Goodbye Jade.

Thursday 18th January 2007. So today is a very sad day. After battling with a "blood infection" (source still unknown) for nearly a month, Jade finally started to collapse and have fits today. After enduring 5 of these fits in a space of 3 hours this morning, it was time to take her back to the vets. In my heart of hearts i knew what the vet was going to suggest, but I never gave up hope that maybe she was just going to pull through this. But, the inevitable decision had to be made and concerns for her future health due the fits and possible other damage caused by the infection, led to the very difficult decision to have her put to sleep. Probably one the hardest decisions I have had to make in my life, but it was the kindest one for Jade.

 

She went quietly and with dignity and what will remain will be happy memories for all who knew and loved her. I will miss her so much, as she was my dog, pet, friend and companion and will I always remember her with fondness and love.

 

(As she was a rescue dog, we could only guess her age, but we believe that she was only 5 or 6 when she died).
