I spoke to the vet and he said it's been the worse season of Parvo he's seen in ages. People are not vaccinating their dogs.

It could be owners weren't vaccinating the mothers or their puppies. Either way, it's reached almost epidemic proportions. I can hardly talk to anyone local who hasn't been affected in some way. <br /><br />We vaccinate our guys immediately. When Iko was a puppy, we wouldn't even let him visit other dogs until he had his first shots.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-1128717181146692242012-04-08T19:40:17.738-05:002012-04-08T19:40:17.738-05:00Oh no, not Murray then Biscuit!

I was afraid people would think I was a bit eccentric for falling in love with these guys so quickly. But they needed us and we couldn't turn our backs on them.<br /><br />Barbara: The alternative of seeing them put to sleep or get run over by traffic was never option. I wish it was a case that someone had lost them, but now I realize they had been dumped. Poor babies. I hope the culprits go to a special hell.<br /><br />Shelley: All hugs welcomed.

It doesn't matter how long they are with us, we love them. And when we lose them it hurt. Badly. <br /><br />At least sweet Biscuit knew love and a home.

I don't think anyone has ever shown her any affection. She rolls around like a little puppy every time we praise or pet her.<br /><br />Other than her severe arthritis, the vet gave her a clean bill of health, so she is up to date on all her shots and meds.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-31586549507217620892012-04-06T20:55:01.049-05:002012-04-06T20:55:01.049-05:00{{hugs}} Maria!

That it was Parvo, after all you went through with Murray, pulls all the more on the heart. <br /><br />So wrong those fur babies were dumped yet they couldn't have landed in better hands. I know you gave him the love he needed and made his final days beautiful. There's something, I don't know, special, maybe even peaceful, in his release from this life coming at the end of the storm. <br /><br />MaMa is blessed to have you, my friend. As you've said to me, it puts a smile on my face that she has found a home with you.<br /><br />I'm also thankful you and Greg made it through the storm. {{hugs}}Raelyn Barclayhttp://raelynbarclay.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-50070105943340726802012-04-06T20:54:49.578-05:002012-04-06T20:54:49.578-05:00Jenny: Sometimes a hug says more than any words.

But all these sucker punches are killing me. I don't even mention half the stuff that's gone wrong, only the big hurtful things.<br /><br />Stacy McKitrick: I didn't realize south Texas got hit with tornadoes too earlier in the week. I have friends who lost homes and cars in their storms. It's been a rough week for most of the state.<br /><br />Stacy: Thanks, hon. I'm okay. Just tired. Every time we look at the old MaMa, we think of Biscuit.<br /><br />Jackie: I don't think any of us expected that sort of weather.

I know your heart is half human/half-Animal Planet because you just love animals to bits. But having the strays show up put that part of your heart back on extra active. With Biscuit getting sick, he was with people who cared for him and loved him. Who wanted him to stay though it was his time to go. And he went on a powerful note, his last breath joined with the last breath of that blustering storm. With each thing that didn't go right, something worthwhile came from it. You got MaMa. Biscuit knew love and in its own poetic way, his passing brought an end to the storm.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-24359115829256997862012-04-06T11:28:22.383-05:002012-04-06T11:28:22.383-05:00I'm sorry you've have to go through all th...I'm sorry you've have to go through all that, especially losing Biscuit.
