My Lucky is gone

It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that I let you know that my dog Lucky passed away this morning. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma a year ago. We did a round of treatment (chemo and radiation) and she was in remission for 7 months. I found out earlier this week that she was out of remission and also had a severe auto immune issues that caused anemia and internal bleeding, likely caused by the Lymphoma. I saw a specialist on Thursday to try and make her as comfortable as possible in her remaining time left by trying to bring up her platelet and red blood cell counts. The treatment did not work. She deteriorated extremely fast. She collapsed on our walk Friday night and by this morning she was so tired and sick that she could barely move. She was a terrific dog…just the best. She made me a better person just by being in my life. While I am sad to see her go and her passing leaves a big whole in my life, I am glad that her suffering has ended
