My Elly
you came into our life 3.5 years ago just a tiny tiny pup we were nervous how bracken would take to you, but she loved you from the start, we have had three wonderful years together, years of romping on the beach, jumping in the swimming pool (even christmas day last year you jumped into that freezing water, loving every minute of it) the summers you would steal all my fruit off the bushes, often i would catch you lying upside down under the bushes eating the gooseberries and raspberries, the strawberries never stood a chance, you loved them so much. You breathed new life into bracken and found your own place in my heart, where you will live forever, every sunday you would be there waitng when we came back from the boot sale, dive in the bag for your new toy, there always was one. You have brought so much love and laughter into my life, I do not regret one tiny minute of it, today I had to do the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, today we found you had acute leukemia, your liver was huge, and there was nothing we could do for you, in just a short week you had gone from fun loving beach playing girl to swollen and in pain, so knowing there was nothing anyone could do to help you, I took your pain from you and took that pain into my heart and we released you to play with ebony at rainbow bridge and you quietly went to sleep knowing we were with you and loving you so very much. As much as it hurts and if I knew we would only have 3 years together, I would still do it all again. So go play with ebony my angel elly, one day we will see you again. I love you so very much, they say during a lifetime we cry 120 pints of tears, I think I have done that and more today, goodnight sweet girl. xx
Acute leukemia is very rare still in dogs and is hard to diagnose, symotoms include, depression, tiredness, shifting lameness, swollen liver, tempreture, sometimes it does not show on blood tests. Being acute it comes on very quickly and sadly as yet there is no successful treatment.
We only had Elly for three short years, but they were good years and although her life was far too short, it was a good life for which I am very thankful for.
Bracken is missing elly alot, but we are there with her all day every day.
