It's all there in the thread title. It seems pretty straight forward. My daughter's puppy died.
If people are looking for FJR related info, they will know to skip this thread.
This is my daughter:
• •
To be precise, Sarah is my step-daughter. But I've been a part of her life for a long time.
In spite of my best efforts, she was quite the little princess. One piece of advice I gave her was something like "Why would you want to be a cheerleader? Pick a sport you can be part of, not a sport you can cheer for." She half ignored that advice. She was captain of the swim team and captain of cheer leading.
I remember when she was in middle school and "all" of her friends were getting phones. I told her I would get a second phone line (remember land lines?) for her room if she made the National Honor Society. I figured that would get me off the hook. NOPE. She was a member of the NHS as soon as she was eligible. She went on to be the vice-president of Key Club. She received a few scholarships to help pay for college tuition. Did I mention she was a princess? Miss Fridley. Good grief! I never let the girls watch beauty pageants as kids.
Now my little achiever has her Master's Degree.
Drive. She has no lack of drive. Her mother and I were starting to get worried about her. "All work and no play..."
I should mention my son-in-law. Luke and Sarah have been together since middle school (in spite of my best efforts to scare him off).
They are crazy about each other.
Luke's dad died of cancer, but lived long enough to see Sarah and Luke married. That was tough to watch. Luke idolized his dad.
After a year of marriage my daughter and son-in-law decide to get a puppy.
It changed their lives.
My little workaholic was in danger of burn-out, but she needed to set work aside, go home, and take care of her puppy.
My son-in-law was warming up. He was quicker to smile and we were seeing more of him.
Here's the little pooch, Bella Fae:
Yesterday afternoon, Sarah, Luke and Bella were at our house when Bella had difficulty breathing and was bleeding from her mouth.
This afternoon Bella died.
We don't know what happened. The x-rays indicated quite a bit of fluid in her lungs. Poisoning is suspected, but not confirmed by the blood tests.
All I know is that my daughter and son-in-law are hurting and I'm helpless to do anything about it.
