Have I told you that my God is a good God?
We went to pick up Isaac from the vet this morning. We had made the decision that we were going to bring him home for the weekend and then let him go be with the Lord on Monday. A weekend we were going to fill with love, hugs, kisses and snuggles.
But God had a different plan. Dr Stephens ran some labs before we got there, and the results were nothing but a miracle. His creatinine was back to normal and his BUN was reduced by half! Dr Stephens said if we maintain some fluids daily that Isaac should have 3-6 months of a great life before we have to make that rough decision again.
So we came home, Izzy was so excited! She had missed brother so much!! They were both so happy!
My heart is full today and so is my couch, with puppies!!!

Isaac
What do you do when your heart is broken? I have tried to figure that out so many times but I can’t seem to find the answer.
Isaac, my schnauzer, has been not eating lately. Sleeping more and more, stumbling when he walks, just not feeling well.
Today his lab results came back, he is in kidney failure. His kidneys are 75-95% shut down. All his lab values are elevated. I left him at the hospital today with Dr Stephens. Doc says we can rehydrate him, flush his kidneys and get him to feeling better. But there is no long term cure for renal failure in dogs. There is no dialysis, no cure.
My heart hurts, I have cried so much my eyes hurt.
Isaac didn’t understand when I left him with Dr Stephens. He wanted to come home with me, he didn’t want to be alone. He was scared, I am scared. Izzy is scared to death, she can’t find brother in the house and she has never been without him.
Where do I go from here, every time I get close to God, something is taken away from me. Why does God hate me?
