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.
