news it is only fair to her to let her go.
This brings us back to the quote. I am still trying to figure out what was Baby Girls purpose for her life with me. Gram says that she was here to fulfill the 'void' I had before I got involved with Kappa and Scott. I agree with her initial purpose but my issue comes into play with why did she have to leave. We are about to join "families" this fall and I was looking forward to living with Scott, Captain, & Goldie. I guess we will be starting a new chapter in life without Baby Girl but she will always be loved.
So with great sadness (not to mention how many tears have occurred over the past 2 days), Goodbye Baby Girl, Do-dot, Freddy, but the best name of them all- Goldie. We will miss you!
Here are some memory photos of Goldie....
