Kiera Jean - 11/25/1997 - 4/8/2011
The last several months had been a bit of a challenge here, Kiera was pretty darn blind due to cataracts and did not like going out side to do her business, so she would let it go on the kitchen floor.... Before that she had suffered from pancreatic issues, hypo-thyroid, an enlarged spleen and most recently she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was still running around like nothing was wrong until a few weeks ago and I began to notice the enlarged spleen was even more so and she was losing control of her back legs from time to time, then early this week she could not get up with out assistance, something she hated. My darling girl was a spicy, bossy OES and I loved every moment of her in my life. It was hard to make this decision, I somehow thought she would make it to her 14th birthday, it was not to be. I am in a logical moment and I can tell you that I let her go more for her than for me, I have been back and forth between knowing I did the right thing and feeling like I betrayed her trust in me.... Kiera Jean was a tough nut, she had been passed to several "owners" over the years prior to her coming to live with us. She was not happy about being passed to yet another home. She was sure I was behind the latest move and so resented me. When I would come home from work, Tyler would greet me at the door, excited to see me, while she would sit back, and turn her back towards me... it took about 8 months for her to warm up to me, but once she did, I knew I had her and she was my best friend till the last moment... I will always love her, she was, after all the dog that helped me to get over losing Tyler... and she did a good job too. I'm not sure that I want another OES or any other breed at the point in time, I just want to take some time and remember her and Tyler and take care of Taggart and Daisy... and my 88 year old mom. My wish for my sweet Kiera Jean is that she is happy and running at the bridge, and being the boss of everyone she see's.... then I know she will be happy... |

| If Kiera was upset with her situation, and I suspect she was, it was time to let her go. The inability to get up and resenting help did not help her mood. In short time she would have begun experiencing pain......and maybe had already. Dogs are good at hiding pain. You were the home she always wanted and she loved and respected you for it. Condolences to you |

| Hugs, Leslie I'm so sorry, your poor old girl is now painfree and no longer suffering. |
| Hi, It's the hardest thing to do, it's also a final act of love and it's obvious you loved her so much. I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful girl and thank you for such a beautiful tribute. She was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have her. Your paths crossing was meant to be and how lucky she was to have such a wonderful home. It was probably what she dreamt about all those years. She is probably bossing your Tucker around at the bridge and they both are sharing stories of how life was so good with you. Hugs Marianne |
| Leslie, we've never met and may never meet. But I'm sure that we know each other to some degree after what we've both been through recently. Be strong for Taggart and Daisy and of course Mom. They're gonna need you as much as you're gonna need them. Vance |
