Hope earned her wings today
August 25th, 2011

I am sorry to tell you that this afternoon due to a shutdown of Hope’s kidneys and liver, she went to the Rainbow Bridge. When she went to her doctor on Tuesday with urination problems, he said that she looked yellow and gave us several homeopathic meds for her. He received the blood test results yesterday, and they confirmed what he suspected. We were surprised that out of the clear, he diagnosed her with liver, kidney failure. We used the Eastern meds he gave us for two days, but there was no improvement. Her condition actually worsened during that time; she couldn’t move, wouldn’t eat or drink and appeared to be blind and possibly deaf. The toxins were taking over her body. I held her all night for the last two nights; she was non responsive. We wanted to let her go before she starting suffering.

It is with great sadness that we must let everyone know that Hope is no longer here with us on earth; she is with her siblings and Tripawds friends at the Bridge, waiting for the rest of her family.

She was such a very special little girl who had fought bravely for well over two years with fibro sarcoma, only to have her diseased leg amputated on June 17. And now, within the last couple of days to have her kidneys and liver shut down.

Run free, our little Miss Princess Hope. You will always remain in our hearts; we shall never forget you.

Tchin-Tchin was daddy’s girl, a sweetheart whom we will always love.

The first half of Sophie's life was spent bringing life into the world under deplorable conditions. The second half, spent loving and being loved. She was quiet and frail and so very sweet. We were always together for five years and now nothing is the same without her. When you read this, please give your furry friend(s) a special hug in remembrance of Sophie Wienholts.
