Sunday the 27th, I wrote about Blondie the puppy that Animal without Limits (we) found on the street. We took her over for medicine and to be boarded at the Dr Fritz veterinarian clinic for health treatment. Dr. Fritz called me this morning. Sadly, Blondie had to be put down to sleep today, this morning. She was doing fine until she had a seizure attack today and it showed she had distemper.
Such a bittersweet moment! It is just plain sad that so many dogs are roaming around on the streets with painful, ultimately deadly disease(s). The mother dogs don't have a high immune system themselves, and her puppies are not getting the protection they would have gotten from a healthy, strong mother dog. And obviously, without a human family, no vaccinations to help protect them, either.
One could look at it as wasted time and effort (and money). But, if we wouldn't have found her and bought her in she would have had suffered a long, painful death. So, in that way we spared her, and gave her nearly a week with people that truly love and care for their animal guests. But to know she is one off hundreds breaks my heart.
Show us Amore. Please help!

Thanks so much for showing that puppy such love and devotion, even if it was only a little while.
