Leslie and Squirt,
Hugs, kisses, and belly rubs coming your way.
My Sweet Bebe is still with me. Had I followed my intent, she would have been gone over a week now. But thankfully I listened to her and waited. She is better than she has been in about 2 months! :)
She is eating and drinking on her own again, even asking for most of her meals. She has more energy and is more alert even tho she still sleeps 15-20 hours a day. She has been able to walk around outside on uneven ground without support for 3 days now, squatting to do her business without sinking down into the mess. I’ve seen her stumble a few times and she is able to catch herself before falling…tho she doesn’t want to walk more than a couple of steps without me by her side even tho the sling is not in use. She is weak and wobbly, and knows it, so she wants me close by just in case.
Three times over the last few weeks I thought I was seeing her pass. She just crumbled to the floor and was not responsive nor could I detect any breath. The first time it happened, I hollered her name, shook her, then, thinking she was gone, I snatched her up to hold her. When I grabbed her up, she jerked her head around and looked at me like “WTH, Mom?” Scared me when she jerked her head and I think I scared her snatching her up like I did. The next two times were the same except I picked her up more carefully and when I picked her up, she came to like the first time. I don’t know if dogs faint or not, nor am I sure what these events were, but she was not responsive any of the three times until I picked her up.
She’s not as good today as she had been the couple of days prior but something weird happened night before last. Squirt has been consenting to being brushed lately so I have been putting her on the bed at night to brush her for a bit. Night before last she fell sound asleep while brushing so I let her sleep where she was. Around 8pm she started whining, as if dreaming. But the whining didn’t stop. It kept on and on, getting louder and louder til she was almost screaming. Then she yelped very loudly a few times. Sophie and Fox came running from the LR, Trink jumped up from her sleep growling, Brick came out of his box barking, even little Grace poked her head out of her box and was looking around – Squirt was that loud. After the yelps I couldn’t wake her. She was breathing normally tho so I left her and just watched. Around 8:20 she suddenly sat up and vomited the supper she had eaten at 4. She was more restless for a while after then fell into a sound sleep. Her energy and confidence level have been lower and she seems a tad bit more confused about things since this happened. I’m not sure if this was a really bad nightmare and she was so sound asleep I couldn’t wake her or if something was happening inside that hurt, but the sounds she made were terrible.
I don’t know how long this improvement will hold but I’m grateful to see it. I’ll be peeking in on the site more but will still be devoting the vast majority of my time and energy to Squirt and our remaining time together.
Hugs,

Wow...how amazing that your little Squirt has such a will to live and now doing better even than she was. She has a lot of strength! Wonder what she was seeing in her sleep last night. I love how all the others woke up to check on what was going on.
Glad you have this time with her and the evening brushing sessions sound like a relaxing time for both of you.
Wishing Squirt more happy and peaceful days at home with you.

Leslie:
I think Squirt may outlive some of us! I thank God she is better and that you have more time to enjoy her. That is all we ever want is to enjoy our beloved babies. I am hoping she sets a record and goes on and on for both your sakes. That made my day so much better knowing you still have her and she is showing some improvement. Blessings
