That is so hard. We are the hardest on ourselves & I ask you to what end? I suffer from this tendency. You are open to try new things & i think that is wonderful. You look into things and are not easily persuaded. Your poor friend will forever feel this pain too - maybe you can help each other.
I ask you to move forward and continue to do your best. I know my best is better every day, through practice - thank goodness cause I couldn't stand to think my dumb stuff is where I am stuck. LOL Yes I am under self help education :-) & growth focused - what else can I do with this life? My sympathies to everyone who went through that loss. I do think discussions about food and nutrition are very educational and interesting. I had no idea about the dry diet. ________________________________ From: Nancy Lucky <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, November 7, 2010 6:06:53 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Honest Kitchen I bought something very similar to this at pet express - all natural - no additives or hormones - but abbey did not like it at all. I am going to try it again and see if Maggie likes it. it was 8.00 for a bag of about 8 ounces - i was glad that they had small bags to try and this lady there who feeds her babies raw says this is the next best thing. I do cook my girls organic free range chicken and they have that for breakfast and love it. I am still on the fence but falling softly over....this is my fear the night before my Sami passed away my girlfriend brought him over a ham hock bone that she used to make beans with. My other girlfriend told me that I should not give it to him - but then Denise came over and said has Sami tried the bone yet so I let him have it and of course he loved it all the bone marrow. I have a picture of him eating it as he was so happy. That was the night he got sick and then he died at 1 pm and I have carried this guilt in my heart for so long as I felt I killed my baby. I am crying right now as I am writing this as no matter what anyone tells me, I keep going back to that bone and blaming my self. My sweet girlfriend felt so guilty too - she even slept here at my house for several days as I was suicidal it was one of the lowest parts of my life ever and I felt that I killed my baby who I adored and would of ran in the street to save him. My vet thinks that it has nothing to do with it but I do. Of course to do a necropsy it is 2,000 and I could not afford it. This is the first time I have shared the whole story as it is still so painful to me to think that I killed my baby boy that loved me so much and trusted me. I got him when I first got ill and lost my job of 25 years and a baby boutique that I owned with my daughter-in-law and my health and all my friends at work who were like family to me - so he was my whole world. So that is my fear. I felt like the worst mommy ever. I took Sami to the vet every time he sneezed. I had even taken him to ER one night because he threw up and it cost me 1,000. He had been to the vet three days before this because he had a little limp and I was worried. I am going to stop emailing you all about this as I want to put it to rest, but I felt that I needed to share my truth with you all as you have all been so honest with me. I feel God placed you wonderful women in my life at a time I so desperately needed you all. When you think about what one little chihuahua can do to change you life and the people you meet it gives me chills. I have wanted to tell you all the whole story but it takes me time to trust and plus I still carry so much quilt in my heart. Maybe you can pray for me that God will lift this burden from me. I pray every night but it is still with me. I know that someday I will see the little 3lb boy who changed my life again. Thank you for letting me share.
