    I saw Pela for the first time in February 2016 and fell in love at first sight. She was eight (we think) and had spent half her life on the street and the other half in a fenced field with some other rescue dogs. I fostered her and on the first day I knew she was staying forever. Since I wrote the text for the video she is better, I'd say that by now she is at her 90-95%.

    Job 12:7-10
    But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
    8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
    9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
    10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

    You express the journey she is on so lovingly and elegantly, with a deep respect of what you are to each other. She is that elegant, stoic, wise elder, leading you into her altered world, slowly, so as not to overwhelm you, showing you she is still everything you have come to love about her. Your hope is in her, hers in you, as the bond that will always be there. Words can not always convey the depth of feeling that comes with change. The grace with which we accept it, is our way thru it. You will always be a part of each other, in this realm, and beyond. May the Lord turn His face to you, and keep you in His light. 🙏🕊

    Valia, the Great Communicator in words and video. Your words move mountains, capture emotions so purely, describe aspects of life that we all know and experience with such clarity, and present your love for your beloved friend, a dog that has suffered a stroke and is on the road to recovery - not completely but enough to give you hope of a resurrection of the life before and you do it such a way that it moves us all. Thank you. Your humanity sings like a massive choir in a cathedral with a hundred voices singing in harmony that touches the core of everyone who listens. Thank you.

    This touched deep, Valia. Rex, my family's Belgian Sheepdog cross, had a "stroke" (there is overlap amongst the symptoms of strokes and vestibular disease in dogs, even inner ear infections, so unless there's imaging you can't be 100% sure according to my vet) aged 13 at the time, in June 2020. He was my lockdown night time walk companion in deserted streets too, but we had to stop that for a while. 10 days after the incident, he was 85% recovered and almost completely fine by the time a month went by. He went on to start chasing the cats again and it was the first time I was happy to see him doing that, as it meant to me that he was himself again. He lived another 15 months after that, eventually developing heart failure, but no other signs of neurological issues during that time. I hope she keeps recovering well and you get as much precious time with her as possible!

    • @OrphanPetGreece
      @OrphanPetGreece  Před 8 měsíci +6

      Thank you. I keep thinking about what if this keeps happening again and again. It's so confusing for the dogs, and they feel so vulnerable. Vestibular disease is what she has actually. She had a stroke one night, recovered in two hours, fje next day she was fine, and 24 hours later she had another episode, a bit different than the first, and that was vestibular disease. Don't know exactly how the two are linked but all those details were unnecessary for the video I thought.

I have "let go" of my cats several times and it is always difficult, when you love it is like that. Sweet Valia a hug from Italy

Caring for dogs in different ways has always felt like its little space and you complete it by telling its story. I know one day i may go through the same feelings and difficulties as you right now. But all I can say is that my heart goes out to you and your lovely companions, she'll never be lonely because she has you, caring and loving her all the same forever ❤

    I was afraid of this video. It´s actually not that bad, only...pretty bad, but no total catastrophy. Which is positive, after all.
    She will recover, be less wobbly, will go on living a good life again. And one day in the future, you will lose her forever. But not yet.
    Valia, i sincerly hope you will write a book with poetry or plays, and get filthy rich selling it. You´d deserve that as you are a poet, and an amazing soul. I am deeply moved and would like to thank you. All the best to you all.

    @DerHyperboreer Před 8 měsíci +2

    Thank you again for a heart warming video. This looks for me like a VESTIBULAR stroke. Head tilt, bad balance, if its acute rapid eye movement. I would not know, if we had not seen this 4 times with our dogs by now. Our Hanka for example, a german shepherd from Romania, had this three times in two years an age about 12 years first time. She recovered from it very well in a couple of months every time. I remember the first time was very frightening for us, we thought we would lose her. But our vet told us, that this usually is not deadly for dogs an they recover. Our Hanka left us with 14 1/2 years, when she could not walk any more with her bad back, but the vestibular was not the reason. She had a happy time and got a lot of love... I hope Pela will recover fast and you will have many happy moments together. ;-)

    • @OrphanPetGreece

    En février dernier, j’ai dû dire adieu à mon chien qui avait presque seize ans

    Sa dernière année de vie n’a pas été facile! Des visites chez le vétérinaire, des médicaments à prendre. Jamais, il ne s’est plaint, jamais!!

I lost my once in a lifetime girl 3 .5 years ago now. Though i had her 12 years, it went like a week. I couldnt bear to put her down, but i had to she was so very sick. I am crying now writing about her. She was everything. Even all the cats and dogs lived ger. Children loved her. Everyone loved her.i was afraid the grief woukd consume me, i had that fear before she passed. But i survived.
