Sad News

I know I haven't blogged in awhile, and I apologize for that. This entry will be short, but it's very important to me. I will write about other things another day, but right now, I felt I needed to let everyone know about this. Kapri is not doing well. She is definitely slowing down and acting more her like her older self. She still seems happy to go for walks and get treats, and still likes to play a little, but she is more into sleeping in her bed or cuddling with me in my arms! Or course, I love cuddling with her, but it makes me sad as I know she is getting more sick as the days go on. For those of you who don't know, Kapri was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor in the beginning of December. Since she was diagnosed, she has lost a lot of weight (although, I've been able to bring that back up a little and she is now not gaining, but not losing either.) and just started to slow down more and more like I just talked about. Anyway, I took her to the vet today and the vet said that she believes that she has a tumor in her brain or somewhere else in her head. Basically, there is nothing that I can do for her but keep her comfortable until I know she is not anymore. That saddens me greatly!!! :( This is especially hard b/c I will be taking the girls with me up to Michigan to see my mom, step-dad, and brother for week, and I'm afraid that something will happen while I'm away. I'm sure in some ways, if it were, that would be better for me and the girls, but I would really like to be there to say good-bye, and (as silly as this might sound) I would like to be there for Diesel b/c I know that he will morn greatly for her as well!!!!! Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that this was the news that I got and this is how I'm feeling right now. I will write more about the girls and such another time.
