Last sunday, november 2nd, we saw our little Snowy had problems walking. She sat down quite a lot and did not want to walk anymore. I called the animal clinic to verify if I could have her examined. By the time I arrived, I saw the condition was really bad. She was in a lot of pain. I had never seen her like that. They had to anesthetize her to be able to take some X-Ray pictures. The problem was an acute hernia, a severy one resulting in paralysis of both legs. I had to return home alone, knowing she maybe never would come home again. They've given her quite some medicine to see if the problem/pain could be reduced. The day after, I got a phone call with the bad news: there was no progress, still the paralyzed legs and the pain. Together with my wife and son, we then took the decision to put her to sleep as it was not justified to let her suffer that much. She passed away november 3rd, in the arms of my wife. The day after, she was cremated and now she is back home.
No more barking when we arrive at home. No more licking. No more 'hugging'. No more...
Rest in peace, Snowy. We miss you.
