Yesterday, we said goodbye to Cree, our Jack-Russell/Corgi-X. She was 14 years old and had been suffering from arthritis for several years. Unf, she was sensitive to the best available anti-inflammatories and so our ability to manage her pain was limited.
In addition, yesterday am she showed blood in her urine, and tests suggested it was either a severe urinary tract infection or a tumour. In either case, we were again limited in our ability to safely control the inflammation and pain - leading me to the difficult decision to end her suffering.
Cree had been with me 12+ years - pre-dating Ian in my life by One Day - which I never let him forget.
We will miss you, old friend.
I am so sorry for your lose.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am sooo sorry. I held my husky-shep as he passed and it was heart-wretching even though he had way out lived his peers at 16 1/2 yrs old...

Aw... I'm so sorry. Losing a pet/family member is so hard....
