Almost done!***********************************
This past week was not the best for my mom and to make it worse we witnessed something very sad that made my mom cry and me felt very stressed.
Last thursday, my mom made and appointment with my Vet to have my nails done. As you know he is getting married today and will be in his honeymoon for 3 weeks.
So, we went there at 6 pm. His assistant asked us to wait a little bit because he was with a patient. So we waited. Half an hour later a man with a little poodle came out and he sat beside us. My mom asked him about his doggie. He told her that she is 17 years old and was not feeling well. While this happened my mom notice I was looking at the doggie. I did not try to be close to her. Then I started drooling (I only do that when I feel stressed). It was like I knew something bad was happening. Then a lady came to the clinic. It was the man's wife. She took the doggie in her arms and asked him about what the Vet said. He told her in a very low voice and then she started crying. And of course my mom too. Me? still looking at the doggie and more drooling. The Vet came out of his office and called them. They were there for another half hour. Fortunatelly, my mom had tissues in her bag to clean her tears and my slobbers.
Finally, they came out and it was my turn. My mom wished them the best.
My Vet told my mom that he had run several tests for the doggie and that her organs were failing due to her age. He told them that she was not going to get any better but he could give her meds to avoid some pain. They told him that maybe the best was to let her go but they wanted a last night with her. My mom started crying again. He understood what my mom was thinking and told her nice words. Me?? More drooling. He noticed I was stressed. He said we dogs know.
When he finished with my nails, we wished him the best too and a happy honeymoon.
We came home at 8 pm. I had my dinner and we went to sleep. I could not sleep. More drooling... and more drooling. My mom was worried. And for the first time in 2 years, she did not turn on the laptop to check your blogs. She just came to bed to hug me. I am not very good cuddling but this time I let her do it. We finally fell asleep at 11 pm.
When we woke up next morning, my mom asked me how I was feeling and I was back to normal.
My mom? She says she is not ready to accept that there is always an end.
My mom? She says she is not ready to accept that there is always an end.

Today I helped my mom with the cleaning thing and then we went out for a nice walkie. Then we had lunch and we decided to have a lazy afternoon watching golf and the Yankees game. Santos play tonight. I wore my lucky dress this morning so I hope they win!

Have a good night

It is very hard to say good bye, Lorenza. And when we see it happening to someone else, it really makes the reality of life and death hit hard. We are so sad for that little poodle and family.
Here's to a much better week next week for you and your Mom.
Hugs,the OP Pack
The OP KS Pakhk pawed it furry furry well!
I'll thwap my mom with my paw to remind her I love her!
I'm sure woo have done your own furry special Sweet Lorenza things as well!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
OP Mom said it better than I could, I think. My Mom says when we get a pet with a life span that is much shorter than the humans, we have to accept that, even though its very hard and very sad.
Kisses,
Stella, who can't say anymore.
What a wonderful human your mom is to skip the blogs and cuddle with you when you were so stressed. Well, when both of you were so stressed. We hope you are both okay now.
both of you are such gentle loving souls and we loooove you for that...
mum started this blog as she knows one day we will be apart and i'm glad she did this BUT i have to work soooo sooo hard....(do excuse me for complaining as it's sunday here and i'm dreading monday..)
glad you like your award as you're one of my first friends here, TQ
chikisses
Oh Lorenza, that was so very sad. I'm sorry you and your Mom had to go through that. Makes you wonder how Dr's, nurses etc deal with it every day.
Oh Lorenza....
No matter how far away we are from each other....nor what our cultures are.....people who love dogs have a connection with each other that miles and different customs can't break. Letting go is one of the hardest things in the world but we all have to face it sometime. Sometimes tears help to wash away the pain that saying good bye brings....
Ya are sure a great help ta yer Mom....everyone knows yer Gram loves ya too....and yer the best dressed doggie in all of Mexico...ya have a lot to be thankful for....and we are happy that ya are our friend too.....

