Happy National Dog Day Roxi - Let us see your dog 🥰

12 year old that was surrendered because her owner was moving out of state. He had her since she was 8 weeks old and needless to say, Roxie was devastated. She spent the first 48 hours howling, barking and crying, while she tried to call for him…it was horrible. BUT as I sat with her, every minute got better. When she would go out, she would keep turning around to see if I was still with her. After about two weeks, Roxie began to show me who she was….a true German shepherd, she trusted me, she was kind and she was adjusting to her new world. She is an incredible girl and is very much loved…

As a sanctuary for the unwanted, misunderstood, and displaced, we are always faced with loss that is gut wrenching and devastating to us. The precious souls that are with us are considered family and loved beyond belief. When we lose one of our many aging souls, we have to step back and try to reflect on what they did have versus those that failed them in the past. Such is the case with Buster. He chose to leave us this Memorial Day. He was 13 in January. Although we do everything possible, you just can’t fight age.

Dear Buster,

When I reflect on all the years you had with us, I just cannot believe that you are now no longer with us. Even in those golden years , your beautiful face escaped the warning signs of an aging old man. Your kindness and “go with the flow” mannerisms were ever present and I guess that your passing was in the manner. We could tell that you were content, happy to have the love that surrounded you, Happy to know where your next meal was coming from and happy to have your Dad(Don) be there for you in the end. I remember how you and Ethan loved to hang out together and I am sure that you are again reunited. I hope you knew how loved you were. Dad is struggling right now with your passing, knowing that he will no longer see that beautiful face, touch that luscious coat of yours and to just be with you. I believe that you will remain by his side to guide him through the grief. Run free big boy, and for now, so long, not forever but until……..

Bo update. It is with heavy heart that I share the passing of this precious boy. The humane Society contacted me today to give me details surrounding his passing because so many of our followers, including myself, fell in love with this boy. He was taken to the vets to begin the process of assessing him prior to much needed dental services and masses that he had. The lab results were not good but even more distressing was the fact that Bo began to show signs of distress and was not himself. It was discovered that he was bleeding internally. His age was not in his favor and undergoing a grueling surgery with little hope of success was not fair to this boy.

As a senior lover and as someone that has had to make these decisions, I know that it wasn’t easy. Unfortunately we cannot “love them back to health”. We had all hoped that he would recover but sometimes age and the wisdom of these fabulous dogs, have other plans. As hard as this decision is and was, I would have made the same decision, for Bo’s sake. It’s tough to say goodbye, even to a dog you have never touched.

Dear Bo,

Oh precious one. I never met you, I knew you from afar. Yet I felt I knew you, your kindness, character and stoic nature came through those pictures. In a very short period of time, you had many followers that were routing for you. But sadly, your tired body had other plans. Living to the age of 13 is quite impressive. Run free big boy and maybe at some point we will meet again. Goodbye for now…..not forever but until…..

As outlined in yesterday’s post, the Humane Society has responded to my inquiry. Here is the update verbatim.

“In consultation with our vets, we immediately started treating him for his obvious medical needs, and he's scheduled for further diagnostics. He has some major growths that need to be assessed and removed, a noticeable on-going skin problem, and he needs a comprehensive dental. Once we can be sure of all his medical needs, we will determine what we can care for now, and what an adopter would need to be able to manage for the rest of his life. Only then will we start talking to potential adopters. We have Adopter Information forms on file already, from folks who love the oldies, and we are directing people who have seen the posts to fill out forms and send them in for consideration. “

For anyone that has been lucky enough to have seniors know that the aging process affects each dog differently. They get lumps and bumps, allergies, motor issues, dental disease, etc. he is an “old man” and his issues will be dealt with methodically. As stated by the humane society above, if this old man touches your heart like he touches mine, get your application in to them.
