The manager at the shelter I work with had to let her boy go on Wednesday. His name was Cowboy and he was a Corgi. He turned 15 on Tuesday and went to the Bridge the very next day.
Last Saturday, as Anne was getting ready to go to ARF for the big "free adoption" event, Cowboy collapsed. She thought he had suffered a stroke. On Tuesday she told me he was doing better. Then Thursday morning I got the email that she let him go.
Here is part of her email: He had a tumor on his spleen that was cutting off the his flow of oxygen. He had had a check up in March and was ok, my vet said it was a tumor that when it took off it spread like wild fire. The lack of oxygen is probably what caused what I thought was a mild stroke on Saturday. What a brave little guy he was, now I have another guardian angel to look after me, how lucky can I get.
I just wanted to give him a memorial thread, because Anne means so much to me and I know she is hurting, even though she knows he is at peace.
If I get a good amount of responses I'll send her a link to this thread. Thank you.
RIP Cowboy
