I can't tell you how much everyones kind words and support have helped us through the last month with our beloved Leah. I knew I had to let you all know the end had come but didn't feel I couldn't say much as it made it too real but and as I said your words have given Andrew, James and me a lot of comfort so thank you for that, it helped to know Leah, our party girl was loved by so many people and not just us and as it was said in a private message she touched a lot of people especially thoses who have her children and grandchildren. The end came all too quickly her upset tummy proved a bit of a decoy in the end she was unable to pass any urnine at all and the urge to go was so immense for her she just couldn't stop straining. Basically she had a full bladder and no way to empty it without sugery, there was a great risk she would rupture her bladder and no way the tumor could be removed it was not in her bladder but in her Urethra so it block it all. Andrew and I could see no point of putting through anymore as the outcome was inevitable and although it would of given her more time with us, that would of been selfish and we knew the best and kindest thing we could do for Leah was to let her go. It has broken our hearts to lose our very special girl so soon but we will always be glad she was so well right up to the last few hours. The club show provided Lea Lou with a lovely day out she so enjoyed her day out and all the special attention she recieved I will always remember her sat on the grass lapping it all up.
Our other dogs are quiet except for Diva who keeps wanting to play the fool and make us laugh, she is being silly with a purpose, she also astounded us by washing Prima's bits, something she was never keen to do with her own babies, does this mean she is going to take Leahs place as the Mum to all? I don't know but she is the last one we expected to do it.
Thanks again from us all and from a very sad and quiet Blitzan home.
