The inevitable sad day.
Almost three years ago, we took in our neighbor's little dog when she became unable to care for her. The little Yorkie-****zu cross had been an apartment dog all her life and became our neighbor's when her adult children moved into a place which didn't allow pets. The little dog had never learned to play, had been fed the cheapest dog food and had numerous issues.
When she moved in, our Border Collie was wise enough to give her space and the two got along well. About a month ago she started having fainting spells and it was discovered she was suffering from congestive heart failure. Medication relieved the fluid build up and she had a good month. This morning she was in distress and was rushed to the vet. It became apparent she was at the end of this road. Bella was laid to rest this morning with her toys and blankets under a new blue spruce tree after out Border Collie had a chance to say "goodbye ". It is going to be rough when our granddaughter gets home from school, as this happened after she got on the bus. This part always sucks. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1719238666.jpg Goodbye, Little one. Les |
So sorry Old E.

RIP Bella
You had a rough start girl, but you wound up in the right home. You had a pal and family that loved you. Goodbye Little one |
I’ve been working on my daughter’s property in the lead up to her outdoor wedding that was held this past Sat. For the last three months on the weekends working to get her and her fiancé to the finish line. When I’m working from home, the pups are pretty content to hang and be good. I took PTO all last week, nine straight, long days of work on the property. Dogs weren’t exactly pleased.
We had been keeping our wedding clothes closed away in my office and the day of the wedding I rushed home to shower and grab my suit after last minute decorating. My wife and my daughters were all together at the property so, it was only me coming back to the house. Showered, grabbed my suit and headed back up to the kids to get dressed. In my rush, I neglected to close my office door on the way out. Came home around midnight to this: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1719359137.jpg Oh, I KNOW who was upset,,,,, http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1719359241.jpg |

Our rescue decided to follow my wife up our lane as she left and I was coming home in the 930… after running after her for 3/4 of a mile, I decided he deserved a ride back to the house… |
^^^ Perfect.

Pepper’s over the shoulder catches were amazing! Such a hard working BC.
At 14 she was attacked by a dog off leash in a small town near where I was camping. A week later, my wife finds a wound on her back from the attack. Felt bad that I didn’t find the bite. She didn’t even yelp. Small towns and roaming dogs seem to be a problem that doesn’t go away. |

Today would've been Boser's 17th birthday. Unfortunately on Saturday we decided it was time to let him rest. We'd had him since he fit in your hand, and was our first dog together.

Two weeks ago my wife almost ran over a puppy. She stopped to yell at the people in the house. They said they’d just had a litter and asked if she wanted one. So now we have Baby Riot. |

Aww, what a nice little puppy ! You rescued him from who knows what kind of future! Now, he will be safe, happy, and deservedly spoiled ! Happy homecoming Riot ! |
He came with a wonderful combination of malnutrition and diarrhea. Pooped dirt and rocks for the first few days. We were going to hand him off to some neighbors. But he’s fit in here fairly well so a decision was made.
It’s going to be ten years before I get the next heeler I want. |