Oh Lorenza, my mom cried a river while reading this post.
The story of this poor 17 years old poodle tenderly reminded my mom the last time she took my angel brother Ringo to the Vet and left there without him.
Our hearts go out for you, your mom and the poodle's family. RIP, sweet 17 poodle!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza,
You're a very sensitive girl to know that little poodle was near his last day. It was so kind of your mom to comfort that sad couple. I know you and your mom will appreciate each and every day you have together, and there will be many of those!
Teddy
Ah... very sad... and it's also so heart breaking to learn what happened to the little poodle.
Hope that you mom and you are feeling better now.
Licks,
Adele, Vincent & Bella
awww I am sure you were cuddled real close. You are a beautiful dog and am so thankful you became my friend.
Olive :)
Hi Lorenza, it's never easy to let go of a loved one... so we'll cherish each day as it comes. You are a good girl helping mommy with the house work.
Licks, hero.
Hi Lorenza, I hope you and your Mom are feeling better. You have both been having your share of troubles lately. It is so sad to say goodbye to someone you love. My Mommy has had to do it with other pets and she is said for that family, but 17 is a long life and it must have been time for her to run free across the rainbow bridge.
licks and sniffs, Sasha
Hi Lorenza,
Your story made my mom leak too.. she too does not understand why there has to be an end.. why must death take away what we love??
We feel so sad for the couple and the poodle.. ((sigh))
Lorenza...
My mom is tearing too...
I know it is heard to accept this situation.
Please hug your mom for me.
Hugs
Matilda
Sweetheart, there is just never a good time to say goodbye to someone you love. You could spend a thousand years with someone and you would ask for just one day more. Losing someone you love leaves a cold chill in your soul...
Oh Lorenza
We know how hard that time is and our mum would have been right there crying along with yours.
We are thinking of that little poodle and family.
Our mum has had to say goodbye too many times in her life to dogs she has loved so much.
Sometimes the hardest part has been that other people think she is silly!
Thank goodness she has found DWB cos we may not have the right words but we all know and feel in our hearts what your mom is feeling.
On a brighter note you are fine Lorenza and with pretty trimmed nails!
Lots more life to live and enjoy - we love that dogs live for the day with no thought of tomorrow.
We do so hope your mum has a better week.
love and kisses

Oh Lroneza, that is so sad. You did a good job helping your mom feel better.
Slobbers,
Mango
What a good girl you are to cuddle with your mom (and to help her with making the bed). I am sure that visit to the vet was very stressful for you both.
Your friend,
Niamh
Going to the vet is stressful enough-
But wow, that was really hard!
We feel so bad for the poodle's family.
Glad you and your mom got to cuddle. Stay sweet,
Mack
Querida Lorenza, tal como lo has contado también nos hemos emocionado nosotros... SÃ, es difÃcil aceptar que hay un final, o una transición... Y aunque los perros intuyen, los humanos sufren de manera multiplicada. DifÃcil de explicar. El Jefe siempre dice que hay que pensar en estos casos, aunque sea triste, la buena vida que ha tenido el compañero y lo cuidado que ha estado, suerte ha tenido... Es lo bueno.
Un abrazo.
Hi Lorenza,
We are very sad to hear about the poodle and her family. It is not fair that we get older so much faster than the hoomans. Why do they get to stay when we have to go??
You are a terrific mom's helper!
Wags & wiggles,
Bijou
That is such a sad story. It is the hardest thing in the world to have to say good-bye. Are humans have to remember that we are not here for a long time but a good time... Love us all you can while we are here...
Big Sloppy Kisses
Gus, Louie and Callie
Really very sad to said good bye, l don't know what mom's reaction will be when our time come, guess it's hard for us too.
You are such a sweet sensitive girl! Our hearts go out to the Poodle's family!
Play bows,
Zim
PS: If you need help making that bed, give me a call! I love doing that!
I read once that the secret to a happy ending is to know when to stop the story, because if you keep going long enough, you come to an end like that one.
My Mommy got tearies just reading about it.
Give your mommy extra loves today Lorenza!!
Smileys!
Dory
oh lorenza it really is a sad time when you have to say goodbye.
That post is the saddest thing ever! It actually made our Mom's eyes leaky. She remembered how difficult it was to let Scooter go the The Bridge. Our sympathies go out to that family. We hope she's doing much better today! ANd you look like a Double Stuffed Burrito in your pictures! :o)

