On October 28th, our beautiful, precious angel got her wings. Becki Lyn one of our biscuit gang and one of the main reasons I started Freckled Paws Biscuits and More suffered a major episode related to her condition called Laryngeal Paralysis. A terrible, frightening episode to watch her go through.
Medicine was administered but as the day went on she worsened. Surgery was scheduled in Missoula for the next morning but she was crashing fast and I feared would not make it through the night.
She looked at me with absolute fear in her eyes as we gave her oxygen. Becki gave me a kiss and I told her her daddy had just pulled up into the parking lot, she gazed out the window to see him and looked back at me.
I looked into her eyes, I could see they were saying please, mom, let me go, I love you and don’t want to leave you but I’m scared and it is just to hard to breath. She used her whole body to take every breath.
Not wanting to let her go, but not wanting my sweet granny faced angel to suffer, I made one of the hardest decisions a responsible furkid parent has to make. I let Becki go. She went peacefully, first sedated, which she started snoring through then when I was ready the second injection that would end my life with her on this planet earth was given.
No person can ever take away her spirit that lives on in my heart, which at the moment is so broken I don’t know when it will begin to heal.
Thirteen years together is a long time. We have been to hell and back, but always together.
Rest in peace our sweet smiley girl. You’ve done well. You were the best friend anyone could ask for. God Bless you.
Your mom and dad and fur brothers and sisters miss you terribly. We know that you are safe in the arms of our Lord.
In the near future when I am up to it I will being writing a love letter to Becki and will post some special, favorite pictures of her. I will also be doing some posts on her condition that took her from us way too soon!
Treasure every moment you have together with you furkid as we never know when any of our time will come.
