Buddy the Dachshund that I rescued almost three years ago from a puppy mill auction run by the Amish is saying it's time to say good-bye and let him go to Rainbow Bridge. When Buddy came to out house he had never been out of his little pen they kept him in..he was just a stud dog. Used to sire litter after litter of puppies. I traced it back through AKC and he has sired close to 30 litters ! Here at our house he has learned you get better things to eat than many three day old bread and such. You get clean water,a clean place to eliminate,a soft bed to sleep and most of all respect and true love. That is what makes it so hard to say goodbye. It seems as though this time has flown by and he hasn't had near enough of the 'good life'. Sometimes life can turn bitter and hateful and I guess this is just another one of those times. Please say a prayer for his passing and the human that loves him endlessly.I have had to put dogs to slumber before but this is one of those you can hardly bear to even think of it. The vet we use said put him down nearly 4 months ago but he wasn't ready,now he is. He is refusing food and drinking very little water. There is no way to administer the furosemide without needles and I will not put him through that. The vet ultra-sounded him and never gave a definitive diagnoses as to why he looks like a walking bowling ball. I am thinking it must be a horrific tumor. Tomorrow we make that journey of sorrows unless the Lord graciously takes him tonight. Hubby is at work as a guard and no way to do anything until then. Thanks for letting me vent....the pain is just too great. It won't stay in anymore. Your Friend In Oklahoma, ~Mare~ No virus found in this incoming message.
