Oh Amaila, I'm just sitting here shaking my head in disbelief. Your heart is shattered and no words can help right now.

I will say this, when my dog who had "liver issues" started showing yellow tint in hks ears, then eyes, then gums, he went down very quickly. So, regardless of everything else that was most likely going on internally with yojr Martha, to me, the yellow tinged skin, meant tha the liver was failkng. So I don't think there was anything that cojld have been done att his point.

My heart just breaks for you...this just saddens me to no end for you. You gave every ounce of yourself to her well-being and MARTHAT KNEW THAT!! She KNEW everythn you j did for her was out of love!! She knew that! Nobody could have done more! Your devotin and commitment to helping Martha were incredible. You bave her the best possible chance...and she deserved to jave that chance.

Everyone here was pullng soooooo hard for you and Martha!! You are a team...a team with an unbreakable connection! Nothing can separate you two.

If you ask Martha, this whole joirney ws worthnit because she still got more time with you... and that's all that ever mattered to her. She also knows, as only dogs can, that she is still nestled in your heart. It is those wonderful memories you and she created together that will help glue you broken heart back together again. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, bjt soon, becuse zmarthat wojld not want you to be sad. ZMarthat wants to see you happy evdrytime you think of her as soon as you can.

Dear Sweet Amalia...

I today you even feel more despair and debilitating sadness than yesterday...if that's evenpossible. To not jave Martha there yyour side, to no longer be focusingon the "daily rituals"...the rituals of lovng and spoilig as well as caregicing...the void seems endless.

That void will soon fill in with her lovng memories, the good tmes, the smiles, the tail wags.

While this journey, beginnng with her spleen removal, has been very disheartening, it has als been filled with the giftof time you gave her to have more tummy rubs, more ear scratches, more sacred tme together by your side, more loving and spoiling than most dogs have in a lifetime!

And Martha would not have wanted it anyother way. She wanted to stay withnyou as long as possible, yet, she also knew you wold help her cross over to the other side of life when staying here was just too hard. She IS healthy and whole now. She IS still bynyour side, just through another dimension and energy. She will eventualy be able to reach through yor layers of grief and you will KNOW she is withnyou andyou will KNOW she is feelng great!

Just wanted you to kow we are all jere for you. Nothing can dim that beautiful light Martha shared with us! Ilove her name...it has a sweetness, an old wise soul style about it. We love her...and you.

Surroningy you with Martha's eternal grace.

Sally and Happy Hannah
