Pals, let your pals know about our emporium for dogs, packed with amazing loot! Online & in Cheltenham, we try every day to be the best dog shop ever!
Friends! We finally found it!
A rare wheelchair-accessible home with ramps, a yard, and an accessible bathroom. Pretty much move in ready. We just need a bit more to cover the down payment & moving costs. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. ๐ You guys have always been so supportive but if there's anyway you can help, now would be the time as we don't have much time to make this happen.

I'm struggling to put this in words.
This evening, Kuno passed away. A day after his 8th birthday. He had fluid in his abdomen and was becoming septic. They did all sorts of diagnostics. The only possible treatment course would have been very invasive and had a low survival rate, especially in older dogs. The post-operative recovery would be very long and really hard on him, and that was if he could recover from the infection. He'd need feeding tubes the first while, and it's quite likely there would be permanent organ damage. If he survived, it would be highly unlikely he'd be a healthy dog. I chose not to put him through all that, and he was humanely euthanized. I sat with him, but I couldn't reach him when he was lying down, but his HumanFriend (Pistols dad) sat on the floor with him. He passed away peacefully.
They also found a tumor on his spleen. Although it likely had nothing to do with this particular incident, they'd have taken the spleen as well to send to histology.
I'm sure some of you have questions. They need to wait. Right now my heart hurts, but it also really hasn't hit me yet. I did expect this. He was fine. And now he's gone.
He was what made my world good. He inspired me, and he made me push myself to get out in the world. He loved me when I resented my own limitations. He made so many things become possible.
I'll do a better post later. Right now I'm tired and my head hurts from so much crying. I'm hoping when I wake up in the morning this will have all been a bad dream. But I know many of you care and were worried. I wanted to let you know. ๐
