    Another angel earned her wings yesterday

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    Eureka went to the bridge yesterday afternoon because of osteo in her front right leg.  She left a litermate sister at my house that she had never been away from  the time they were born.  She let me know 1 month & 3 days before that something was not right & this past weekend she was ready to fly away.  My Prince has lost so many housemates to various cancers that he just looked at me  with a sad "not another one" look when he smelled cancer in here.  He has been with me for 10+ of his 12 years & is trying to be strong for this loss.  Eureka & V came to me last fall when Prince & I lost our Honey to a heart attack & were a big help for Prince as he had never been alone before.  Eureka is the 21 grey that I have lost to cancer & when the vet came in to administer the shots she said I sure picked a hard breed to love but I said I wouldn't stop loving them because of the cancers.  My vet let me be in the room with her so she didn't go alone for which I am thankful because I've seen so many people say they haven't been allowed to be with their dog at the end. It is quiet here since Eureka always barked when she wanted to go out & neither Prince nor V do that.  I hate cancer is all its forms no matter if it is a dog, cat, or person it attacks.  Everyone hug your hounds & look skyward tonight  see if you can see a new bright star that will be Eureka racing to the bridge.

    My beautiful Honey was very afraid of thunder & the hours of storms we had Wed night were too much for her.  After she went outside with her brother early yesterday morning she came in & climbed up on the dog couch where I dried her off left the room for a few minutes & when I walked back to check on her she was gone.  I never thought this would happen as she always was a happy health girl,  when my SIL came to put her in the car for me he said he wasn't too surprised,  Run free Honey & watch over Prince & me.  We love you 

    Ground Turkey?

    My two think raw turkey is a great treat. Last night I gave them so chicken gizzards mixed in their kibble but they wheren't too impressed. I tried ground turkey that I cooked for them & they ate it but never asked for more. If it is fresh it should be ok for them.

    Honey is my 10 yr old broodie that says welcome home Petunia! I bet Rocket had a hand in sending her your way These old broods make good nurses if either of you get sick as Honey showed when I had a serious fall & hit my head knocking me out, she kept checking on me all night & made me get up every hour.. Glad you have her.

    I'm sorry for your loss. My you have a small dog come cuddle you in the night as I did after Noelle did. Even my doctor said it happened as she wanted me to know she was safely across the bridge.

    Poodle Mix Food Issues

    I use Victor Yukon Valley Salomon & sweet potato for my old boy He was having a hard time with foods with chicken but is doing well on this. I used other Victor foods for other dogs before & they served us well. One good thing about this food is that Prince does not have "fishy breath". Give is a try.

    Limiting Water Intake For House Greyhounds

    When I ran an adoption group we had a girl bounce that the owner said she had kidney issues but it turned out they would not let her drink when she wanted. At first she wouldn't drink if a person was in the same room as the water bowl sd she was afraid the bowl would be removed so I finally took her to the water bowl & stood next to her talking quietly until she drank & in a week of this she found she was allowed water as she needed it & she never had any issues again. Good luck with your new girl & remember we love pictures!

    Laryngeal Paralysis

    Thank you again for posting a very good article. I had a vet tell my that my Aussie/Healer girl suffered from this but after paying more attention to how she ate, drank & played I found she didn't suffer from any problems of this type, in fact Speckie was very healthy & lived a long life as the mother to all fosters as well as my own dogs for 13 years. I wish there were more holistic vets around to treat our pets.
