• Dora is gone

  Dora crossed the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. Wednesday night the infection seemed to return & I took her to the vet yesterday, where x-rays showed a lot of stones in her system, some blocking her urinary tract. She got perkier after she was given subQ's & it seemed like she could have a few more good days with pain meds & antibiotics, but this morning she was much worse & the meds were having little effect, so I had to get brave enough to be merciful. We arrived too early for the appointment & the office was closed for lunch break, so I sat on the bench outside of their door, with her next to me, talking & crying and telling her everything I wanted to say, mostly thanks for being in my life. This is a photo of how she greeted me nearly every morning that I had her, I think I shall miss that about her most of all.
