I Have Random Thoughts

It's been a very rough last few days. My beautiful Australian Shepherd dog Diva was bitten by a tick and became infected with Lyme disease. She had to be euthanized yesterday because the paralysis was rampant throughout her body and moving into her throat. This horrendous disease afflicts many canines and is deadly to approxinsyely 3-5% of their population.

Thanks to the environmental activists, the city no longer sprays pesticides in the area so the tick numbers are increasing and are becoming an epidemic. I guess they don't realize how severe the problem actually is in regards to animals and humans..

I'm going to miss our little girl. She was my adorable fur baby and it seems strange not to have her sweet gentle and exuberant presence here today.

@ToyMan Thanks so much my friend, it's been a horrendous week. I'm so glad she's no longer in any pain.

@sensualbeauty1 At this point it's all we can do. Be thankful that they're not in pain and remember them fondly. 🤗

@ToyMan Oh that's so true, you cannot hold onto them when a disease is taking over so very rapidly and causing them such pain. She'll never be forgotten my lil Aussie girl.
