The Update

So, it has been a long last couple of weeks. I know I said I would update on what was going on with Belle, but it is really hard to write about it, so this is my first attempt.

Belle was having small seizures, though we did not know what they were at the time. We made an appointment to get her looked at with her Vet on a Tuesday, but that Monday she took a turn for the worse. Eric woke up and after some time Belle was having problems walking and functioning in general. After a while she went into a massive seizure, though I will spare you the details as to what exactly happened. When she was done, Eric rushed her to the Vet and they took her from him. When Eric picked me up from school he told me all about it. We went to visit her that night and she was not looking good. We were told a few different things that could be happening, but we were not sure, neither were they.

The next evening we went to visit her again and she seemed to be doing much better. She had stopped twitching and she seemed somewhat responsive to her name. The doctor seemed optimistic as well and we had plans to take her home the next morning. When we left Belle was seemingly asleep and she was going to get fed. On our way home we got a call from the doctor saying we should probably come back because she had taken a turn for the worse. She went into what the doctor presumed was a coma and never woke up. They tried CPR when she had stopped breathing but it was no use. Our baby was gone.

We buried Belle the next day at Eric's parents house amongst other loved animals and though it has been tough, we are getting through it.

And there has been some new news...we might get a chance to get Belle's sister or brother from her mama's next litter. This is soon for us, but we could not pass on this chance, to have something so close to Belle.

I am so sorry it took so long to update on this sad event, but it is really tough to recount exactly what happened over those two days. I hope to put up some pictures of Belle because she was too cute not to have pictures up, and hopefully I will have some more optimistic and joyful blogs up soon.

Life

Alright, so I am neglecting this blog horribly. Seriously, one blog so far in how many months??? So I have decided to pick it up and try to keep up with it.
I have had this revelation because of a development in my life. No, I am not engaged...tell me about it. But we have had some issues concerning Belle, our newest installment to our little family. Eric decided we should find Dobby a friend and also add a little star to our life together so he bought be a teacup chihuahua for my birthday. This has been one of the greatest gifts I could ever ask for because she is just the light of my life, along with her big brother Dob man.
But back to Belle, she has started having some weird occurances happen with her. She is having episodes where she...well I don't even know how to describe it. Eric and I have looked up what she might be going through and we are thinking...you ready for this one...hypoglycemic seizures, or more specifically, that she might have transient juvenille hypoglycemia. We are both really hoping we can get this figured out because it is really scary to think of our little girl having seizures. We are seeing a vet on Monday, she has to get a shot anyway, and hopefully they will be able to give us some sort of answer to our questions.
So, with this stressful information in our hands we are praying she is alright but crossing our fingers. I am sorry the first blog back is so...depressing but I promise to keep up with it more in the future. For many of my friends, I don't get to talk to them often, so hopefully I can tell you all about our lives this way!!!

Talk to you soon!!!!

Oh, and I promise lots of pictures for future posts!
