Well yesterday was a very hard day for the Stomski household...Our dog Taffie(the litle cockapoo) has been acting funny the last 3 weeks i have had her to the vet and lots of blood work done and it really didnt show to much all the vital organs were functioning the way they should. it started off with her drinking lots of water and just being mopie. Then it moved on from there to not eating her dog food..(she was12) so i started feeding her people food cause i thought she was just getting spoiled from eating all that..fast forward to the last 3-4 days she would eat something and vomit, So yesterday i took her to the vet again, and this time they did a xray and i just knew it wasnt going to be good news.. the Dr comes in with a laptop and shows me the News i already figured. Taffie has Cancer...The first thing i asked him. "Is she in Pain" and he didnt hesitate on that answer.. The tumor wasnt the kind that could be operated on it was just under her spine pressing on her stomach and other organs so for a small dog thats a big one..I leave the Vet and call Kris on the way home He prepares the kids. I asked about how long she had and Dr Hicks couldnt give me a answer but i knew it was a matter of a few days they tumor was making her anemic her gums and inner ears werent pink anymore. I got home and we all of course were bawling our eyes out.Taking lots of pictures and i am sure that Maddison and Stoughton (the big dogs) knew something was wrong. I called the Vet back and we went back there. Poor Kris she was as we called her his Butt Warmer cause she was always laying right against him in bed on the couch So he took it hard...The vet gave her the 1st shot of morphine and when she was relaxed enough we were able to feel the tumor and Now we know it was the right choice it was big to the touch we were able to stay with her the whole time even after the 2nd shot was given. they gave us a baby blanket and i wrapped her up and of course lots of tears and she went peaceful...We choose to get her ashes back and i am going to put her on the same table as Mom's ashes. I had a 8x10 Picture that they took around easter at the groomer so i put that in a frame and her collars actually i just bought her a new one that day too She wore the same color for 10 yrs. and placed them on her pillow with the picture in front of the fire place so it looks like she is there propped on her pillow still..
Taffie was our 1st dog as a Family but i know my mom was waiting for her with open arms and ready to pull her beard..(we had her groomed as a poodle) So when her hair on her face got a little longer mom would say come here let me pull your beard..Well i have depressed you all enough thanks for listening... Hugs...
