I'm very sad to report that Indie passed away from cancer in October. After consulting with the oncologist, she took oral chemotherapy for a few weeks, but then it started making her sick, so we stopped it. We got hydrocodone soon after she started coughing, and it virtually eliminated the cough. She seemed quite well and kept wanting to take walks until one morning when she suddenly started breathing shallowly and rapidly. I waited a few hours, but her breathing didn't return to normal. After a brief exam Dr. Wilson said Indie had liquid in her lungs and nothing else could be done to make her feel well, so I opted to euthanize her then so she wouldn't suffer. She passed surrounded by love and being reminded of what a great dog she is.
Last week we scattered Indie's ashes in the field and woods where she liked to run around and explore with Cash. It felt good to set her free, but we still miss her terribly. My deepest gratitude to everyone who helped rescue Indie and bring her into our lives.
RIP Indie, aka: Indiana Bones, Bones, The Leapin' Lizard, The Baby, and Barky McBarkerson.
