Well lost another furbaby. Prancer got to point where her thyroid got the best of her. This is 6 in the last 3 years or so. Guess you have to expect that when all you babies are rescued strays. http://lestark.webs.com/ |

It is painful to lose one of our furbabies, and painful beyond belief to lose that many in such a short period of time. MaryL |

Guess you have to expect that when all you babies are rescued strays. http://lestark.webs.com/ I'm so sorry. It's always hard to lose a loved one, furred or not. I learned a long time ago that whenever we allow ourselves to love, we are setting ourselves up to be hurt. However, love is what makes life worthwhile, so it's just the price we have to pay. That doesn't help when you're hurting now, but you know you have given her (and the others) love, safety and happiness they wouldn't have had otherwise. |

Guess you have to expect that when all you babies are rescued strays. http://lestark.webs.com/ It's true that rescued strays often have health problems but I've taken them on too. Knowing that. Sorry to hear that she is gone, but without you she would have probably had a much shorter life. Take some comfort in that, if you can. You did well by her. My rescued lurcher not only cost me megabucks at the vets but she had major behavioural problems too, which is probably why she got dumped in the first place but we managed it all and lived together successfully for 13 years. Although after the first month, I nearly took her back, it was worth it in the end. Rescued cats/dogs have a history that you don't know about. No health care for certain. |

The reason I called him a rescue is that my neighbor offered him to me, and we trapped him. All of my cats have had exceptionally good health and have become wonderful companions. The least amount of years that any of them lived (of those now at RB) was 16 years. I have photo albums of several of my furbabies. Here are some of them.

Every dog I every adopted from a shelter got some illness from there and cost lots of money to put right. But once you've got them you have to do it. Plus accept their behaviour problems that sent them there in the first place. Trim was one of the most difficult dogs I ever had. Take your eyes off her for a moment when she claimed needing a wee in the garden, and she'd be off over the fence. I spent many hours looking for her. When I found her, she'd been into every bin she could find and was bloated. I used to make her vomit when she came home (secret recipe) and luckily I did as once she was full of string from a turkey carcase. I stopped her going out in the garden without me. She was not easy but she was well up for "look at my mummy funny and I'll be up at your throat" and she did it once. She was not wrong about that. |
