: Last night my baby dog, Rose was in some kind of distress. Her
ears have
: been bothering her lately, and Mike had given her the much dreaded
bath the
: day before. So I took her into the bathroom and cleaned out her
ears and her
: ears didn't seem right.
:
: I put cleaning solution into them, and this upset her, but she was
already
: in distress for some reason, and I kept finding places where the
carpet was
: wet. She kept going to her "safe" place, the bathtub and lying in
it, and
: then coming back into the livingroom where Mike and I were in a
deep
: conversation. At one point, she threw up and after I cleaned her
foamy mess
: up, she went to the nook and lay down on the floor in son's room.
We were
: having computer problems and after I convinced son that we both
needed to go
: to bed, I looked over at Rose and she was really sick.
:
: It wasn't so bad as it was strange. Thick clear stuff like sinus
or
: something. So I asked her if she wanted to go out and she slowly
got up and
: I let her outside. And then she refused to come in. So we all
went to bed,
: and this morning I woke up to Sugar asking me if she could go out
please,
: and I got up and started to call Rose and there she was. My sweet
baby girl
: had come back from wherever she had gone when she slipped out last
night,
: and lay under my bedroom window and passed on.
:
: The vet says that this is a fluke occurance. That large and deep
chested
: animals, particularly dogs like Labs and German shepherds and
horses
: sometimes have something called twisting stomach. The stomach
literally
: twists on itself and the dog actually suffers horribly, and unless
it's
: caught immediately, they die of it by drowing in their bile.
which is what
: my puppy dawg did last night just outside my window, as close as
she could
: get to the bedroom she's slept in for the last almost nine years
of her
: life.
:
: I am numb and so saddened I am beside myself right now. I know
this was a
: little graphic, but I can't help it. Please know that right now I
am not
: only in major grief, but I can't get my SHOVEL INTO THE DAMN
GROUND, despite
: all the rains to put her in her woods..........so just know that a
very good
: dawg has gone on and as I look at Sugar lying there at my feet,
all sad and
: searching the rooms for her Alpha mama, she will try to fill these
huge paws
: of Roses for me.
