With love to Kira

So far, this has been an incredibly tough year - we've already lost Corkie, Bangle and Sierra.  So, this week wasn't any easier when we had to lay Kira to rest on Monday July 1, 2013. 

 A couple of weeks ago she suffered some sort of a neck and spine injury - not sure why or even how.  We treated her with traditional medicine with no improvement.  Then, we started working with Dr. Jennifer Freeman, All Creatures Mobile Veterinary doing acupuncture and adding some herbs and other pain relievers.  At first it seemed like it was going to help but she continued to decline. 

Dr. Jenny visited on Saturday June 29 and determined that additional treatments would probably not provide any significant improvement so we administered a pain relieving treatment and made the decision to enjoy our weekend and then let her go on Monday.

Kira, also known as Stinky, was truly one of the best dogs ever!  We have loved her since she was 8 weeks old - a rescue from Pet Rescue by Judy. She never did one single bad thing in her entire life!  She was a mentor to the younger dogs and loved to play with everyone.  She was sweet, loving and kind.  She will always be a big part of our heart.  We miss her terribly but we are grateful for our time with her and that she is now pain free and in peace.
