I haven't posted in a few months, and boy, it comes with good reason. Shortly after my last post, we were forced to make the decision to put our beloved dog to sleep.
Our spunky, lab/shepard mix shelter girl, who had just turned 14 on 2/1, will certainly be missed. My husband is absolutely lost without her. He has had her since he was a teenager, and I always joked that her loved her more than me (even though I really wasn't joking, because I knew it to be true).
We were forced to come to this decision unexpectedly, and suddenly. Her liver was failing, and we couldn't be selfish. Of course, things like this always have to happen on a weekend, when limited medical care for animals is available in the area we live in. We are unsure exactly what was going on with her, whether cancer, or something treatable, but she became very sick very quickly, and probably wasn't strong enough for surgery, even with a best case prognosis.
A special thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at the Capital Area Veterinary Emergency Services, in Concord, NH.
We are lost without her. Katie, you are always in my heart. 2/1/1996-2/26/2010
"A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his." -John Grogan