Hi lorenza, I hope you and your mom are feeling better. The loss of a loved one is something we all share, but maybe you showing how you cared for the poodle some how made it feel a little easier, sometimes just being there is a nice thing to do.
Oh Lorenza,PL2 is very leaky reading this....As PL2 always says,take each day and make it the best..and be thankfull for what we have...And we are thankfull for our PL's and for all of our wonderfull blogging friends like you and your Mom Love and a million kisses A+A
Lorenza,
We were so sorry to read your very sad story. Life is some times sad. You do look very sweet helping your mom with the linens...as you might remember my peeps were onced owned by a dachshund...we send you both lots of kitty kisses and hope you feel better soon. Madi and Mom
hi Lorenza, that's such a sad story about that little poodle, but 17 years is a very long life! our mom says that we dogs don't know that someday we will die. she can't stand the thought of it because she says we are supposed to be together forever. it's the saddest thing ever and time goes by too fast.
we hope that little poodle is in heaven now. that's the only good thing that we can think and we don't really know if we believe it. those poor people must be very sad... now we are sad too...
that was nice of you to cuddle with your mom a little bit.
woofs.
The poodle here is dog #3....When he forst arrived, sometimes he got called by the previous dog's names, even though they were shar pei and were totally different. On an even graver note, the poodle down the street was inherited from a grandma who had to leave the Earth....fortunately the next generation of humans stayed around to keep him company. The only solution is to have African grey parrots or elephants as pets....
It's so hard to say goodbye, be it a our pet or a stranger's pet. We're keeping the little poodle in our prayers... hoping that it enjoys rainbow bridge.
We hope your mommy gets back to normal and that your dress bring you good luck!
Oh best wishes to the poodle! Good job helping make the bed! Hope you have a good week! :)
My mom cried too. She says she knows how hard it is to make that decision to let us go. It takes a lot of love.
You make the bed the same way I do--although most of the time my mom is saying, Move, River, move!
love & wags,
River
That's so sad. Hope you are feeling better now, Lorenza.
You're very perceptive, Lorenza - you knew what was going on. And your mom was very perceptive, too, to see what was going on with you and give you extra love!

Aww.. It's never the right time to say goodbye, is it? We're sorry for the family with the little poodle and for you feeling stressed out for them.
Kisses,

Love Ruby & Penny
Lorenza....I love your dresses...you are such a stylish red head and all the colors look great on you. I especially like the dress with the red tie!!! I think I'd look nice in that dress red looks good with gray!!
Madi

Hello Lorenza,
Our family send us to you to learn fixing the bed. They said we are too LAZY. LOL!!!
We are so sorry to hear about the poodle. It made the momma cry too. I hope they haave lots of good memories to help them through.
It was very nice of you to help with the laundry and wear your lucky dress!!!
That is a very sad thing to think about. I feel bad for the poodle family too. Thank you for writing about it.
Deefor
That was such a sad story. Thank you for sharing with us. My Mommy is like your Mommy, she hates that there is always an end.:(
Love,
Teddy Bear
That was very sad for sure, I am sorry you had to see that. I hope that the doggy has a nice remaining time with his family.
That was so sad, Lorenza. And so amazing that you sensed that poor little Poodle was sick. You and your mom are both sweet, sensitive souls. I'm glad you cuddled and helped each other through the sadness. Hugs and kisses to both of you.

We are sorry you and your Mom had to see such a sad event for that family. Our Mom would have cried real hard too. It's never easy letting go of a loved one, whether they have fur or skin, Mom says.
You did a great job helping your Mom with the bed though!
Chihuahua kisses,
Bentley & Lexus
Hi, Lorenza -
You are a perceptive dog. We feel so bad for that family and their dog. Mama is tearing up as she is writing this. Life can be so unfair sometimes.
We hope you and your Mom have a better week ahead.
Love -
Hershey, Kaci and Mama
This is such a sad post. How sensitive of you to sense that the poodle was nearing the end. We are very sad now.
