| Just got off the phone with Mom - We knew this was coming, Daisy has been losing her sight and getting confused for a while now, but when Mom took her to the vet today, the vet gave her the news that Daisy is completely blind and that the pressure from the glaucoma was hurting her. She'd lost two pounds (which, I know, doesn't sound like much, but when you're only 6 or 7 pounds to begin with...) I wish
I could have been there - it's such a hard thing to have to do alone,
but Mom has always been there to do the hard thing when her children
needed it. Daisy Mae came into our lives as a rescue - another family member had adopted her, but it didn't work out, and so we ended up with one of the most loving little girls ever - and one of the most opinionated. | | At one point, while Mom was packing up at my place to head back to Utah, Daisy decided that she really wasn't up for a car trip, and she would rather be a city girl for a bit, and hid out in the back yard until she had made her decision known to everyone - she was staying with her sister and Moose for a bit. She did bring unpredictability into our lives as well - she took any open door as an invitation to explore, but she did always come back home (eventually) - more quickly if you opened the car door and invited her for a little ride. She really loved her little rides. Rest in peace, my little girl - I'll write more later, when I can see through these tears.
