Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ -- Update on the Rojas family dogs--not MS-related/ DO NOT COPY TO OTHER GROUP OR PERSON, Please! As many of you know, I own four wolf-dogs (hybrids) who arecurrently residing at the home of my dear friend who has MS,Edna, and her elder son, who live nearby.The most energetic of the "pups," 10-year-old Two Moons(white quarter moon above each eye), recently had surgeryto have a giant benign cyst removed. She has recoveredjust beautifully. It will be a miracle if Edna's son survivesall this, as you will read.So, Two Moons' stitches are out; the plastic cone aroundher neck and head is off and she is tearing around the place; fortunately, they own two lots of land! The twoother "pups" are joining her in play. However:Now, the mother, OOKI, (Aleut for "Talks a Lot") who isonly 18 years old (126 in human years), and has beendiagnosed with metastasized cancer YEARS ago, isfinally on her way out. . .appears to have had a stroke,cannot move since yesterday, and Edna and son aretrying to find a way to euthanise her at home--which wouldbe legal in Oregon and in many other states, but is not here.So, I had told some of the residents and friends in my apartment building about this. One guy, noting that a resident hadrecently succumbed, just arrived with enough morphine to takedown a tiger; he somehow got the building manager to let himinto the deceased's apartment and just brought it to me. I just peeled the name off each and every one of the thesevials. Edna and I are both diabetic, so we have syringes.You get the picture: The son really wants to do this, but Ednawants to wait. Meanwhile, the poor son is killing himself takingcare of the poop, the pee, and feeding the dog soup with one ofthose plastic tubes with a squeeze bulb at the end (for suctioningthe fat off broth, stock, meat juices, etc). OOKI appears to wantcompanionship, but not to be in pain, but is largely paralyzed.I told them that they would have to decide between them, but that I wanted the stuff (medicine) out of my place, so I have just delivered it to them. Edna's son is busy digging a gravein the yard. I rather think that in about three days OOKI shallhave passed on to wherever doggies/wolves do after death."Bulletins will be issued."Love to you all, fromn, "a dog nut," not a "doughnut!"

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 It is not hard to part with her after 18 years! It is hard to not havethe means to have her humanely euthanized, although Edna'sson seems to be holding up well, and taking excellent care of her.The other "pups" are now acting worried. Edna keeps urging herson to euthanise the dog; they do have enough morphine to do it.I would do it, but it is really their call now.Dogs learn so much and develop so much--and we live so muchlonger and just seem to fully grasp so little by contrast.More tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 It is not hard to part with her after 18 years! It is hard to not havethe means to have her humanely euthanized, although Edna'sson seems to be holding up well, and taking excellent care of her.The other "pups" are now acting worried. Edna keeps urging herson to euthanise the dog; they do have enough morphine to do it.I would do it, but it is really their call now.Dogs learn so much and develop so much--and we live so muchlonger and just seem to fully grasp so little by contrast.More tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 n This is not easy - I realize that - I have walked in your shoes several times I am still mourning for Gracie that got out early last month - I know we will never find her. I also know it was her way to make transition. I also know that she is safe on the other side and Dena Rae is taking care of her A number of us had a stern talk to Dena during meditation - she got Gracie for - so she darn well better be taking care of her This is a gift that all three of you can give to your sweet baby - she won't hurt or be handicapped anymore and you have an angel watching out for you she goes to sleep and wakes up at Rainbow Bridge To: MSersLife Sent: Tue, January 12, 2010 12:49:31 AMSubject: Re: Update on the Rojas family dogs--not MS-related/ DO NOT COPY TO OTHER GROUP OR PERSON, Please!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi nGood luck to all of you. I know it's very hard and sad to lose a loved pet. Been there a few times. But it's definitely easier than to see them suffer all the time. You'll be in my thoughts. I must admit, they sound very strong people to do it on their own. I took my dog to the vet, stayed with him and he just fell asleep in my arms. He was so peaceful.. I gave him a sedative (for doggies) before we took him to the vet.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi nGood luck to all of you. I know it's very hard and sad to lose a loved pet. Been there a few times. But it's definitely easier than to see them suffer all the time. You'll be in my thoughts. I must admit, they sound very strong people to do it on their own. I took my dog to the vet, stayed with him and he just fell asleep in my arms. He was so peaceful.. I gave him a sedative (for doggies) before we took him to the vet. He was in a lot of pain, but with the sedative, he was more relaxing.Love to all of youTo: MSersLife <MSersLife >Sent: Tue, January 12, 2010 1:22:36 AMSubject: Update on the Rojas family dogs--not MS-related/ DO NOT COPY TO OTHER GROUP OR PERSON, Please!
