In Memory of Taku July 7, 1991 - April 10, 2008

On Sunday night while we were asleep, Taku must have suffered a minor stroke along with one of her many seizures - when we awoke she could not move her one hind leg. If we helped her up she was fine she walked around and went outside but she couldn't get up herself. I brought her to her doctor. He said that it was her spine however, there was a slight chance that it would come back like the last time (it took 7 hours the last time) but could take up until Friday. If not by then we would have to think of putting her down. She was given a shot and some more seizure pills and we took our old girl home. Tuesday there was no change. On Wednesday with the family in and out to help her I went to work. When I arrived home around 8pm on Wednesday night she was awful. She flopped her head on the floor I had to hold her head and hold water in a small bowl to her mouth. I fed her dinner with a spoon. Her front legs were sliding out and she would fall over a bit. She just didn't understand what was happening, why her legs weren't doing what she wanted. She looked frightened and frustrated. I helped her up and she had a very bad seizure immediately and cried during it. It was bad. Afterward she was so weak and couldn't even move. I cleaned her up (when you seizure-you pee human and furry ones alike). I kept the heating pad on her back and made her as comfortable as possible. That night I prayed that she would get up and be well like her doctor said she might (prior to this last episode) or God would take her in her sleep. Neither happened. Bill and I called her doctor 7am that morning. He said it is time. Bring her down. My mom layed with her for a bit of time and cried and Tere' was beside herself. She had a big test yet wanted to be with Taku. We decided she should say goodbye at home and go to school. Taku is Tere's second birthday gift. Taku was sixteen and nine months. So for Tere', Taku has always been here. Bill and I brought her down and we did what we needed to do. I am very sad. I miss her. I know I did the "right thing" and I am happy that my little girl isn't suffering anymore. Yet I still have that hollow feeling inside. I thank God and Nancy for her. My dear friend Nancy gave her to us. I thank God for the long time we were blessed with her. I miss her...

I am so sorry for your loss losing furry friends is never easy they just seem to never be able to stay as long as we would wish them to

I am so sorry she had to go. I know we all have to go at some time but having put my dog of 21 years to sleep and my cat who was my best friend last summer I know how hard it is. Judi

It will be 2 years in November and I miss her like it was yesterday...
