Agi Cooper 12/11/00 - 8/28/13

This afternoon Agi hopefully met up with Glenn.
She was diagnosed with aggressive liver and pancreatic cancer.
The last few days she hadn't been eating regularly, and yesterday she showed severe weakness, and disorientation.
The girls and I rushed her to the pet ER yesterday, and she spent the night. Vets and staff took such good care of her, and took a myriad of tests. Today after speaking at length with our personal vet, and the hospital doctors, they all agreed that relieving Agi from suffering (thank goodness it was short-lived) was the best option. These cancers were uncurable and the possible treatment would be not very effective.
Every step of the way, Morgan, Sara and I discussed all of the what ifs and options. We made plans together, and ultimately executed them as a team.
My "people" were in place, and knew that I might need to call upon them if I happened to be alone in Agi's last hours.
Our good friend Brinley came with the three of us to the hospital - she actually committed to me back in February when I worried that I might be in this position one day. It was nice to have her there - she has a kind way of being sensitive, honest and funny all at the same time. Girls like chatting with her and while driving over there today, conversations about everything and anything were flying around the car.
With Starbucks no-coffee Frappuccino double chocolately chip ice blendeds in hand, the girls held their heads high, and we went to say goodbye to Agi.
Agi - the sweetest puppy ever wagged her tail when she saw us. We gave her lots of love, and she showered us back.  We told her to say hi to Daddy (I actually whispered in her ear to tell him what an asshole he is because he isn't here), and we all hoped they would go on a walk tonight together.
We said goodnight.

working out somewhere tomorrow early - but haven't decided where yet. but i'll be doing something.
