Yesterday on of my dogs, (Daisy) died. she was about 8 or 9 years old, she hadnt been sick or acting weird. i fed the dogs in the morning she was acting normal. i got a call mid day that she was dead, i came home as fast as i could. i tried doggy cpr for awhile but it was to late. maybe if i had been here when it happened, but it was to late. a few times in the last few years she had just passed out and fell over at random times. she would be down for a couple seconds then just wake up and be ok. it was always weird but only happened a couple times a year and she was always ok. the only thing that makes sence is that she must have been having seizures and maybe she choked on her tongue like people do. thats the only thing that makes sense. But regardless of why , she is gone now. she will be missed by all of us.. the way she wagged her whole body when she was excited and would sit atthe door licking the glass for hours at a time. her annoying little wo wo wo wo bark that she would do constantly for attention.
I originally found daisy in a aprking lot for the vons maket on sherman way and ettiwanda, she was all messed up. her face wwas bloody she was extremly skinny and covered in ticks,
but the way she just shoke her body when she barked and just her personality i had to take her home. she had been wandering the streets for awhile, she was like 30 pounds, she eventually got to almost 60 pounds, i took her home washed her up, spent about 5 hours pulling ticks off of her, i had a pair of needle nose pliers and a jar of bleach, i would gently pull the tick off her skin then drop it in the bleach, the ticks would still be alive for like a hour in the bleach it was so nasty, i hate ticks, through out her life she always had a skin problem i would take her to the vet regularly to get her treated, but its been pretty good for the last year or so. she instantly became a irreplaceable part of our family, i still cant believe she is gone
we lost a member of the family yesterday, and Daisy will be greatly missed forever
