All Dogs Go to Heaven! This is my baby for those of you who don't know. Sage was a gift to myself and the kids when I left the sperm donor. Ironically she was given to me by my then mother in law! I know you can see how beautiful she is but omg she was the most amazing dog! She was absolutely awesome! She listened like no other there was not a mean bone in your body, but I do not doubt that had she sensed we were in danger she would have taken out the enemy in a minute. She was my best friend through so much...Good and Bad! She loved me as much as I loved her of this I am certain. A fur ball ... the likes of which I am sure I will never get rid of ... the boyfriend was always complaining about hair on his pillow etc...hehe he doesn't know that secretly when he wasn't home I would let her sleep with me at night and if I had to go out and run errands often I would put her in my room so she could have the bed to herself and watch TV...she was an old lady and deserved to be comfy!
Some of you know that a little over a year ago I had to put Sage in another home because the landlord found out I had her and apparently you have to have an ankle biter sized dog or nothing. I placed her with a coworker who had similar lifestyle to my own with kids to adore her. I believe that she was well taken care of with her but she was not happy. This past October the coworker sent me an IM and asked if I would take her back. Of course...screw the landlord! I was getting my baby back. All was right with the world again.
Things had been going wonderful until the middle of last week. My Sagen got very ill...she must have gotten sick and dogs eat stuff to make them puke when they are sick...with no grass to eat she took to household things including a sock and some carpet strands...She was sick all day on Wednesday and Thursday I left work early to take her to the vet! Hundreds of dollars later they really were unable to do anything or find anything out. I got antibiotics for her and took her home with me...I honestly thought that she would be alright in the end.
I put her in the bathroom that evening when I set out to take the kids to meet the foreigner to exchange kids for the weekend. She was having issues with the barium solution draining out and she had no control over it so I thought it was best to kind of confine her. When I came home I let her outside...she went potty and came back in but she was weak and couldn't hardly lift her paws. I brought her back in the bathroom...cleaned up the floor put on crappy clothes and laid on the floor sobbing! I was and still am a mess. I held her that night on my bathroom floor, cried like a baby, told her how I loved her so much and I was sorry she was so sick and that it was OK for her to go run again...I called the vet and took her in. I held her as she rested her head against my chest and she went to sleep...I just kept telling her that it was OK and that I loved her....OMG this has got to be one of the worst things ever!
I then had to explain to my 9 year old daughter why even though she prayed for Sage to be alright that Jesus knew that Sage was really sick and that only he could make her better in heaven!
Sage was such a huge part of our family and she will be missed greatly and for those of you who don't understand the importance of an animal I wish you would have met my Sage!
