Just got sad news from the parents at the ranch [emoji22], seems to be a common thread this week. Shelby, one of their 9 Aussies who is 13 1/2 has been putting up a tremendous fight with a neuromuscular disorder causing all loss of rear motor function causing damage to the fronts of his back feet and rubbing fur an skin raw. Today his front legs gave out and he can no longer move. They are having to make that most difficult of choices we pet owners/lovers have to make when they are family. It unbelievably hard to put this into words as so many of you have also had to experience. It will be a little quieter at the Reigning Dust Ranch tonight.
You will be missed Mr Shelby,
Bugs
