Asking for love and light for my darling Penny
Penny is 15 years, six months and two days old. Born the 4th of July. She is half Cavalier King Charles spaniel and half American Eskimo. She has the sweetest, gentlest disposition, although with a fun-loving, independent spirit. My heart is breaking for her.
It looks like she will be crossing the rainbow bridge today if the vet can get here through the snow.
She's been fading the past few months. Lost the ability to walk or stand - probably some neurological issue according to the vet. i've been changing her diapers and towels about 10 times a day, but she didn't seem to be suffering until last night, She refused food yesterday, and later, water. I've been giving her 0.5 cc of water with a syringe every hour or so.
Overnight she began panting heavily and having muscle convulsions and barking in pain. The three of us were up with her most of the night trying to calm and reassure her. Gave her her dose of gabapentin this morning.
I've been playing the amazingly calming "Song for Daisy" by Gnash on loop, it is almost magical instrumental music for dogs.
Please send her vibes to pass gently and without pain. Thank you.
My husband, daughter and I are absolute wrecks. And I'm so worried that the vet from Lap of Love might not get here. I don't want my sweet baby girl to suffer any longer.
I called a home euthanasia service, but the vet can't get here until noon or later, and the snow has been falling more heavily than we expected.

I do hope the vet gets there SOON!.
Sending massive comfort vibes to your sweet girl! I know it's THE WORST seeing your loves suffering but you are doing all you can.
😭💔
Cross gently, dear sweet Penny. Thank you for giving your love to a human so joyfully.
get to your home.
Peaceful passage, Penny. 
Cross the rainbow bridge softly sweet girl
Have you told her it's ok to go to the Bridge?
It is so hard to lose a treasured pet. They are our family.
Your heart must be breaking.
From the doorway of rainbow,
The path out of which is the rainbow,
The rainbow passed out with me,
The rainbow rose up with me.
Through the middle of broad fields,
The rainbow returned with me
With the rainbow hanging high over your head, come to us soaring.
With beauty before me
With beauty behind me
With beauty above me
With beauty below me
With beauty all around me
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
I'm so sorry that you and your family are facing this ordeal. My wife and I went through it last May, when we had to end the suffering of our 16-year old Cairn, Ozzie.
D and I send our deepest hopes and wishes for an easy passing. She said that the burden got a little less when we received his ashes from the vet, to whom we paid extra to have the ashes kept from a single-dog cremation.
Some joy for the years you had with her and ease from the suffering of all four of you.
Peace and light to the good old girl.
Cross gently Penny.
For you and Penny
I'm very sorry for your loss. They are family members and it's really really hard to lose them!
The majority of us here feel your pain as we have been through this as well.
Please know that I'm sending you best wishes so that your beloved Penny doesn't suffer.
Thank you so much for sharing this hard part of the journey with us. You know the old saying “many hands make light work”? Well, many hands can also help lift you up during times like this. It means you don’t have to go through it alone.
It's so painful when these creatures we love so much are suffering. We found our Lily, a Chihuahua mix who made it to the age of 17 years of age, suddenly showed she was at her end one night after all the veterinarians in our small town were closed for the night. A heartbreaking night.
I am so sorry for you in this terrible time. I hope your Penny is now free of pain. Sending a
I'm sending love and colorful light of peace for Penny.
