smday Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm sad to report that Dita died yesterday. She had lost a lot of weight and wasn't eating well although she was acting like her usual self. The vet couldn't find anything on a manual exam or much on x-ray and ultrasound. She did appear to have something unusual in her stomach so we scheduled her for surgery. It turned out that her stomach and intestines were fine but her spleen was highly suspicious. The vet went to take a sample to biopsy when she had some sort of event like a seizure and died. The vet said it was sudden and massive and was probably an aneurysm. Who knows. At least she went quickly. She was a grand old girl that we had since she was about 2. I'm sure she is running with all my other dogs and her greyhound friends over the bridge. I'm pretty sure she and her famous mother Loca are tearing it up! While we still have 2 dogs, we don't have a greyhound for the first time in many years. I'm sure we will get another but not right away. Quote Lexi the pointeresque mutt (1999), Homer the chi mix (2010) and Lacey the ? (2009). Always remembering Dita, Best, Oba, Bubba, and the others at the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinw Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Susan, as I said yesterday, I am so very sorry. I remember when we both first read about Dita and her mum, my bridge angel, Loca, on GT. Batmom "helped" them write their plea for a forever home, hopefully together. Could you imagine what our lives would have been like if one of us welcomed both of them??? OMG!!! Dita has always been very special to me. I have no doubt that she and Loca are at the bridge sharing stolen red wine, eating stolen Belgian chocolates, and stubbornly refusing to give up their seats to anybody with a quick look to kill.
