we went away to the beach for the weekend. At about 9:30 this morning we went to pick the dogs up at the kennel, which is run by our wonderful vet. she looked grim, said that Mae was having trouble breathing; she'd stabilized her but we needed to take her to the emergency room right away. we did. they discovered that not only was one of her lungs ( Read more... )

oh, hon. i'm so sorry, but i'm glad you decided to let her go quickly & peacefully rather than trying to keep her alive regardless of the cost to her. *hugs* to the three of you, and i'll light a candle for her. and probably do a little crying myself. >:(

thank you. left to my own devices, i probably would've waited too long, but E has a real moral compass about these things. thank god for her.

well, and at least you know that with you two she had a MUCH longer and happier life than she probably would've.

and hey, thanks so much for the candle. it really means a lot to me that so many people are helping to remember this little soul.

Oh my god, sweetie -- I'm so sorry. Really fucking sorry. She was an amazingly wonderful little beastie, and the one time I met her it was obvious that she was happy and had a wonderful wonderful life. God, I'm so sorry.

thank you. she was, wasn't she? she was a little queen and knew it. she slept on my freakin' head. like a hat. tough luck to me if i wanted a bit of pillow. her life was a little bit of alright.

nothing to say but that i'm thinking of you real hard.

and that i'm really sorry. you're a good kind person the book omg the book and this is not waht you deserved, or she deserved.

unknownid August 18 2004, 09:33:57 UTC

thanks, hon. i do wish she'd had longer to enjoy the last phase of her life -- and that we'd had longer to enjoy her -- but i'm glad we had as long as we did.

you read? you liked? have you read emma donoghue before? does she live down the street from you? i cried the first time i read the "cinderella" story. i so needed girl-girl myths.

klaxonnez August 18 2004, 11:20:05 UTC

I hadn't read her before, I'd never even heard of her before! right now kate has the book, and she's enjoying it too

unknownid August 18 2004, 12:03:46 UTC

oh goody, i was afraid you'd be all waving your cigarette holder and saying "darling, i read emma donoghue when i was seven, but aren't you sweet to think of it."

IS LESBO CANADIAN AUTHOR. go stalk her now pls.

They're lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

unknownid August 18 2004, 09:38:06 UTC

thank you for saying that about the pictures. it's tremendously soothing to know that people are taking the time to look at her pictures and see what a funny pretty girl she was. she lived her life mostly within the walls of our house, but i don't want elizabeth & me to be the only ones who know that she existed.
