Yesterday my dog’s vet and I helped Lady Bird cross the rainbow Bridge. The vet almost couldn’t stop Birdy’s pain anymore, and the heart murmur was worse. So I held her as she went to sleep, then went on across. She had definitely been my heart dog, although I’ve had many I loved so much. But Birdy had so much to overcome. When I adopted her, she had brain and spinal injuries. She “walked funny” but got around just fine for 3 years. This last year she has crawled, and I padded a hand truck to assist her in getting outside. At first she could crawl faster than I could walk. But at 14 years old (which is about as old as a Brittany will get), she was falling often (while tending to business) or off her “uber”. When our vet said it was time, I agreed. Everyone who worked there came in to love on her a bit and shed tears. Birdy had a standing, 2:00 on Mondays appointment, for nearly 2 years for cold laser therapy. So everyone there had helped her for a long time. I will ask Gweedo to to post a picture of her tomorrow.
