Goodbye to Miles
2001-2008
  |
Our Flying W Farms
family wants to express our deep and heartfelt sympathy in this
family's time of grief.
It is truly very
very hard to
say goodbye to our
beloved dogs; I personally
was so touched by
the way Moss was trying to comfort Miles in these photos.
What a good boy you
are, Moss. So much like your daddy, my big George. George is nine
years old and still
doing very well, for
which I am so very grateful.
Love
to all,
Fredericka

It is so hard to say goodbye |
Hello friends and family,
Yesterday we had to let our girl, Miles, go.
This past weekend Miles took a bad turn while we were at the farm.
Her nose started bleeding Saturday @ 2:00 and did not stop until 9
or 10:00 that night. William had to deal with it mostly because I
got queasy and about passed out. Had to lay down a few times. It
was not a gusher, just off and on. To say the least, it was a VERY
emotional day and night for both of us. We got her back on her
meds (prednisone x 2 a day to help stop the bleeding) and the vet
prescribed her Valium Sunday to help keep her blood pressure down
in case she started to bleed again. She was breathing and panting
hard due to the cancer and prednisone and each day became
increasingly worse. We sadly knew the time had come and had made
plans to say good bye today. I took her to the vet yesterday to
say good bye to everyone at Riverview, because they have taken
such good care of her for her for her life with us and they love
her as much as we did, and take a platter of sweets from Miles for
everyone. Dr. Amy noticed her belly was swollen, which meant she
was bleeding internally. We all knew the time had come quicker
than we would have liked. Her nose started bleeding again
yesterday on the way back from the vet, so I called Dr. Amy and
pushed the plans for the transition for yesterday. I got home
with her and gave her 2 valium, I took 1/2 zanax and laid in the
bedroom floor with her and Moss and cried until I thought I
couldn't anymore. I had to do something, so I got out the
camera. I think I took 350 pictures in 2 hours. I know, kinda
morbid and I had to do something while I stared at her. Kept me
from crying the whole time. Our fabulous Dr. Amy and a vet tech
came to the house at 6:45 and Miles went peacefully and quickly at
home with William and I holding her and brother (our son) close
by. After the sedative she started snoring very loudly in true
Miles fashion. We all had to smile. She was a Wonderful pet and
friend and we owed it to her to not let her suffer and let her go
quickly and peacefully with no more pain. We will spread her
ashes at the farm in the pond, her favorite place!! Now I have 2
angels watching over me, Aunt Katherine and Miles. William and I
miss her already and Moss is a bit confused. He is hanging closer
to me than ever, if that's possible. Thanks for all your love and
caring during this time and reading my therapy session. William
and I are going to have a Miles celebration tonight and a quiet
football weekend at home.
Love and Hugs,
Elizabeth
