The last time I updated you all about Artie it was to let you know that she had spent the weekend at the vet’s. Artie was home for two full days before she started having problems again. Thursday she went back to the vet’s and they kept her until Saturday. When she came home Saturday she seemed to be doing much better.
Unfortunately, it didn’t last. Saturday night she at maybe a 1/4 of the canned dog food I gave her. Sunday she didn’t eat a thing. She was also very unsteady on her back legs and kept stumbling into walls and falling down.
Artie was a trooper but it was apparent that it was time to let her go. I didn’t want to take her to the animal hospital, though, because I wanted her to be with people who knew and loved her.
I took her to the vet’s this morning for the last time. A friend who knew Artie well came with me. Artie was surrounded by people who loved her and she went very peacefully.
It’s hard, but I know she is in a much happier place.
R.I.P. Artie You were always a good girl
