Here's Oakley sneaking a peek at the neighbor dog who loved to torment him through the fence.
Aw, what a sweet boy!
Just spending some time on the deck.
This picture was actually taken 2 days before his death. One look at him and you would never think that he was sick...although in this picture he was having difficulty breathing and not eating. This was pretty much right before I brought him to the UofM and he ended up being admitted to ICU. I never imagined that his life would be over in the next 48 hrs, and that pneumonia was ultimately going to be what ended his life.
Oakley - you are beautiful and so handsome and you were taken from me much too soon! I miss you so much! I don't think I will ever stop wishing that I could turn back the clock and react sooner to what was happening. I know I can't feel guilty, but it is so hard not to feel that. I keep trying to remind myself that they found the cancer in your lymphnodes and most likely in your lungs, too, and that maybe it was better that you went this way. Please know that what we did was out of love for you and so that you wouldn't suffer any more. I tried everything that I could for you.
Okay, I've had a minor set back...looking at these pictures perhaps wasn't a good idea, afterall.
