Wanted to let you all know. We lost our Sidney. Her CT scan showed that she had a deadly infection in her digestive tract called pythiosis. Dogs can get it from swimming or wading in water puddles. Both of which our dogs do. But she is the only one who showed symptoms of the disease. Treatment and prognosis isn't good and her infection was spread into her large and small intestines and mesentery. They knew they couldn't help her so we decided to let them take her outside, under a tree in the grass and let her go peacefully to sleep.

She was only in our lives for two years but she left paw prints on our hearts that will last for the rest of our lives.

I am very sorry!

That's horrible sad and scary. I'm so sorry for your loss.

How are you doing now that you have some free time for yourself? @DobieLover

Working extra hours at my paying job to make up on time owed. I'll be caught up tomorrow.

Well, that's definitely not the kind of "making use of free time" I had in mind.

Sidney will be waiting with a tennis ball for you when you get to heaven. All up there will take good care of her.

She loved to take her brother's favorite ball away from him and bring it to me so I could throw it for her. Thanks Cheep.
