It’s taken me a long time to get ready to make a post about this, because I’ve been so distraught. Over the last few weeks I have been trying to properly grieve over the loss of my heart dog, and the origination of my program, Sirius. We did not discover until he was far too deep in that there is a deadly fungus called blastomycosis. He had been taken to the vet to try to figure out what was wrong, as he hadn’t been eating, and would adamantly refuse food every time that it was offered. He became lethargic, still wanting to be by my side and wanting to participate with the other dogs, but gradually becoming too weak even with medication trying to combat the symptoms of the fungus that had implanted itself in his stomach. I’ve been so deeply hurt by this and haven’t been able to post or talk about it with anyone. This dog meant more to me than anything in the world. And with everything that I’ve already got going on, just added another knife to the heart. I am going to miss you forever Bubby. I mean that.
