Saddest Summer

In my home, the canines are royal. What with the daily cleaning of the grounds for sanitary doggy habitat. And early this year, in exasperation of taking care of five dogs, I took a deep breath and told my sister that five doggies are simply too much. Boom! By March, our Brittany Spaniel was taken by some cruel creatures. Hu Hu. That's what I get for complaining. Then the Equinox came. With the heat, the soil became arid. My royal household suddenly became infected with some fatal illness. My Japanese Spitz went 11 June, my mixed Spaniel and Collie, just a puppy, came next, 19 June, and my lovely half Collie succumbed, more to depression, I think, 30 June. I have one more pup, a survivor, and I pray she lives full term of a doggy's life.

How nice to see you here Eileen. So very sorry to hear about your dogs it does sound like parvo or maybe Leishmaniosis which is rife in this country. Its not your complaining that has done it so don“t feel so bad. We have a big dog and he is a lot of work he gets ear infections by the dozen sometimes and I really hope that your puppy lives a full and happy life.

Thank you, lovingangelsinstead2, it does feel good to get to log in on mylot. Been tremendously busy with my girls, and I thought that about this time of being a mother, I would have spree time, but nay, the more errands I have, for the girls need a lot of assists in their work. Our puppy is a joy, and I am thrilled to watch her become like her folks, both lovely canines. Hope you are well.

Sorry for your loss. I also have dogs, 2 adults and 2 adolescent. It takes a lot of patience and understanding for their care.

Thanks, josefina. Yes, dogs deserve our care, for they are devoted to us. I just got fatigued, sometimes, the physical exhaustion makes one say things one shouldn't be saying. Lesson learned with severe heartache. Hu hu.
