January 11, 1998 - April 26, 2011
Tonight was a very sad night. I came home from work and mom said there is something wrong with Snoopy. She was sitting on dad's lap for a good 20 minutes and mom said to dad that it looked like she was having a stroke. The first weird thing is that Snoopy NEVER sits on anyone's lap for ANY length of time.
I have noticed the past few days that Snoopy hasn't been herself. She is looking more lost and almost confused. BUT she was eating, doing her business with no problems.
So I took her to the vet and when she had her heart listened too, it was irregular which it has never been. Then the vet checked her pulse and when her heart beat, the vet couldn't get a pulse at the location she was testing. Snoopy also had a swollen belly which I thought was because she just ate. But she had a swollen spleen and liver.
The vet indicated the Snoopy could stay overnight and have tests but she didn't think it would help and could possibly be detrimental. It was at that time that I made the decision to let her go. This was very hard. The vet injected her and it didn't take more than a minute before my sweet Snoopy girl was gone. She slumped over and looked just like she was sleeping. I will never forget the way she looked.
Snoopy has been through a lot and has been a really good girl for the 13+ years we've been together. She was my confidant, friend and good cuddler (when she was in the mood!).
I will miss you dearest Snoopy and know that you are at peace causing havoc with Cali in heaven.
