I wrote a previous thread about my kitty having kidney failure and the torment of knowing what the best and only decision would be. Within a day or so after I wrote that thread J.D. (kitty) lost his sight. The next day we had him put to rest. I have had J.D. for 16 yrs. I miss him terribly but I know kitty won't hurt now. This was the beginning of a series of events that truly
tested our strength and love for our animals. We have seven dogs and a week later only five. We rescued "Treasure". from the dog pound about 10 yrs. ago and I think I wrote on here about One mans trash is another mans treasure and hence came his name. He was such a great dog to have, full of spirit and silliness.We loved him dearly. One day he just stopped breathing
without any warning. The vet met us at the clinic tried life support but sadly he didn't live. We lost our little boy.I suddenly felt that I couldn't breathe.
Treasure would turn Ten yrs. this month of December. We buried him next to J.D.kitty. Before he was put in his grave, I had time to talk to him and hold him in my arms. What a blessing to have him in our life. My Great Dane , Alex, had arthritis in her one back leg . We gave her cosiquin for her joints.It came to the point where she stopped walking and just collapse. We would have to put a sheet under her and help her stand to go outside to potty. She weighed 145 and was dead weight to support her back end. Sometimes she would have an accident while laying in her bed.
Never did we ever complain or scold her.I knew that she would never do that if she could keep from doing it. Cancer soon developed in Alex's leg and I couldn't believe it was happening.again as we had just buried two.Her love was running. Alex loved to run but she could not do it anymore. I would watch her face and the look she had watching the other dogs run. We put Alex to rest so she wouldn't hurt anymore.Alex was my heart.I made her a special blanket to put with her. Tears come to my eyes
when I think of our dear animals, but we know it was best for them and they don't suffer now. Doodle bug7
