  1. What a beautiful tribute you wrote for your boy Scully.

    Every time I see his pictures, I have to smile.

    And that is what I hope for you to feel soon, a smile coming up in memory to sweet Scully.

  2. Fynn...

     

    she is gone...

     

    And I still cannot believe it. It was only 20 months ago that I saw her at Scooby.

     

    3 weeks later she was in our home. She was a very sweet girl, who had a hard time finding trust in people again. But she learned. Soon enough she let us love her and gave us her trust.

    And we were going to need it for the fight we had to fight together 8 months later when we found out she had Cushing disease.

    For a few months we were afraid we would loose her, but she never gave up.

    And she made it through a chemo that was terrible on her and us.

    After those months, the healing started and we learned what a great girl this was.

    She learned Isa to snuggle with other dogs, and acted as a guarddog to her.

    They were always together. Fynn gave her security when outside since Isa is going blind.

     

    What we didn't know, or wanted to know that she still had a tumour in her brain.

    And it grew without us knowing.

    Until this wednesday, when she suddenly had a seisure.

    Thursday she started to have them at 9 pm and then every half hour.

    At 11 pm the vet arrived.

    At 11.30 pm she left us.

    At that moment Isa jumped up the couch with her, laid next to her, a paw and her head over her back. They stayed that all night.

     

    I still cannot believe it, there is a physical pain inside me.

    Want to scream that this is so unfair...

    She was doing so great, still on her way to heal.

    And now she is gone.

    In March this year, a little 12 year old whippet came into our home as a foster.

    Within 5 minutes he was in our hearts, 2 days later, we were officially adopted by him.

    Small as he was, he protected his three girls against any other dog, may it be a JRT or an Irish Wolfhound.

    About two weeks ago he started having difficulties breathing, a scratch in his throat the vet thought. Two days ago we found out it was much more serious.

     

    During our walk this afternoon I saw him struggle and than... he looked up to me

    asking me for help.

    A few hours later the vet came at our home and helped him to the bridge.

     

    He went so peacefully.

     

    Bye little brave one...

    Kit and Yarrah are waiting for you.

    We loved her for almost 19 years.

    Today I had to let her go...

     

    We adopted her from a shelter when she was 4 months old, in September she would have turned 19.

    She was there when we married and when our son was born, she saw the arrival of those mean spanish dogs.

    She was there...almost half of my life.

     

    Today we said goodbye, it was time.

    She had a long, healthy life and was loved.

     

    Bye sweety :heart

  5. Thanks Diane,

    thanks to your list we could convince a vet to test for Ehrlichia. We don't have any experiece with it, but it is common in Spain. In this case the vet was going to treat for Leukemia and didn't want to test until he saw the list.

    Turns out the galgo has Ehrlichia and Leishmanioses.
