It is with a very sad, heavy and broken heart that I tell you we had Riley put to sleep this morning. Riley just wasn't bouncing back. She still hadn't eaten for over a week and couldn't even keep fluids down. We brought her home last night to see if that would help get her to eat and relax. But no such luck. She was still in a lot of pain, and by 7 this morning, I knew what we had to do.
I know now she won't be in any more pain and she is in a better place. But it still doesn't fill the empty place left in my heart for her.
Thank you to everyone for all the prayers and good thoughts, they kept her here with us a little longer and gave us our chance to say goodbye. She was such a good dog and she was so loved, and she will live on forever in our hearts.

Awe, Nancy! I am so sorry! I can't say that I relate on the loosing end, but I can definitely understand the love for a pet. Makes me feel so guilty for mine being on the back burner since the baby... I will be thinking of you, hope it gets better soon.
