Thank you to everyone for stopping by and wishing Hope a speedy recovery. I am sorry to have to report that Hope died this morning at 3:15 am. I so wanted to believe that she would get well again. At first it seemed hopeful. The medicine seemed to be helping and she was eating and drinking....but yesterday, she decided that she had been through enough. She stopped eating and drinking and she sat and she waited. Animals accept death more willing than humans. We fight like hell for the very last breath, but animals are different. They know the limits to which their bodies can take and when it is reached they let go......
It's as if they understand better than we, that life is supposed to be finite.
Good-bye sweet Hope, I will miss you.
