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.

That's terrible,I have an Australian Shepherd named Trigger,and I don't know what I would do if something happened to my bud.
@nate2244 She was a wonderful loyal, beautiful member of the family. It's been a very difficult week to say the least. Thank you, I hope you'll have many good years yet with Trigger.

Yes,and probably very intelligent too.They are good dogs.Thank you
@nate2244 They're really not enough adjectives to describe one's beloved pet. Australian Shepherds are well known for their intelligence. Her intellect shone through those soft brown eyes. You're welcome.
