Monday, January 05, 2004 Tonite, while burning holiday pictures on disc for my family, I came across this picture I took of Cookie about four days before she passed:  I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that Cookie was dying which is why I took pictures of her in her bed, at home, just in case she didn't come back. Looking at her face now, I see the pain and the sadness that I didn't want to completely see at the time. Actually, seeing these pictures really breaks my heart because I had to have known then, I was losing her. But, seeing the picture, also immediately reminds me what it was like to hold her and touch her, what she smelled like, the little noises she made...all things I feared I was slowly forgetting. All of this also reminds me of the day I took her to the VCA Hospital (the week before) and they ran tests on her. I was so worried, but hopeful. Then, I got the phone call that Cookie was responding well to the IV and that she started eating more. The vet was hopeful and certainly, so was I. I remember hanging up the phone and then dancing around my apartment relieved that I didn't have to say good-bye yet. Once again, the dog I thought would live to be 50 was beating the odds of being sick and would pull through. I was scared that my feeling of relief was premature, but who could argue with the vet? I didn't want to listen to the nagging feeling inside my gut that told me not to celebrate too soon. I hate when I'm right. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
