Signs of suffering

Iz. Iz Bo Biz. Izzard.

I don't know how much longer Miss Izzy will be with us...

She has started to show some symptoms of her lymphoma. She still has some spunk in her step and she continues to steal food out of our hands...but she is starting to show some signs of suffering.

While once banished from sleeping in our bed at night....she is now welcome again with open arms. We have realized she is having trouble jumping up on the bed a little.

She also drinks A LOT! We fill up her water bowl at least 3x a day. On the flipside of that, she goes to the bathroom A LOT...some of which is on our carpet and rugs.

She is having difficulty breathing and takes very short breathes.

I hope we know when it is time. She isn't bad yet....but is showing signs.

I just picked up more meds from the vet last week....they gave me 2 months worth. Does that mean that is what they are thinking for how much longer she has??? S says I'm reading into that too much.

For now, we'll continue spoiling her rotten for a little while longer.

Give her a hug and some extra doggie treats from us.

The Izzy posts are making me tear up... I can't even imagine losing one of my sweet precious fur babies. I am going to be cheezy and leave a sweet quote at the end of this comment... You guys are in our thoughts and prayers
