Having to put down a pet is one of the hardest things we ahve ever had to do. They are family. Our last dog Lulu was a rescue also and when she could no longer breathe through her nose because of the cancer we stayed with her until she passed away at age 14 1/2.
We had her cremated and the people who handled that were very comforting and supportive. When we received the remains in their special case we placed it on a special display so that we can honor her forever.
Because of our wonderful experience with Lu we decided to rescue another dog. We were not specifically looking for a Pit Bull type of dog but my wife and I fell in love with Kelsey when we first saw her at the shelter. When we had an opportunity to meet her and play with her she was so friendly and she bonded with us immediately. She turned over to let us rub her belly and then she went back to her cage to bring us one of her toys.
The shelter manager was crying and was so happy to see a happy ending for this 2 year old pup that had spent a year at the shelter. When i asked the manager hwo come she had been there so long she said that they made her unavailable to a number of prospective adopters because they wanted her to find a permanent loving home where she would not be in danger of being neglected or abused as sometimes happens with these dogs.
This is a real rags to riches story for this lucky pup as she enjoys Queen status and is spoiled rotten by her masters.
Congratulations to our the World Champion Ravens!
