Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Boogie
| I haven't posted on here in over a year, but I do check in now and then. Some of you know this through private emails, but most of you are not aware that my precious IMHA dachshund, Boogie died one year ago today. I didn't post this to the forum when it happened because I did not want to discourage those who were still fighting this horrible disease. Boogie was my "heart" dog. She was sick for six months, and we became so bonded during her illness. This year without her has been the worst of my life. I will never forget her. She was such a fighter, but I knew when she had enough. I had her put to sleep and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I will always love and miss my little girl so much. I pray for all of you who are still dealing with IMHA and I also pray for healing for all of you who have lost your sweet babies. I'll continue to check on all of you. Sue |

| Im so sorry for the pain you had to endure over the past year. Just know you did the right thing for your sweet doggie! I had a springer who was 15 and had a stroke, i too had to put him down, and totally agree that it was the hardest thing i have ever done in my life!!! the vet gave me an ink paw print of his paw that i framed and is one of the most precious things i own. I am so thankful that i was there with "toby" my springer to the end, holding him tight! just remember that you did the right thing and think of him often with joy and smile. doodle hugs carol |

| Dear Sue I often wondered how you were doing since Boogies passing. I bet this year has seemed like eternity in regards to loosing Boogie. I know how hard it is and do you feel your pain, but feel comfort in knowing that you did everything you could do for her and sometimes they just can't be saved no matter what we do and letting go is the best possible option for our dogs. You did such a good job taking care of Boogie and Boogie knew how very much she was loved. Boogie is running free over the bridge now and is greeting some of the best dogs in the world that unfortunately were victims of this disease too. Please know that we did not forget Boogie and her courageous battle with AIHA and think we about you often. Cheryl & Ginger |

| Sue, I am sorry to read your post. When people quit posting I always hope for the best. It does get a little easier after the first year. The pain is always there but I have found by acknowledging the anniversary by celebrating the time I had with my girl Salome instead of grieving her loss helps. Penny |

| So sorry to read of the loss of your precious Boogie. I think that it definitely does get better after the 1 year aniversary of the loss passes. You come to accept that there really was nothing more you could do and you really have to move on. I bought my new dog Snoopy (who has the most incredible ball obsession possible) and Seth the american pitball I own as well a new kennel on the 12 month anniversary. I see them sleeping in it together and it really does bring comfort to me. I think it is what Scruffy would have wanted. Julie. |

| Thank you, all of you. It does get easier to handle as time goes on, but the pain and heartache never really go away. I will always miss and love my little girl so much. Boogie was so special. Sue |

| That just proves how good of a doggy mom you really were for Boogie. So many dogs would be honoured to have you as their mom. Johnny & Tessy |
