[Dailydrool] My Maggie

[TC Hull]

Hi Everyone,

 

I don't post often but I lost my Maggie yesterday.  I found her dead
when I got home from work.  She had just come home Wednesday afternoon
from being at the vet for 2 days because of a kidney problem.  They got
her kidney "values" to come down about a third.  They were very high, so
they put her on an IV and flushed her system out.  Her vet felt very
comfortable in letting her come home.  I was at home for lunch and she
seemed fine, although when I left for work in the morning she was
trembling quite a bit.  That is one reason I took her to the vet in the
first place, and she was losing some weight.  She was 9, I had her since
she was 7 weeks old.  You all didn't know her like some of our hound
friends on the drool, that is my fault for not posting about her.  She
was a wonderful little girl, very great personality, very gentle, very
demanding, we all know how that goes.  She has the biggest feet ever for
a little girl.  My husband always called her paws catcher's mitts.  He
would have her on his lap and do the "swing batter batter" thing with
her big paws.  So cute.  Everyone who met her loved her, all my friends
are crying too.  It doesn't seem that she suffered, I thought she was
just in a deep sleep when I first looked at her after I came in the
door.  My poor husband was on his way to PA, his brother's wife just had
a heart attack and stroke so he was on the way to be with him.  He
almost wrecked the car, I should have waited until later last night to
call him, but I was in panic mode and wasn't thinking.  I almost posted
about Maggie being in for her kidney treatment and asking for drool like
we all do, but I felt kind of guilty doing that because of all of
Nigel's problems.  I'm so happy by the way, that he will be with us for
a long time to come.  Every one of you guys knows how I feel, and I
certainly have shed my tears the times I read about someone else's
basset passing.  I miss her.  We also have a husky, she is lonely and
knows I'm upset.  I let her sniff Mag before we took her away and she
was sniffing the "spot" a lot last night.  I wish she could talk, she
knows what happened to Maggie, I just want her to be able to tell me she
didn't suffer.  I hope to rescue a basset some day when the time is
right.  GABR is involved at vet's office where Maggie was.  I'll know
when the time is right to do that.  I can't imagine my life at all
without having a basset hound, Mag was my first hound and now I'm
hooked.  I am having her cremated and will have her back home in a few
days.  I'm going now, I'm rambling and not making any sense any more.
