| "They're coming to get you Barbara." 9/26/09
I had to put my three year old Dachshund, Barbara, to sleep today. She woke up dragging her back legs behind her and didn't want to put any weight on them. She tried several times to walk on them and every time she tried she would trip over her back legs. It was the most pitiful sight. I took her to the animal hospital and x-rays showed three calcified discs in her back along with her curved little spine. Surgery was discussed but I simply couldn't afford it. I've had Barbara for 4 months. I rescued her from a neglectful home and she's been the best friend that I could ask for.
I buried her in a brown cardboard box underneath a tree in my backyard with her favorite blanket, stuffed monkey, and collar.
I know I did the right thing but it doesn't make it any easier. |
