Our hearts were broken when we lost our 10-year-old Scottie to Cushing’s infection. Even though we had a rescue Catahoula and a beagle named Roxy, we still felt like our small family was missing something.
One evening, my husband went over an image on Facebook of a 3-year-old Catahoula canine named George that was confronting his last days in a kill cover in Stick Rouge, Louisiana.
We live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was unable to quit thinking about that canine, so he called the safe house and inquired as to whether they could hold George until Saturday when we could drive down to take him. They were eager to collaborate with us!
Well, a significant snowstorm arrived on Saturday. In the event that the power went out and our two dogs needed to be kept warm, we decided that I would stay at home with them. After snow plows, what should have taken four to five hours turned into twelve hours of icy roads.
In order for my husband to bring George home, the shelter kept in touch with him until 10:00 on a Saturday night. They needed to stop at a lodging for the time being nevertheless at long last made it home late Sunday night.
My better half and George were closest friends for more than 10 years. We needed to let George go last Monday.
Yes, it is extremely difficult to lose these wonderful animals, but the best way we can honor their memory is to love another rescue and help it live a happy life. They make our lives so much better.
