Her Majesty Dogmad Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) I'm devastated because yesterday I lost my second dog in 2 weeks. I rescued Gloria from Renbury in April last year and she went to Karen in SA where she found a new home. Karen rang me in Sept to say Gloria had been dumped in the pound. Gloria was an old Beagle cross Shepherd with a loving and sweet nature. I did not want her to die in the pound so brought her back to Sydney where she fitted right in with me and my other old dogs. Within a couple of weeks of arrival she came on heat. I could see she'd had loads of puppies in her life but you would have hoped she'd have been desexed somewhere along the way as she was about 13 years. My vet desexed her after 3 weeks but bleeding continued so further surgery was undertaken a couple of weeks later. After that she was fine until 3 weeks ago when she strangely started bleeding again and acting like she was on heat. Tests were done and a hormone implant put in but then on Monday, the bleeding became heavier. My vet operated yesterday and found that although she'd cut out some tumours last year, a huge tumour had grown in a different place and spread everywhere, it was not treatable. So with great sorrow I had to let her go. Gloria gave me so much love in the last 6 months, she always had a smile on her face, she acted like a 5 year old and could outrun, outwalk many dogs half her age. She was so calm and placid, just a delight. She enjoyed the simple things, rolling round in the garden, walkies and dinner time. She loved cuddling up with all my other dogs at one time or another. When I lost the Wonder dog, 2 weeks ago, she sat in front of me and tried her best to comfort me. The rest of her health including her teeth were amazing for her age and I'd hoped she be with me for a few more happy years. Gloria - run free with the Wonder Dog :rolleyes: Edited April 20, 2007 by dogmad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
