Days after Chelsea

We brought Chelsea for cremation yesterday. Sending her off for the last time. Seeing her the last time. Evon donated a beautiful durable box as Chelsea's coffin. I picked her up in the morning. Her body had hardened making us more upset. Blood flow out from her nose likely due to the pneumonia.

We had Moca bid her goodbye. Chelsea fed Moca with her milk as she was growing up. Such motherly love. When we finally handed her over for cremation, I opened up the coffin and bid Chelsea our last goodbye. Ju cried and I was fighting back my tears.

Follow your Lord, Chelsea. Don't get lost. Use your instinct. May you enjoy your life in paradise. We will.miss you. Love you, Chelsea.

RIP Chelsea

It was too fast.. Her condition worsened day by day. She was breathing very hard this afternoon. She collapsed 5 times and had difficulty breathing. She still managed to get up and had her dinner.

When I came home, she was still doing well but still breathing hard. I knelt down and 'sayang' her. She looked fine. Suddenly, she got on her feet and sat beside me. Ju was surprised and praised Chelsea for being strong. The very next moment, Chelsea collapsed besides me. This was the sixth time and the last time. She began her struggle for breath as we broke down into tears... Ju tried doing CPR for her but to no avail. Chelsea gasped for air and eventually stopped. She's gone. We broke down. It is so painful.

We wrapped her in a towel and placed her in a box with her favourite bed. She was lying peacefully as though she was sleeping. It is so hard for us. 7 years was just too short.

Chelsea, you've been a great companion! We will miss you guarding us with might, barking at the postman, jumping at us happily, telling us to cuddle you, jumping off the couch whenever we farted etc... Chelsea, you are our greatest friend. We always love you and you will be missed. Rest in peace, Chelsea.

Possible Lymphoma

Today Juliana brought Chelsea to the vet and Chelsea was diagnosed with possible Lymphoma. She was in very bad shape. Her lymph nodes are swollen and the vet said her bone marrow not producing enough red blood cells.

At one point when she got home, she collapsed. Literally collapsed. She whined and went out of breath. She was gasping for air and eventually stopped breathing. Her tongue stuck out and she's gone. Ju hurried to give her a CPR and revived her.

Now she is breathing harder and totally weak. She can t move much. She's no longer the Chelsea we know. We felt heartbroken every time we see her struggle.

Chelsea, we love you. Please bear with it and get well soon.

Chelsea

Chelsea is very sick right now. There are red spots on her belly and she is breathing very hard. Her eyes are bloodshot. She is very weak and even stopped.playing..I.wonder if the vet from Knight Vet did a good job. Her condition got worse ever since.. let's pray she gets better after seeing the vet tmr. Stay strong Chelsea!

P.S. It is really heartbreaking seeing her in this state. Never seen her like this before. Get well soon girl.

4D scan

Man... I have a really busy week at work after the 4 D scan weekend. No time to rest as there are so many things going on.

The 4D scan wasn't successful as Renee was hiding behind the placenta. She was compressing her face to it and was snuggling in Ju. The technician tried to shake Renee to make her shift but she just snuggle into the placenta. Such a darling.

As her due date nears, we are starting to stock up baby stuffs. This weekend, we are going to Boise again for the 4D baby scan and also to buy some baby stuff from Costco.

We are getting more.excited each day even though we just returned from a fantastic Las Veags trip. (Only because of the last day, we are annoyed by the airlines inconsistency in baggage that make us pay more). Ultimately, we had great fun there and had enjoy the food there!

We will post more on Las Vegas trip soon. Hopefully, I have the time. This week is going to be busy too.......

Stay tune!

P.S. Chelsea looks slightly better but she is still breathing abnormally. She has discharge on her eyes and her lymph nodes are still swollen. Hopefully she gets better. Love you Chelsea!

Chelsea's Sick

For the past few weeks, Chelsea has been picky over her food. She doesn't want to eat and that led her to vomit gastric liquid. In the beginning it was pretty normal as we knew she didn't eat her food.
The next few weeks, she was still vomiting. That got us worried and Ju brought her to the vet. The vet didn't do much and postulated that she might be suffering from pancreatitis. She prescribe us some medicine to feed Chelsea.

For few days, Chelsea did not vomit and was behaving normal. She still plays, run around as usual. However, she stopped eating again thereafter and starting vomiting again. Ju had to force her to eat by limiting her playtime. Eventually, Chelsea ate some of her food and her vomiting stopped. Few days back, we noticed Chelsea has been behaving strangely. She still plays and looks really active but she was breathing abnormally and looked sick. We were pretty confused as a dog usually will not play when they are sick. We monitored her situation for two days and finally decided to bring her to see the vet again.

This time, the vet looked at her more thoroughly and even did a X-ray scan for her. After the X-ray scan, the vet found out that Chelsea is suffering from lungs infection. She was given an antibiotic jab and now she looks better. Though the medical bill may be little ex but Chelsea's health is more important to us! She has been part of us and we can't bear to see her suffering in pain.

Get well soon, Chelsea!

P.S. This Saturday we will be going for Renee 4D scan. Excited! Previously, the doc said Ju's tummy did not meet up to expectation but after an ultrasound in Elmore, Renee looks fine!

Planning Our Next Adventure

After working for some time, it is time to take a break. We are looking towards the Labour Day weekend and are deciding where to go during the holiday. Shall we go to LA? LV?  Seattle? Maybe San Francisco?

With Ju at the 3rd trimester, we want to go out and enjoy ourselves before she eventually gave birth to our princess. Vegas is on my mind as there are lots of asian restaurants that can satisfied our search for delicious asian delicacies. LA. We have not been to LA for a long time. Despite, there will be a Taiwanese food fare there. Man... that's a difficult decision to make. Anyway, both locations are awesome places to take a break.

With Ju at third trimester,  I want her to enjoy all the delicious food! Our little one has been pretty active lately. Seems like training to be the next MMA champion like Ronda Rousey. Lol!
