elevator Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 wonderful people at the Clinica Para Animales. My wife and I lost our little Lola, a schnoodle, to congestive heart failure this morning after an eight day struggle to get better. She was with us eight years and of course it is heartbreaking. But,the care,concern and professionalism shown to us by those folks has been truly inspiring. Isabella meeting me at the clinic at 10:30 Friday night to stabilize Lola and then taking her to her own home to monitor her through the night. She also did the same thing Sunday night. I never once doubted the were doing everything medically possible to see if she could recover enough to be comfortable going forward. We had decided last evening during another night of no sleep that today we would have the DR. put her down. We were struggling with the decision about how to treat that situation with her sister Trixie, as they have been inseparable for eight years. While we were getting things together his morning to call the vets and try to decide Lola went out to the backyard laid down and made it all much easier on everyone. Trixie was with her and knows what has happened and we didn't have to make that last sad trip. Besides recognizing the wonderful care of DR.s Ladron, we wanted to let people here know, at some point soon, we will be looking for a new puppy as a companion for Trixie. Because we have three cats we believe they will accept a puppy and it will be an easier transition for all concerned. Keep us in mind if you have a litter or no of one with puppies that will be in the range of 20-30 lbs. We will, of course, be checking with all the local rescue facilities as well.

5Jacks Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I am very sorry for your loss. Lola was special to spare you the burden of making that heartbreaking decision. They are indeed all wonderful at the clinic, as is Dr. Berenice, who was once there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles100 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 So sorry for you loss. I know that Lucky Dog received 2 cute puppies just 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what size they will be but right now, they are tiny with curly hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What appears to be a young Mini Schnauzer mix (who gets along with cats and other dogs) is looking for a forever home. <from a previous post> Elaine at Ajijic Suites (on Hidalgo) rescued her but is not able to keep the dog.

vivien Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Last week a cardboard box containing 5 nursing puppies and their mom was thrown over the wall of a nearby field. They will all be needing homes in the future. Right now we cannot get close enough to see how large the pups are but are guessing around 3 weeks. We are feeding the mom but she won't let us anywhere near her babies. Mom is small, sandy color, short hair. Hopefully we will be able to reach the pups in about 5 weeks when they can go to a home.

Xena Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Elevator, I am sorry for the loss of your canine companion. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

elevator Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks too all. We know when we make animals part of our lives what we are signing on for, but n one of us would change it. We always give up something in life to get something. That's the way it works. Vivien keep me posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfull Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Elevator I am so sorry for your loss. Just a reminder....as our pets age and go to the rainbow bridge so do we. PLEASE make arrangements for your pets incase you go before they do. We all love our beloved pets and always want the best for them. Be sure you know who will care for them in case of your demise and be sure it is written AND some of your friends also know. If you love them you don't want them in an empty house or at a shelter. Now I am getting off my soapbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
