Mira, 7yr old Husky - Cushings ruled out; liver cancer (Mira has passed)

It's hard not to count the days and months, isn't it? I'm still in that stage as well, even tho' my new little one keeps me occupied. :o

I like to look at photos of Mandy w/her doggy pals...I've got some cute ones and they do remind me of nicer times. I wish she had a chance to meet little Pebbles; I had been thinking about making the addition to the family many months before Mandy's passing, but held off.

But, who knows? I think if I made the choice earlier, it would not have been little Pebbles :)

I just can't get it out of my head. Mira happily doing her wild patty cake thing, tearing into the house ninty miles an hour or outside diligently possuim hunting. Then the next day she can't hardly walk. A week later I learn that she's dying! Where the hell did that come from? How can a dog with that much energy and life now be dying? I can't get out of my head that image of her. I would say to her life is good huh?? And she'd happily dash off into the other room. She had become such a sweet heart. Finally after six years the separation anxiety had gone away. Everything seemed wonderful at long last. Then "cushing's"? WTF? I can't get that out of my head. The whole thing seems unreal. Her walking.. I remember coming back from walking her and saying to Bud... How can she get this bad so fast? It had been only a few days. We were out running the week before. How could she have hid it so well? Why did obvious indications be so misunderstood or explained away. Like I said my husband thought I was nuts to take her to the vet. I wondered that myself. Was I being over protective or was this weird feeling real? We both thoroughly expecting it was nothing. Oh hell, Bud is sitting here playing with Neeka. She tried to bite him but ended up falling over his feet instead. Oh he is teaching her all the wrong stuff but he loves her. Oh well.

Hello Meary Moo. Wish you were here.

OMG, Janis, what incredibly, amazing pictures. I am in tears, myself, here. What a wonderful way to honor Mira. Thank you so much for sharing part of her life with us. We are so much the better for it and will never forget your beautiful girl's face.
But she is not gone from you, her love and beauty lives in you and has allowed you to make room in your heart for another precious soul. Mira would be so proud of her mom.
You have come a long way. It's not easy. But Mira is with all her new friends playing in a body that is healthy and whole. She is running free and will watch over you until, one day, you see her again.
We live in the California desert and the night sky here is so clear. I can see the twinkling stars of all our angel babies bursting with light and happiness against the dark sky. I say goodnight to all of them, every night, and I believe with my whole heart they are watching over all of us.
Try to find some peace in knowing that you shared a moment in time that some people never get to experience. Short as that time was, it was an incredible gift. You loved her, she loved you. That bond can never be broken. You were an amazing mom.
Love & many warm hugs

You know... I'm home almost 24/7. I know this house well and all the sounds it makes. Maybe six times now I've heard sounds that make no sence at all. Just today in the top corner of the room I was in a cracking sound. Not so uncommon but it was the sound that followed that I can't even find words for. Kira walked in the room a second later. She's only been in that room like four times since Mira passed. Kira did you hear that? She excepted the hug and a pat on the head and quit the room again. In the kitchen five days ago. Another sound. I don't go look. I don't want to look for her. Cus she won't be there. Looking for her will just make things worse. Ho geez.. Neeka just threw up for the first time ever. I don't think I want to talk about this anymore. Neeka is telling me she's fine. Mira, she's gone. But i cant help but wonder.

Today I needed to go get meds for Kira. So I loaded up the dogs. Neeka is in training for travel. We are heading for ACC.*And I'm**crying thinking about Mira. When we got there I told Neeka this is where your Auntie Mira died. I was in there for about fifteen minutes. Looking at all these faces that I remember so well. They have five receptionists.**I saw dr Diehl.*I wondered if any of them remembered me. It's been two months. Three since mira died. It's a busy place. Nobody said anything. I thought about bringing Neeka in to met them but I didn't. My Mira... Damn

Happy Birthday Mira! Where ever you are!

I have a little green digital clock on the table beside me. It flashes back and forth between the time and the date. I looked at it a few moments ago and see that suddenly parts of the digital numbers are missing. The battery must be low. How odd that would happen at this moment. But I already know it's February 27th.

Happy Birthday Mira.

I'm so tired.

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful friend.Mira.
I cried through the whole video.
hugs Sonja and Apollo

Being fairly new to this site, I just saw the beautiful pictures you posted. I too am grieving a very new loss of my Princess Leia. She had Cushings, but I also suspect liver disease. I know what you mean about hearing the noises. I look for her in faces of others, and feel she is close by. I believe your Mira is also close by, so thankful of the time you had together. We can only hold onto the wonderful memories we had with our furry friends. I fell so blessed to have had the time I did, as I am sure you are too. I think that one day we will all be reunited with all of those we have cared for throughout our lives. My thoughts are with you as we travel through our grief.
