Daisy MAE - R i pDaisy was one of the sweetest dogs I have had the pleasure of saving. She was a stray that we found in 2015. We searched for her family. She was smart and well mannered, so she had one at one time. She stayed with my son for a couple of weeks and then went to live with my father. He had Alzheimer's so we were there or had caregiver around the clock. She was so good with him. She slept at the foot of his bed. She would come in and my dad would tell us that a dog had followed us in. We told him that was his dog and he would reply that he didn't have a dog like that. She was a great conversation piece for sure. She was very calm, except during a thunder storm, which she cared nothing for. After my father passed, I brought Daisy home but it was difficult with the rescues I already had. She went to live with a sweet friend and caregiver of my dads who loved Daisy as her own. Every year they would tell us at the vet that Daisy is older than we first thought. A year after my father passed, she started showing signs of canine dementia. I thought what in the world is that. Can they be serious? I saw a bit of this when she was with me but I thought it was anxiety. We were in and out of the vet and her health started declining rapidly. Doing research on the subject and knowing that her quality of life was not there anymore, we said goodbye to this girl a year ago - June, 2020.

Dutchess - R I PWhat can I say about this sweet girl. She was one of our first rescues. A true gem. She had a gentle soul and had been broke to death. She quickly became the momma after Jubilee and Alexa were adopted. She kept everyone in line and and yet had a gentleness for a small child to approach. We decide early on that Dutchess would remain and be our Senior representative. Last fall, she began rapidly losing weight. She was always a hard keeper, however this was different. We spoke to several people about feed, met with two different vets, even talked to a feed specialist, but nothing seemed to help. We added everything we could with no changes. Was it just the age or was something else going on. We had some test done, but In March we had to say goodbye to this sweet girl. The vets guess based on results was cancer. We did not want her to suffer. She was so thin and had slowed down. That was painful to look at and I'm sure would not be good for her any longer. RIP sweet girl. I'm glad
we got to love you in the last few years. |
