Update #3 Final Update
We let my girl go this morning. Her breathing wasn’t getting better (even after maxing out her medicine) and the fluid was building up in her lungs, stomach and legs. It was just time.
Thank you for the love and support. ❤️
Update #2
Annie was better enough with her breathing to bring her home. We aren't out of the woods yet, but ok enough she can be treated at home for now. She is in heart failure and now on 4 meds a day. 😢 We bought some time with her -- could be a day or could be 10 months. There's just no telling. She perked up when DH said her name, so I am hopeful that we have some good days left.
So, my girl is home with me. We will play it day by day, and most certainly wont let her suffer. But I got some more time to love on her and say goodbye.
Thanks for the support. I've lost other dogs before, but I didnt realize how hard it would be for me to say goodbye to my girl. DH bought her for me on our second wedding anniversary so she's been ours 15 years. My oldest son was in 3rd and the youngest in 1st when we got her. I don't remember not having her. ❤️
Update:
She is hanging on, but she’s in congested heart failure and there’s not much hope. I honestly don’t know how we got here - but she is in doggy ICU still and the plan is to evaluate her at 5:30. If she can beat this crisis, they can try to treat her with medicine. 30/70% chance of her making in through this crisis.
Thanks for the love and support.

..and we are at the doggy ER with her. She woke up this morning breathing really hard so I took her to the vet. The x rays showed hazy spots in her lungs so we started her on antibiotics.
Since then she has just declined. Won’t eat or drink. Doing this weird cough thing and her breathing is shallow and quick. She won’t leave her bed and won’t even let us hold her.
Annie is 15 years old and that’s old for a mini doxxie.
I just don’t know that she is going to be ok.
She is my girl and I just need her to be ok. So please think all the good thoughts and prayers please.
Here’s a photo from when she felt good.
