I am so glad we didn't wait a while to get another dog and so glad I was on FB that night and so glad I didn't say no when the one we thought was black was brown, were sure though we got the same one that looked black and was a male. Norton said he got the darkest one. Couldn't turn back at that point, Rita had already named him.
Because I was sick and getting certain people together we are not doing Rowdy's ashes till spring. Moved the can to the closet yesterday, Little Brown Dog licked the dust out of my etes.
Rowdy won't mind
last Sunday, we lost Cody (Bufallo Bill Cody) to sudden Kidney failure. He had diabetes and CKD ( chronic Kidney Disease) for about 3 years.
both were under control with insulin shots twice daily and other meds. He was active and comfortable right up until friday night (day of the the dead).
He Started acting very poorly late Saturday night, we didn;t get much sleep, and ran him into the Emergency Vet Sunday morning.
Turns out his kidneys failed completly, blood numbers were off the chart. Nothing we could have done. I truly think he decided his work was done,
and so his kidneys just quit.
There was nothing left to be done but to grant him "grace" and assist him to pass comfortably.
I built him a nice little box, but could not bury him until today.
We Just now finished burying him, with his favorite toys, tobacco and sage, and an honor song.
Buried him right between his best buddy Zorro, and their mentor Groucho.
it never gets any easier.
