You know those stories about how people sometimes rally right before they die & experience lucidity & energy they've lacked for awhile? I wonder if pets do that sometimes too.
Whether it's that or Sammie is just feeling a little better tonight, it was wonderful to see her eat and drink some. My DD was able to get her to eat several treats this evening. DD was very pleased and excited at her progress in this regard and so was I. I'll try to give her canned food in the morning and she if she'll take that.
Sammie, having been abused as a puppy before I got her, has never been a complainer. If she ever whines at all, I feel horrible since I know she must be in terrible discomfort. She barely reacts if I accidentally clip her nails too far or step on her. So, I worry a little bit that I won't know if she is in pain - if it is time to be the humane doggie mom I've always promised myself and her I will be. I include this concern in my daily prayers now. God knows all & I have to trust that God will allow Sammie to let me know when I have to let her go.
